Resolving Probe Failures for MinIO in Kubernetes with Traefik

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I deployed MinIO in standalone mode on Kubernetes using Traefik as a reverse proxy.

The pod description is as follows:

BASH

    Requests:

The MinIO helm values.yaml file is configured as below:

YAML
auth:
  existingSecret: "minio-root-user"
ingress:
  enabled: true
  ingressClassName: "traefik"
  hostname: "minio-ui.righive.local"
  annotations:
    traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.entrypoints: websecure
    traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.tls: "true"
apiIngress:
  enabled: true
  ingressClassName: "traefik"
  hostname: "minio.righive.local"
  annotations:
    traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.entrypoints: websecure
    traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.tls: "true"

extraEnvVars:
  - name: MINIO_LOG_LEVEL
    value: DEBUG
  - name: MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_CONFIG_URL
    value: "https://authentik.righive.local/application/o/minio/.well-known/openid-configuration"
  - name: MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_CLIENT_ID
    value: "xxxx"
  - name: MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_CLIENT_SECRET
    value: "yyyy"
  - name: MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_REDIRECT_URI
    value: "https://minio.righive.local/oauth_callback"
  - name: MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_SCOPES
    value: "openid,profile,email,minio"
  - name: MINIO_BROWSER_REDIRECT_URL
    value: "https://minio-ui.righive.local"
  - name: MINIO_SCHEME
    value: "https"
  - name: MINIO_SERVER_URL
    value: "https://minio.righive.local"

I created two ingresses: one for the API and another for the console. However, when accessing the console at <https://minio-ui.righive.local>, I get a "no available server" error.

What configuration adjustments are necessary to resolve the liveness and readiness probe failures and ensure proper routing of traffic to the MINIO pod?

It looks like Traefik isn’t routing any traffic to your MINIO pod because the pod isn’t passing its readiness probe. When a pod isn’t “ready,” Kubernetes won’t add it to the endpoints for its Service, which causes Traefik to return “no available server.” Here are some points to check and try:

Health Probe vs. MINIO Configuration:
Your pod is failing both the liveness and the readiness probes with connection refused on port 9000. Check whether MINIO is actually listening on port 9000 with the expected protocol. In your helm values you set several environment variables (e.g. MINIO_SCHEME set to "https"). If MINIO is now serving over HTTPS (or on a different port), the probes (which currently use HTTP on port 9000) will not succeed. Adjust the paths, schemes, or ports accordingly.
Adjusting Probe Definitions:
If MINIO is serving HTTPS, you may need to change your probe configuration. For example, you might need to update your readiness probe from an HTTP GET to use HTTPS, for instance:
```
YAML
readinessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /minio/health/ready
    port: 9000
    scheme: HTTPS
  initialDelaySeconds: 5
  timeoutSeconds: 1
  periodSeconds: 5
```
Ensure that the health endpoints (both for liveness and readiness) match what MINIO is expecting—some installations use different endpoints such as /minio/health/live for liveness and /minio/health/ready for readiness.
Check Service’s Target Port:
Since you’re using two ingresses for API and console, double-check that the Service used by the ingresses is pointing to the correct port. If the container is serving on a different port than expected, the Service may not register any ready endpoints.
Verify Hostnames and Ingress Rules:
Confirm that the ingress hostnames (minio-ui.righive.local for console and minio.righive.local for API) match what Traefik is routing to, and that there is no conflict in service ports. Sometimes a misconfiguration in your ingress annotations or hostname can cause the backend to be unreachable.
Logs and Further Troubleshooting:
Look at the MINIO container logs to see if it is receiving requests on the health endpoints or if there are error messages that could indicate misconfiguration with the port, scheme, or endpoint paths.

By ensuring that the MINIO service is correctly configured to expose its health endpoints on the expected protocol and port—and aligning the Kubernetes probes and Service accordingly—you should be able to have your pod transition to a “ready” state so Traefik has an available backend server for your console URL.

Once the pod is marked ready, the Service endpoints will be updated and Traefik should start routing traffic as expected.
