Minio NATS Demo

Use Minio to notify of changes through NATS and sync changes between two clouds (or a laptop and a cloud).

Overview

Minio makes it easy to manage an object store with an S3 interface across multiple different platforms, from your local desktop to other clouds beyond AWS.

This demonstration will show you how to run a Minio object store on a local laptop, configure a local NATS message bus and finally replicate objects to other clouds.

Tutorial

Install and run gnatsd

go get github.com/nats-io/gnatsd; gnatsd -D -V

Install minio
```
go get minio
```

Configure minio for local NATS event subscription

edit ~/.minio/config.json

set "nats"."1"."enable": true

...
"nats": {
    "1": {
        "enable": true,
        "address": "0.0.0.0:4222",
        "subject": "bucketevents",
...

Run minio

Set ~/minio-tmp/ to any directory you want to store your objects in.
```
minio server ~/minio-tmp/
```

Run minioNATS

go run minionats/main.go -remote s3://accessKeyId:accessSecretKey@host:port -local s3://accessKeyId:accessSecretKey@host:port

Open Browsers to your test bucket Minio Browser and an S3 Browser
Upload a File to your Minio Browser. Watch it automatically get added to your S3 browser
Delete a File from your Minio Browser. Watch it automatically get removed from your S3 Browser
