Minio Connection
Description
This metadata type can be used to add a new S3 endpoint to your project. You can define multiple S3 endpoints in the same project. Using a Minio client to connect to an S3 endpoint allows you to specify the name in the path. For example, if your Minio Connection is named sss (Simple Storage Service), you can specify a path to a bucket as sss:///bucketName.
Note: If you create a folder in the root (sss:// in our example) it results in the creation of a bucket.

-
To test a connection you can use the Hop GUI File dialog (File - Open) and type
ChosenName://to see the bucket list of the S3 service. -
Give logical and simple names to these Minio metadata connection elements.
-
Take a functional name instead of a technical one.
-
Avoid dashes and the like.
-
Don’t use the name of existing VFS drivers, either built-in (like file, ftp, http, …) or added through other VFS plugins (like s3, azure, gs, …).
