Prerequisites

Before enabling {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, make sure you have completed the following steps:

• Create your MinIO bucket for storing data generated by workflow runs. For more information about installing and configuring MinIO, see MinIO High Performance Object Storage and mc mb in the MinIO documentation.

  To avoid resource contention on the appliance, we recommend that MinIO be hosted separately from {% data variables.location.product_location %}.

Enabling {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} with MinIO storage

{% data reusables.enterprise_site_admin_settings.access-settings %} {% data reusables.enterprise_site_admin_settings.management-console %} {% data reusables.enterprise_management_console.actions %} {% data reusables.actions.enterprise-enable-checkbox %} {% data reusables.actions.enterprise-s3-storage-setup %}

1. Under "Authentication", select Credentials-based, and enter your storage bucket's details:

   For MinIO, you cannot use OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication. You must use credentials-based authentication.
