Exposing the MinIO service

To demonstrate or test the functioning of IBM® watsonx.data, use the embedded MinIO object store to load or store data. To expose the MinIO object store ports:

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the watsonx.data Control section on the IBM watsonx.data developer edition Installer page.
  2. Run the Expose MinIO step.
    This exposes the default MinIO object store port (9001), enabling seamless access to the embedded MinIO service for data operations. Alternatively, you can copy the command and run it directly in the terminal.
    Note: If the connection is lost, you can restore access by running the Expose MinIO command again from the installer.
  3. Connect to MinIO object store using the following credentials.
    • username: dummyvalue
    • password: dummyvalue
    • Ports: 9001
    Note: Use the MinIO S3 endpoint port with any S3 compatible tools or use the console port on a web browser to navigate to the MinIO web console. The default URL is http://<hostname>:<MinIO_console_port>
