Budibase uses a MinIO object store, to store:

You have full access to MinIO, via the official client. Before you access the MinIO client, follow these steps:

Enable MinIO browsing. Your docker-compose.yaml should contain a setting called MINIO_BROWSER - make sure its value is on.
If you made a change to your docker-compose.yaml, you will need to save the file and restart your cluster.
Now, find your access key and secret. Your .env file should contain these values: MINIO_ACCESS_KEY, and MINIO_SECRET_KEY.
You will also need to port forward. Your .env file should contain the value: MINIO_PORT.

Example config

minio-service:
	ports:
  		- "${MINIO_PORT}:9000"
  		- "9001:9001"
	environment:
  		MINIO_ROOT_USER: ${MINIO_ACCESS_KEY}
    	MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MINIO_SECRET_KEY}
    	MINIO_BROWSER: "on"

Now you should be able to access MinIO via the URL:
