MinIO AWS Region Error When Connecting via NocoDB UI (v0.258.11)

devika · July 7, 2025, 2:56pm

Hi Team,

I am trying to configure MinIO as an S3-compatible storage backend for NocoDB (version 0.258.11). MinIO is accessible from the pod, and connections are working when tested directly. However, when I try to perform operations through the NocoDB UI, I receive an error related to the AWS region.

Details:

MinIO endpoint is accessible from within the pod.
S3 connection tests (e.g., using mc `) are successful.
The error only appears when using the NocoDB UI.
My configuration in values.yaml is as follows:
- NC_S3_ENDPOINT: "https://minio.qainfra.vite"
- NC_S3_BUCKET: "nocodb"
- NC_S3_ACCESS_KEY and NC_S3_ACCESS_SECRET are set correctly.
- NC_S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE: "true"
- NC_S3_SSL: "true"

Questions / Request for Help:

Is there a specific AWS region value required for MinIO integration with NocoDB?
Are there any additional environment variables or configuration options I should set for MinIO compatibility?
Has anyone faced a similar issue or have suggestions for troubleshooting this error?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
