How can I get MINIO access and secret key?

Question

I'm new to minio and I want to use it in a Django app, I read the documentation of minio python library and there is fields for MINIO_ENDPOINT, MINIO_ACCESS_KEY, MINIO_SECRET_KEY. I read the Quickstart documentation of minio but I didn't figure out how to find these parameters.

Solution 1

Go to your minio console and find Users page. You can create a new user and set it MINIO_ACCESS_KEY and MINIO_SECRET_KEY or can view user credentials.

Solution 2

AccessKey is similar to username and should be minimum of 5 characters. SecretKey is similar to password, it should be randomly generated and kept secure.

minio defaults to minioadmin and minioadmin as the access key and secret key respectively. When you login change those.

Note that your policy must allow for credentials reset, the default policy consoleAdmin allows for that.
