MinIO is a high-performance, distributed object storage system designed for large-scale data infrastructure. It is compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service and is ideal for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups, and container images. MinIO is known for its simplicity, high performance, and scalability, making it a popular choice for cloud-native applications.
When configuring MinIO for static website hosting, you might encounter the error InvalidWebsiteConfiguration. This error indicates that the website configuration provided is not valid, preventing MinIO from serving your static website correctly.
The InvalidWebsiteConfiguration error occurs when the JSON configuration for the static website is malformed or contains invalid entries. MinIO requires a specific format for the website configuration, and any deviation from this format can lead to errors.
For more details on the configuration format, refer to the MinIO Documentation.
To resolve the InvalidWebsiteConfiguration error, follow these steps:
Ensure that your website configuration JSON is correctly formatted. Here is an example of a valid configuration:
{
"IndexDocument": {
"Suffix": "index.html"
},
"ErrorDocument": {
"Key": "error.html"
}
}
Use a JSON validator tool like JSONLint to check the syntax of your configuration file. Ensure there are no missing commas, brackets, or incorrect data types.
Once validated, apply the configuration using the MinIO client (mc) command:
mc mb myminio/mybucket
mc website set myminio/mybucket --config-file=website.json
Replace myminio with your MinIO alias and mybucket with your bucket name.
After applying the configuration, test your static website by accessing it through the browser. Ensure that the index and error pages load correctly.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the InvalidWebsiteConfiguration error and successfully host your static website on MinIO. For further assistance, consult the MinIO Quickstart Guide.
