minio local dashboard is not opening

Question

I have installed minio in docker. It installed successfully and below are logs of the minio server:

I think all is well but when I invoke localhost:9000 url in browser it redirects to localhost:40793 with error message site can't be reached.

I don't know the issue. Can anyone help ? Thanks in advance.

how did you install minio in docker? Did you follow the official doc? – Shed

Do you have port 9000 exposed from the docker container? Can you share the docker command you used? – Pharyngology

@Shed yes , I did follow the official doc – Biosphere

@wedm docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio -d -v ~/minio/data:/data -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER={ACCESS_KEY}" -e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD={ACCESS_SECRET}" minio/minio server /data – Biosphere

Addressing the warning about the dynamic port worked for me. I think the issue is that minio serves the API on port 9000, but tries to redirect you to the console when that address visited in the browser (e.g. localhost:9000). The console is on a dynamic port that isn't exposed by docker.

Instead, we can specify the console port using the --console-address flag and expose it in the docker command. This worked for me:

docker run -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 --name minio -d -v ~/minio/data:/data -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER={ACCESS_KEY}" -e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD={ACCESS_SECRET}" minio/minio server --console-address :9001 /data

I was then able to visit the console at localhost:9001 (although visiting localhost:9000 also redirected me there).

For usage with Docker Compose: command: minio server --console-address ":9001" /data – Dirtcheap

Yes but how is --console-address declared in docker-compose.yml – Homonym

There's a command to start the minio server either in the docker-compose, or in the Dockerfile that builds minio. Just need to add this flag to it and then add "9001:9001" to your port mappings – Ventilation

@Homonym command: ["server", "--console-address", ":9001", "/data"] – Frecklefaced
