Elasticsearch: how to make snapshot to minio s3? - docker

Question

when i am trying to make snapshots to my s3 (minio deployed locally), by executing the following command inside my elasticsearch docker container:
curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/_snapshot/s3_repository/snapshot_1?wait_for_completion=true&pretty"
i got the following :
{
"error" : {
"root_cause" : [
{
"type" : "repository_exception",
"reason" : "[s3_repository] Could not determine repository generation from root blobs"
}
],
"type" : "repository_exception",
"reason" : "[s3_repository] Could not determine repository generation from root blobs",
"caused_by" : {
"type" : "i_o_exception",
"reason" : "Exception when listing blobs by prefix [index-]",
"caused_by" : {
"type" : "sdk_client_exception",
"reason" : "Unable to execute HTTP request: my-first-bucket.s3",
"caused_by" : {
"type" : "unknown_host_exception",
"reason" : "my-first-bucket.s3"
}
}
}
},
"status" : 500
}
Any help please ?
Notice, i created s3_repository using the followig :
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/s3_repository?verify=false&pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"type": "s3",
"settings": {
"bucket": "my-first-bucket",
"endpoint": "http://s3:9000"
}
}'
Notice s3 in http://s3:9000 is the name of the service minio in my docker-compose.yml
Thank you in advance!

Most likely the problem here is that the bucket is not created at MinIO startup. The environment variable MINIO_DEFAULT_BUCKETS is not officially supported by MinIO at least. After MinIO starts, you can try to confirm if the bucket exists as expected.
As the bucket only needs to be created once, you could do it via a script after MinIO starts.
