FDB Backup, minio, and minio gateway (paid service)

[harikb (Hari B)]

Hi,

Is anyone in this using minio on Azure for fdb backups? If so, are you using standalone product or the managed/paid Minio gateway ?

How are you getting past this issue?

Update blob client to sign requests using S3 authentication version 4

As far as I know, minio has already switched to v4 and wouldn’t allow turning on v2 either (labeled insecure) Allow use of Signature v2 in S3 gateway configuration · Issue #7961 · minio/minio · GitHub

My repeated attempts end up with errors that look like

[RESOLVED?] Fdbbackup 'Platform error' on 'file_backup_write_range'

TL;DR fdbbackup seems to require permission for parent directory of a backup url. (e.g for file:///path/to/backup, permission of /path/to do matter) UPDATE: It seems that parent of parent directory affect the error. I’m trying to execute fdbbackup. Using the latest docker file of Simple Dockerfile. Start a server. $ docker run --init --rm --name=fdb-a -v fdb-a:/var/lib/foundationdb hiroshi3110/foundationdb:5.1.5-1_ubuntu-16.04 ./start.sh Configure new cluster. /etc/init.d/foundationdb: lin…

(No, I am not trying local filesystem unlike that thread)
and this error

"backup failure: Could not create backup container: Operation timed out" with version 6.3.9

I am using a Ubuntu 18.04 vm created by Vagrant and then deploying foundationdb-clients_6.3.9-1_amd64.deb and foundationdb-server_6.3.9-1_amd64.deb. I have not configured TLS on foundationdb. After deployment , I used fdbcli to enter a few key values This is the command I used for starting a backup: fdbbackup start -d blobstore://key:secret@s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/fb1?bucket=foundationdbbackups --log -t test1 console output: ERROR: Could not create backup container: Operation timed out …

Thanks
