I was looking for a way to pull docs from Minio and display them using Doctor.

do not understand the requirement here? @StevenH001 - https://docs.minio.io is the real deployment pulling in docs from Minio.
@harshavardhana - I will try to elaborate more. I was looking for a way to store documents/files/etc.. in Minio using Docker. Then I would like to be able to display those documents using Doctor with a unique url attached to them. I like how Doctor pulls GitHub ReadMe and displays it while allowing changes to be submitted by users. I was hoping I could store multiple files on Minio and still maintain all the aforementioned functionality.
I asked about this in the Slack and was told I should bring this as an idea here. I do not know the feasibility or applicability of this idea. But I figured I would suggest it nonetheless.

@StevenH001 if these docs are publicly accessible then you can make the bucket read-only with that you would get public links..which can be inserted into doctor.

Doctor already by design looks for publicly accessible URLs - now if a URL comes from github or elsewhere shouldn't matter // cc @deekoder
So you can see doctor already supports here is an example of markdowns directly being served from Minio - https://play.minio.io:9000 is a public minio server which can be used for testing.
In this screenshot i used https://play.minio.io:9000/harsha/tls/README.md
@harshavardhana - this is not true. We do only support git urls for md files. But this is a trivial change that can be undone. So that we can accept any URL from any source.
Ok @harshavardhana is right. It works for github or any url. But please note that suggest edits button will not work unless the url is pointing to github. I will fix this in Doctor.
@harshavardhana Thank you for all the help! I do still seem to have one problem unfortunately. When passing the url into Doctor I am getting back html code. I assume this is because I am not passing in the raw url. I understand how to access the raw url in GitHub, but how would I achieve this in the Minio urls?
I see in your screenshot that you used https://play.minio.io:9000/harsha/tls/README.md - this works with for me as well, but your link is the raw version when I navigate to it, correct?
However, if I access the public Minio https://play.minio.io:9000/minio/harsha/tls/README.md - it will not work and will return the html again.
@StevenH001 using browser based link is not the right URL. /minio is only used by Minio to route the traffic the real URL is without /minio and should be used the way I suggested above.
@harshavardhana excellent, that worked. Thank you very much!!
