dotnet-s3-example

I had not worked with S3 storage before and wanted to learn some basics. Minio is free, fast and easy to use so I am starting with that. Minio has a nice API/client offering availble via nuget - but since S3 is more-or-less an open standard, I thought it would be interesting to use the AWS S3 API against a minio endpoint. In this repo i'll spin up a minio endpoint via docker, and write some very simple .Net client code to perform CRUD operations on buckets and objects.

Instructions

Clone this repository and start up a demo instance of minio

git clone https://github.com/thefnordling/dotnet-s3-example.git
cd ./dotnet-s3-example/docker
docker compose up -d

This instance of minio is just for local development and testing, it is not secured or clustered - it should not be run in production or used to store anything sensitive or important.

• Browse to http://localhost:9001
• Log in with the username minio and the password snickerdoodle
• Under Object Browser - click Create a Bucket and call it pail and hit the Create Bucket button
• Under access keys click Create access key + and then Create. As prompted - make note of the access key and secret key as they will not be viewable from the console again.
• Set two local environmental variables S3Demo__AccessKey and S3Demo__SecretKey and populate them with the respective values you copied from the previous step. You may need to restart your development tools for the new environmental variables to load
• change directory to ./src/app
• execute dotnet run
