# System Plugins

## MinIO/S3

Appmixer 5.1 and higher contains a MinIO plugin. If this plugin is turned on, Appmixer will store all user files (files created either through Appmixer flows or through the [/files](/6.0/5.2/api/files.md) API) in the MinIO/S3 server.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The plugin cannot migrate existing files from MongoDB to MinIO. It has to be turned on when Appmixer is installed before the files are created. If you already have files in MongoDB and want to start using MinIO, you have to migrate the data.
{% endhint %}

How to turn the plugin on. Add `minio` to the SYSTEM\_PLUGINS (comma-separated list of plugins) ENV variable (these cannot be set through the Backoffice):

```sh
# Turning on the plugin
SYSTEM_PLUGINS=minio

# Required variables
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=admin
MINIO_SECRET_KEY=secretKey
MINIO_ENDPOINT=192.168.1.8   # s3.amazonaws.com to connect to AWS S3

# Optional variables
# Default value set to 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS.
MINIO_PORT=9000
# Set this value to 'true' to enable secure (HTTPS) access
MINIO_USE_SSL=true
MINIO_REGION=eu-central-1
# All files will be stored by default in the 'appmixer-files' bucket
MINIO_BUCKET_NAME=appmixer-files  
```

If you want to use the S3, the S3 user has to have these permissions:

```json
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
                "s3:ListBucketVersions",
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
                "s3:DeleteObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::appmixer-files/*",
                "arn:aws:s3:::appmixer-files"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```
