+# MinIO
+
+High-performance S3-compatible object storage for Kubernetes:
+
+- **MinIO**: S3-compatible object storage server
+- **Keycloak OIDC Integration**: Centralized authentication via OpenID Connect
+- **Policy-based Access Control**: Fine-grained permissions using MinIO policies
+- **Bucket Management**: Create and manage storage buckets
+- **User Management**: Create service accounts with dedicated buckets
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Kubernetes cluster (k3s)
+- Keycloak (for OIDC authentication)
+- External Secrets Operator (optional, for Vault integration)
+- Vault (optional, for credential storage)
+- Storage provisioner (e.g., Longhorn)
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+just minio::install
+```
+
+You will be prompted for:
+
+1. **MinIO host (FQDN)**: e.g., `minio.example.com` (API endpoint)
+2. **MinIO Console host (FQDN)**: e.g., `minio-console.example.com` (Web UI)
+
+### What Gets Installed
+
+1. MinIO server in standalone mode
+2. Keycloak OIDC client with `minioPolicy` attribute mapper
+3. Root credentials stored in Kubernetes Secret (and optionally Vault)
+4. Ingress for both API and Console endpoints
+5. Persistent volume for data storage
+
+The stack uses the official [MinIO Helm Chart](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/helm/minio).
+
+## Pod Security Standards
+
+The minio namespace uses **restricted** Pod Security Standard enforcement.
+
+```bash
+pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce=restricted
+```
+
+### Security Context
+
+**Pod Security Context**:
+
+- `runAsUser: 1000`
+- `runAsGroup: 1000`
+- `fsGroup: 1000`
+- `fsGroupChangePolicy: OnRootMismatch`
+- `seccompProfile.type: RuntimeDefault`
+
+**Container Security Context**:
+
+- `allowPrivilegeEscalation: false`
+- `capabilities.drop: [ALL]`
+- `runAsNonRoot: true`
+- `seccompProfile.type: RuntimeDefault`
+
+**Note**: `readOnlyRootFilesystem: false` is required because MinIO needs to write data and temporary files.
+
+### Init Jobs Security
+
+The `makeUserJob` and `makePolicyJob` init jobs also apply the same restricted security context to comply with Pod Security Standards.
+
+## Access
+
+### Web Console
+
+Access MinIO Console at `https://your-minio-console-host/`
+
+**Authentication**: Login with Keycloak (OIDC)
+
+### Root Credentials
+
+For administrative access:
+
+- Username: Retrieved via `just minio::root-username`
+- Password: Retrieved via `just minio::root-password`
+
+### API Endpoint
+
+S3-compatible API: `https://your-minio-host/`
+
+## Configuration
+
+Environment variables (set in `.env.local` or override):
+
+```bash
+MINIO_NAMESPACE=minio                        # Kubernetes namespace
+MINIO_CHART_VERSION=5.4.0                    # MinIO Helm chart version
+MINIO_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=minio                   # Keycloak client ID
+MINIO_STORAGE_SIZE=50Gi                      # Persistent volume size
+MINIO_HOST=                                  # MinIO API FQDN
+MINIO_CONSOLE_HOST=                          # MinIO Console FQDN
+KEYCLOAK_REALM=buunstack                     # Keycloak realm
+```
+
+## MinIO Client (mc) Setup
+
+The MinIO Client (`mc`) provides a command-line interface for managing MinIO.
+
+### Install mc
+
+```bash
+# macOS
+brew install minio-mc
+
+# Linux
+curl https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/linux-amd64/mc --create-dirs -o $HOME/bin/mc
+chmod +x $HOME/bin/mc
+```
+
+### Configure mc Alias
+
+#### For Regular Users (Recommended)
+
+The recommended way to create credentials is through the MinIO Console web UI:
+
+1. **Login to MinIO Console**: Navigate to `https://your-minio-console-host/`
+2. **Authenticate with Keycloak**: Click "Login with Keycloak"
+3. **Create Access Key**:
+   - Go to **User** → **Access Keys**
+   - Click **Create access key**
+   - Copy the **Access Key** and **Secret Key** (shown only once!)
+   - Optionally set expiration and policy restrictions
+   - Save these credentials securely
+
+4. **Configure mc alias**:
+
+```bash
+mc alias set myminio https://your-minio-host <ACCESS_KEY> <SECRET_KEY>
+```
+
+**Note**: Access Keys created via Console are not stored anywhere by the system. Save them immediately when created.
+
+#### For Programmatic Service Accounts
+
+If you created a service account using `just minio::create-user` (for application use), the credentials are automatically stored in Vault:
+
+```bash
+# Set up Vault access
+export VAULT_ADDR="https://your-vault-host"
+just vault::setup-token
+
+# Extract credentials from Vault
+ACCESS_KEY=$(vault kv get -mount=secret -field=access_key myuser/minio)
+SECRET_KEY=$(vault kv get -mount=secret -field=secret_key myuser/minio)
+BUCKET=$(vault kv get -mount=secret -field=bucket myuser/minio)
+
+# Configure mc alias
+mc alias set myuser-minio https://your-minio-host ${ACCESS_KEY} ${SECRET_KEY}
+```
+
+### Common mc Commands
+
+```bash
+# List buckets
+mc ls myminio
+
+# Create bucket
+mc mb myminio/mybucket
+
+# Upload file
+mc cp myfile.txt myminio/mybucket/
+
+# Download file
+mc cp myminio/mybucket/myfile.txt ./
+
+# Remove file
+mc rm myminio/mybucket/myfile.txt
+
+# List files in bucket
+mc ls myminio/mybucket
+
+# Copy directory recursively
+mc cp --recursive mydir/ myminio/mybucket/mydir/
+
+# Set bucket policy (public read)
+mc anonymous set download myminio/mybucket
+
+# Set bucket policy (private)
+mc anonymous set none myminio/mybucket
+
+# Mirror local directory to bucket
+mc mirror localdir/ myminio/mybucket/
+
+# Get bucket versioning status
+mc version info myminio/mybucket
+
+# Enable bucket versioning
+mc version enable myminio/mybucket
+```
+
+## Bucket Management
+
+### Create Bucket
+
+Using Just recipes:
+
+```bash
+just minio::create-bucket mybucket
+```
+
+Using mc:
+
+```bash
+mc mb myminio/mybucket
+```
+
+### Check if Bucket Exists
+
+```bash
+just minio::bucket-exists mybucket
+```
+
+This returns exit code 0 if the bucket exists, 1 otherwise.
+
+## User Management
+
+### Create MinIO User
+
+Create a MinIO user with dedicated bucket:
+
+```bash
+just minio::create-user user=myuser bucket=mybucket
+```
+
+This will:
+
+1. Generate access key and secret key
+2. Create the bucket
+3. Create MinIO user with readwrite policy
+4. Store credentials in Vault (if External Secrets is available)
+
+**Interactive mode** (prompts for username):
+
+```bash
+just minio::create-user
+```
+
+The bucket defaults to `{username}-storage` if not specified.
+
+### Get Service Account Credentials
+
+For programmatically created service accounts (via `just minio::create-user`), retrieve credentials from Vault:
+
+```bash
+# Set up Vault access
+export VAULT_ADDR="https://your-vault-host"
+just vault::setup-token
+
+# Get all stored information
+vault kv get -mount=secret myuser/minio
+
+# Or get specific fields
+vault kv get -mount=secret -field=access_key myuser/minio
+vault kv get -mount=secret -field=secret_key myuser/minio
+vault kv get -mount=secret -field=bucket myuser/minio
+vault kv get -mount=secret -field=endpoint myuser/minio
+```
+
+**Note**: Regular user Access Keys created via MinIO Console are not stored in Vault.
+
+### Grant Policy to User
+
+Change user permissions:
+
+```bash
+just minio::grant-policy user=myuser policy=readonly
+```
+
+Available policies:
+
+- `readwrite`: Full read and write access
+- `readonly`: Read-only access
+- `writeonly`: Write-only access
+
+## OIDC Authentication
+
+MinIO uses Keycloak for web console authentication via OIDC.
+
+### MinIO Policy Claim
+
+Users authenticate via Keycloak and receive MinIO policies based on the `minioPolicy` user attribute.
+
+**Default Policy**: `readwrite`
+
+**Available Policies**:
+
+- `readwrite`: Full access
+- `readonly`: Read-only access
+- `writeonly`: Write-only access
+
+### Set User Policy via Keycloak
+
+The `minioPolicy` attribute is automatically added to users upon client creation. To modify:
+
+1. Login to Keycloak Admin Console
+2. Navigate to Users → Select User → Attributes
+3. Set `minioPolicy` to desired policy (e.g., `readonly`)
+
+## Admin Operations
+
+### List Policies and Users
+
+Debug information about MinIO internal state:
+
+```bash
+just minio::debug-info
+```
+
+This shows:
+
+- All MinIO policies
+- All MinIO users
+
+### Using mc Admin Commands
+
+```bash
+# List users
+mc admin user list myminio
+
+# List policies
+mc admin policy list myminio
+
+# Create policy from file
+mc admin policy create myminio mypolicy /path/to/policy.json
+
+# Attach policy to user
+mc admin policy attach myminio mypolicy --user=myuser
+
+# Server info
+mc admin info myminio
+
+# Server stats
+mc admin top locks myminio
+```
+
+## S3 API Usage
+
+### AWS CLI
+
+Configure AWS CLI to use MinIO:
+
+```bash
+# Configure profile
+aws configure --profile minio
+# Enter:
+# - AWS Access Key ID: (MinIO access key)
+# - AWS Secret Access Key: (MinIO secret key)
+# - Region: us-east-1 (default)
+# - Output format: json
+
+# Use with custom endpoint
+aws --profile minio --endpoint-url https://your-minio-host s3 ls
+
+# List buckets
+aws --profile minio --endpoint-url https://your-minio-host s3 ls
+
+# Upload file
+aws --profile minio --endpoint-url https://your-minio-host \
+  s3 cp myfile.txt s3://mybucket/
+
+# Download file
+aws --profile minio --endpoint-url https://your-minio-host \
+  s3 cp s3://mybucket/myfile.txt ./
+```
+
+### Python (boto3)
+
+```python
+import boto3
+
+s3 = boto3.client(
+    's3',
+    endpoint_url='https://your-minio-host',
+    aws_access_key_id='your-access-key',
+    aws_secret_access_key='your-secret-key',
+    region_name='us-east-1'
+)
+
+# List buckets
+response = s3.list_buckets()
+for bucket in response['Buckets']:
+    print(bucket['Name'])
+
+# Upload file
+s3.upload_file('myfile.txt', 'mybucket', 'myfile.txt')
+
+# Download file
+s3.download_file('mybucket', 'myfile.txt', 'downloaded.txt')
+```
+
+### Environment Variables for Applications
+
+```bash
+# S3-compatible endpoint
+AWS_ENDPOINT_URL=https://your-minio-host
+
+# Or service-internal endpoint (from pods)
+AWS_ENDPOINT_URL=http://minio.minio.svc.cluster.local:9000
+
+# Credentials
+AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key
+AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-key
+AWS_REGION=us-east-1
+
+# MinIO-specific (some libraries)
+MINIO_ENDPOINT=your-minio-host
+MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=your-access-key
+MINIO_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
+MINIO_BUCKET=mybucket
+```
+
+## Integration Patterns
+
+### Application with Dedicated Bucket
+
+1. **Create MinIO service account and bucket**:
+
+   ```bash
+   just minio::create-user user=myapp
+   ```
+
+   This will output the credentials and store them in Vault (if External Secrets is available).
+
+2. **Get credentials from Vault** (if needed later):
+
+   ```bash
+   # Set up Vault access
+   export VAULT_ADDR="https://your-vault-host"
+   just vault::setup-token
+
+   # Get credentials
+   ACCESS_KEY=$(vault kv get -mount=secret -field=access_key myapp/minio)
+   SECRET_KEY=$(vault kv get -mount=secret -field=secret_key myapp/minio)
+   BUCKET=$(vault kv get -mount=secret -field=bucket myapp/minio)
+   ```
+
+3. **Create Kubernetes Secret** (if not using External Secrets):
+
+   ```bash
+   kubectl create secret generic myapp-minio -n myapp \
+     --from-literal=access-key=myapp \
+     --from-literal=secret-key=<generated-secret> \
+     --from-literal=bucket=myapp-storage \
+     --from-literal=endpoint=http://minio.minio.svc.cluster.local:9000
+   ```
+
+4. **Mount in application**:
+
+   ```yaml
+   env:
+     - name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
+       valueFrom:
+         secretKeyRef:
+           name: myapp-minio
+           key: access-key
+     - name: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+       valueFrom:
+         secretKeyRef:
+           name: myapp-minio
+           key: secret-key
+     - name: AWS_ENDPOINT_URL
+       valueFrom:
+         secretKeyRef:
+           name: myapp-minio
+           key: endpoint
+     - name: S3_BUCKET
+       valueFrom:
+         secretKeyRef:
+           name: myapp-minio
+           key: bucket
+   ```
+
+### External Secrets Integration
+
+If using External Secrets Operator:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
+kind: ExternalSecret
+metadata:
+  name: myapp-minio
+  namespace: myapp
+spec:
+  refreshInterval: 1h
+  secretStoreRef:
+    name: vault-backend
+    kind: ClusterSecretStore
+  target:
+    name: myapp-minio
+    creationPolicy: Owner
+  data:
+    - secretKey: access-key
+      remoteRef:
+        key: myapp/minio
+        property: access_key
+    - secretKey: secret-key
+      remoteRef:
+        key: myapp/minio
+        property: secret_key
+    - secretKey: bucket
+      remoteRef:
+        key: myapp/minio
+        property: bucket
+    - secretKey: endpoint
+      remoteRef:
+        key: myapp/minio
+        property: endpoint
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Check MinIO Pod Status
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n minio
+```
+
+### View MinIO Logs
+
+```bash
+kubectl logs -n minio deploy/minio
+```
+
+### Test S3 Connectivity
+
+```bash
+# From inside cluster
+kubectl run -it --rm debug --image=minio/mc --restart=Never -- \
+  mc alias set test http://minio.minio.svc.cluster.local:9000 \
+    $(just minio::root-username) \
+    $(just minio::root-password)
+
+kubectl run -it --rm debug --image=minio/mc --restart=Never -- \
+  mc ls test
+```
+
+### Check OIDC Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Verify Keycloak client
+just keycloak::get-client buunstack minio
+
+# Check MinIO environment
+kubectl get deployment minio -n minio -o jsonpath='{.spec.template.spec.containers[0].env}' | jq
+```
+
+### Reset Root Credentials
+
+```bash
+# Delete existing secret
+kubectl delete secret minio -n minio
+
+# Recreate credentials
+just minio::create-root-credentials
+```
+
+### Verify Bucket Permissions
+
+```bash
+# List bucket policy
+mc anonymous list myminio/mybucket
+
+# Check user policy
+mc admin policy info myminio readwrite
+```
+
+## Management
+
+### Uninstall MinIO
+
+```bash
+just minio::uninstall
+```
+
+This removes:
+
+- MinIO deployment
+- MinIO namespace
+- Keycloak client
+- **Note**: PersistentVolumeClaim is also deleted, losing all data
+
+### Backup Before Uninstall
+
+```bash
+# Mirror all buckets to local directory
+mc mirror myminio/ ./minio-backup/
+
+# Or use specific bucket
+mc mirror myminio/important-bucket/ ./backup/
+```
