Through my experience with PHP, I have found that files are a very important part of the web. But in the past months I found myself working on a project that required me to store files.
PHP has a very robust filesystem that makes it easy to deal with any type of files.
Amazon's S3 bucket was the first choice because it's filesystem is supported by PHP, but it was not an option because of the cost.
In your config/filesystems.php file, add the following configuration in the disks array: 'minio' => [ 'driver' => 's3', 'endpoint' => env('MINIO_ENDPOINT', 'http://127.0.0.1:9000'), 'use_path_style_endpoint' => true, 'key' => env('MINIO_KEY'), 'secret' => env('MINIO_SECRET'), 'region' => env('MINIO_REGION'), ], You can now store files on MinIO by using the minio disk.
