I am trying to create a default bucket in MiniO docker container with my local files uploaded as a default content.
I have written a simple docker-compose file to run Minio client:
version: "2.0"
services:
minio:
image: 'bitnami/minio:latest'
ports:
- '9000:9000'
- '9001:9001'
environment:
MINIO_ROOT_USER: user
MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
volumes:
- ~/test_data:/data
Inside the local folder test_data
, there is a folder named test_bucket
that contains 1 text file: question_list.txt
When I login to MiniO console in localhost:9001
, I managed to see a default bucket created named test_bucket
, but it is empty.
To double-check if the volume is mounted correctly, I looked inside the container with docker exec -it test-minio-1 /bin/bash
and I could find the question_list.txt
inside /data/test_bucket/
.
I don’t know why the question_list.txt
is not showing up in MiniO console. I have tried to contact the developers in GitHub and it seems this is not possible.
I would like to ask if anyone faces similar issues and has a workaround, as for my actual use case, I will have GBs of local files that need to be used as default content inside the default bucket.
Thank you in advance for your constructive feedback.

I would like to update my situation.
My issue is mainly caused by the new feature from minio that applies versioning with metadata, as explained in their blog post. As it turns out, developers who used the older version of MinIO still could work normally as posted in this forum.
So to solve my current issue, I copy pasted the old config files stored in the folder
.minio.sys
from the old version of MinIO and now I can see the files appearing correctly in both my machine and the browser. I think that rolling back an older Docker image of MinIO would also solve my current issue.As this is more relevant to my issue at hand, I will use this as the answer to my question.
You can do it with extra service like this config:
