Learn more about how you can use this plugin in the [documentation](https://docs.medusajs.com/add-plugins/minio). ## Options ```js { endpoint: "minio.server.com", bucket: "test", access_key_id: "YOUR-ACCESS-KEY", secret_access_key: "YOUR-SECRET-KEY", // private bucket configuration private_bucket: 'private-bucket', private_access_key_id: "YOUR-ACCESS-KEY", private_secret_access_key: "YOUR-SECRET-KEY", } ``` Optionally a `download_url_duration` option can be specified to change the valid duration of presigned download links. The duration is configured in seconds. (Default = 60 seconds) ## Configuring a private bucket in Minio Certain operations in Medusa such as data import and export require a separate, protected bucket. The plugin will raise an error if operations used for imports and exports are invoked without the correct setup. Configuring Minio for requires configuration of one additional option: `private_bucket` which refers to the name given to the protected bucket in Minio. Separate credentials can, optionally, be used to access the private bucket by configuring the following options: ``` private_access_key_id: "YOUR-ACCESS-KEY", private_secret_access_key: "YOUR-SECRET-KEY", ``` If no separate access key is given the same access key will be used for both the `bucket` and the `private_bucket`.
