  2. Configure ENV Variables
  3. Configure Logging. sentry-cli login sentry.io
  4. Deploy (Recommended to deploy to Vercel)

MinIo Setup

MinIo is a self hosted s3 storage solution. Because this project is focused around open source solutions cuota is optimized to work with MinIo.

MinIo Container

This docker command starts the container with admin pass and Domain configured.

Replace CHANGEME with secure password.

docker run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  -d \
  --name minio \
  -v /mnt/hd1/minio/data:/data \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=admin" \
  -e "MINIO_BROWSER_REDIRECT_URL=http://admin.s3.noekrebs.ch" \
  -e "MINIO_SERVER_URL=https://s3.noekrebs.ch" \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=CHANGEME" \
  quay.io/minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"

Apache Proxy configuration

This configuration allows public access to the self hosted Minio server (Running in Docker).

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName storage.noekrebs.ch
    ServerAlias s3.noekrebs.ch
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/storage_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/storage_access.log combined

    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyVia Block
    ProxyPreserveHost On

    <Proxy *>
         Require all granted
    </Proxy>

    ProxyPass / http://localhost:9000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9000/

    Header setifempty Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

    SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/s3.noekrebs.ch-0001/fullchain.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/s3.noekrebs.ch-0001/privkey.pem
    Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
</VirtualHost>

Currently there is a problem with CORS because the MinIo server dose not return a CORS Header for Images. This blocks the frontend from Automatically download the files. This is fixed with the following workaround in the Proxy configuration.

Header setifempty Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

Image optimization

For now I use a manual compression proccess on the Client. If you are interested about my learnings with imgproxy you can check out my Notes.

Maintenance

Because we want our shared files to expire eventually we need to set a cronjob. But because this project is centered around a easy to use solution we will use the cron-job.org service. This service is a simple to use service that allows you to schedule a http request to a url.

Cronjob.org Setup

I have setup a job with the following configuration.

Add your service key (SERVICE_KEY) configured in the .env file.

cron config
