A minio based microservice to multi-cloud storage

Niffler is a microservice that provides endpoints to manage files; it uses minio to provide a multi-cloud compatible storage solution.

Usage

Run with docker-compose

$ docker-compose up

This will run a minio container and a niffler container

Here, the default niffler behaviour is to use a local single storage on minio container.

Run the service

  1. Install the dependecies
$ pnpm i

OR

$ npm i
  1. Build
$ npm run build
  1. Run
$ npm start

Credentials are necessary to access some cloud services; the .envrc.sample file is a sample of the supported environment variables:

$ export STORAGE_SIGNEDURL_TTL="3600"
$ export STORAGE_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE="5242880"
$ export STORAGE_BUCKET="storage-development"
$ export STORAGE_ENDPOINT="http://minio.127.0.0.1.nip.io"
$ export STORAGE_CREDENTIALS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
$ export STORAGE_CREDENTIALS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"

When using Amazon S3, suppress the STORAGE_ENDPOINT environment variable

Endpoints

Niffler provides endpoints to communicate with the storage server
