minio


Solution 1:[1]

It is not possible to rename buckets: you have to create a new bucket with the desired name, copy over your data mc cp -r minio/oldbucket minio/newbucket and delete the old bucket.

Solution 2:[2]

IF:

  • you are running a single instance minio
  • you have access to the minio volume directly

Then, yes, it is simply possible by renaming the directory directly.

mv old-bucket.mydomain.example new-bucket.mydomain.example

Explanation

Let's assume minio data is stored in /data/, and we have a bucket called old-bucket.mydomain.example. Then the bucket is stored under /data/old-bucket.mydomain.example directory. Therefore, we can simply rename the directory and it would work!
