How to use AWS SDK for Ruby with MinIO Server

aws-sdk is the official AWS SDK for the Ruby programming language. In this recipe we will learn how to use aws-sdk for Ruby with MinIO server.

1. Prerequisites

Install MinIO Server from here.

2. Installation

Install aws-sdk for Ruby from the official AWS Ruby SDK docs here

3. Example

Please replace endpoint,access_key_id, secret_access_key, Bucket and Object with your local setup in this example.rb file.

Example below shows put_object() and get_object() operations on MinIO server using aws-sdk Ruby.

require 'aws-sdk'

Aws.config.update(
        endpoint: 'http://localhost:9000',
        access_key_id: 'YOUR-ACCESSKEYID',
        secret_access_key: 'YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY',
        force_path_style: true,
        region: 'us-east-1'
)

rubys3_client = Aws::S3::Client.new

# put_object operation

rubys3_client.put_object(
        key: 'testobject',
        body: 'Hello from MinIO!!',
        bucket: 'testbucket',
        content_type: 'text/plain'
)

# get_object operation

rubys3_client.get_object(
         bucket: 'testbucket',
         key: 'testobject',
         response_target: 'download_testobject'
)

print "Downloaded 'testobject' as  'download_testobject'. "

4. Run the Program

ruby example.rb
Downloaded 'testobject' as  'download_testobject'.

5. Don't forget to run the minio server

(Review the documentation for specifics)

e.g.

./minio server /data
