Off-cluster Minio

[rukor]

Please how do I use my existing minio instance off cluster, as I am running locally, and do not want to use Amazon S3. I understand the API is compatible and Deis is alreadying using minio internally. I just want to use an off-cluster instance of Minio.

I have already ran

helm inspect values deis/workflow | sed -n '1!p' > values.yaml

and configured the credentials under s3, but it seems that there is no way to configure the host/url.

Thanks

currently there is no way to do this, however PRs would be accepted to get this working.

I have limited experience with Go, but can you point me to a relevant place to get started?

You'll want to modify the workflow umbrella chart, which is not written in Go. After that, you'll want to make changes to the builder, the registry and to the database. Two of them are bootstrapped by a Go wrapper, and a git grep minio will usually get you where you need to be in the codebase.

Some links to help you get started:
