Migrating MinIO from Ubuntu to Coolify

If you're running MinIO on an Ubuntu server and looking to simplify your infrastructure management, migrating to Coolify could be a game-changer. Coolify is a powerful tool that allows you to manage your applications and services with ease. This guide will walk you through the process of migrating your MinIO server from Ubuntu to Coolify.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have:

• A running MinIO server on Ubuntu
• Basic knowledge of using the terminal
• An internet connection
• A Coolify account (sign up at Coolify)

Step-by-Step Migration Guide

1. Backup Your MinIO Data

First, ensure that all your data is backed up. You can use the mc command-line tool to create a backup of your MinIO data.

mc mirror myminio/mybucket /path/to/backup

####2. Install Coolify on a New Server
If you haven't already, install Coolify on a new server. Follow the installation guide provided on the Coolify website.

####3. Create a New MinIO Service in Coolify
Log in to your Coolify dashboard.

Click on "Create New Service".

Select "MinIO" from the list of available services.

Configure the MinIO service with the necessary settings (e.g., access key, secret key).

####4. Configure Environment Variables
In the Coolify dashboard, configure the environment variables for your MinIO service. Ensure that the settings match those of your existing MinIO server on Ubuntu.

env

MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=your-access-key
MINIO_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
MINIO_VOLUMES=/data
####5. Start the MinIO Service
Once the configuration is complete, start the MinIO service in Coolify.

####6. Restore Your Data
With the new MinIO service running in Coolify, you can now restore your data from the backup.

bash

mc mirror /path/to/backup mycoolify/mybucket
####7. Verify the Migration
Access the MinIO web interface or use the mc command-line tool to verify that your data has been successfully migrated.

bash

mc ls mycoolify/mybucket
