Add MinIO Account

Add a MinIO storage account to PlaidCloud for importing and exporting data files using self-hosted S3-compatible object storage.

MinIO Setup

These steps need to be completed within the MinIO Console or via the mc CLI.

  1. Sign in to the MinIO Console (e.g. https://your-minio-host:9001)
  2. Navigate to Buckets and create a bucket if one does not already exist. Note the bucket name.
  3. Navigate to Identity > Users (or Access Keys)
  4. Create a new user or service account with read/write access to the target bucket
  5. Copy the Access Key and Secret Key generated for the user. Save both for the PlaidCloud Document setup below.
  6. Note the MinIO endpoint URL (e.g. https://play.min.io or https://minio.yourcompany.com)

You should now have everything you need to add your MinIO account to PlaidCloud Document.
