What app is this about, and its version: Minio LATEST
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.1.36 (stable)
What type of hardware are you using: VPS bought online
Describe your issue
To explain briefly: I cannot access admin features.
Hello everyone,
I am running MinIO Community Edition on a YunoHost server, and I am having an issue with the Admin Console.
I can access the MinIO Console at port 9001, and I am able to log in successfully, but none of the admin features are visible.
For example, I cannot see:
Identity / Users
Service Accounts (Access Keys)
Policies
Configuration
Any administrator-related menus
Because of this, I am unable to generate Access Key / Secret Key for API usage.
What I have already tried
Accessing the console via http://localhost:9001
Logging in using MINIO_ROOT_USER and MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD
Ensuring the browser is enabled (MINIO_BROWSER=on)
Using a private/incognito browser window to avoid cache issues
Restarting the MinIO service multiple times
I am not using Docker. MinIO is running as a system service.
Current MinIO startup method
MinIO is started manually (or via system service) similar to:
minio server /data --console-address “:9001”
Environment variables are defined in an .env file, but I am not sure if YunoHost properly injects them into the MinIO process at runtime.
My questions
How can I verify that MinIO is actually running with root (admin) privileges?
Does MinIO read .env files automatically, or must the environment variables be exported by the system service?
If MinIO was first started without root credentials, is it necessary to delete the data directory and reinitialize the instance to enable admin features?
Is there a YunoHost-specific way to correctly pass MINIO_ROOT_USER and MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD to MinIO?
Expected behavior
After logging in as the root user, I expect to see the full admin console, including:
Identity → Service Accounts (Access Keys)
Policies
Configuration
However, the console currently looks like a limited or non-admin view.
Any guidance or confirmation from users who have successfully run MinIO on YunoHost would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
