Overview
This node interacts with buckets in a storage system compatible with the MinIO API. The default operation on the "Bucket" resource allows users to specify a particular bucket by name and perform actions related to it (though the exact actions are not detailed here, the node is designed to work with buckets for storage management). This node is beneficial when automating workflows that involve managing or accessing data stored in buckets, such as retrieving files, uploading data, or organizing storage.
Practical examples include:
- Accessing a specific bucket to list or manipulate its contents.
- Automating backup processes by targeting a designated bucket.
- Integrating with cloud storage solutions that use the MinIO protocol.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Name | Name of the bucket to operate on. Can be selected from a list of existing buckets or specified by ID. |
The "Bucket Name" property supports two modes:
- From List: Select a bucket from a dynamically retrieved list of all available buckets.
- ID: Manually enter the bucket name as a string.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of operations performed on the specified bucket. The exact structure depends on the executed action but generally includes details about the bucket or its contents.
If the node handles binary data (e.g., files within the bucket), the output will include binary fields representing that data, allowing further processing or download within n8n workflows.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to a MinIO-compatible storage service.
- Needs appropriate credentials (such as an API key or access token) configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- The node relies on internal methods for listing buckets and executing operations, which interact with the MinIO API.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Incorrect bucket name or ID may cause errors indicating the bucket does not exist.
- Authentication failures if credentials are missing or invalid.
- Network connectivity issues preventing access to the storage service.
Error Messages:
- "Bucket not found": Verify the bucket name or select it from the provided list.
- "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions.
- Timeout or network errors: Ensure the storage service endpoint is reachable from the n8n instance.
