puq-docker-minio-deploy - N8N Workflow Directory

Target Audience

This workflow is designed for:
- Developers looking to automate deployment processes for MinIO in a Docker environment.
- System Administrators who manage server infrastructures and need to streamline the management of containerized applications.
- DevOps Engineers aiming to integrate webhook triggers into their CI/CD pipelines for efficient application deployment and management.
- Businesses using WHMCS or WISECP that require a reliable backend API for their operations.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenges of:
- Manual Deployment: Automates the deployment of MinIO containers, reducing the risk of human error and saving time.
- Configuration Management: Simplifies the management of configuration files and environment variables needed for MinIO to operate correctly.
- Monitoring and Logging: Provides mechanisms for retrieving logs and monitoring the status of MinIO containers, ensuring better oversight and troubleshooting capabilities.
- Dynamic Scaling: Facilitates the creation and management of container instances based on user commands, allowing for flexible resource allocation.

Workflow Steps

Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts when a webhook is triggered, receiving a payload with commands and parameters.
2. Parameter Setup: Sets essential parameters like server_domain, clients_dir, and mount_dir for the deployment.
3. Validation: Checks if the provided server domain is valid, responding with a 422 error if it's not.
4. Command Routing: Uses conditional logic to route commands for actions like starting, stopping, or inspecting containers based on user input.
5. SSH Commands Execution: Executes SSH commands on the server to perform actions like deploying containers, retrieving logs, and managing network settings.
6. Response Handling: After executing commands, it formats and returns the response in JSON format, providing status updates and error messages as needed.
7. Custom Actions: Includes additional functionalities for managing ACLs, network statistics, and user management within the MinIO environment.

Customization Guide

Users can customize this workflow by:
- Modifying Parameters: Update the server_domain, clients_dir, and mount_dir in the Parameters node to fit their server configuration.
- Adjusting Commands: Change the commands in the Container Actions and Service Actions nodes to fit their specific deployment strategies or requirements.
- Adding New Commands: Introduce additional commands to the API node to expand functionality, such as adding new operations or integrations.
- Customizing Responses: Modify the response formats in the API answer node to include additional information or change the structure of the returned data.
- Integrating with Other Services: Connect additional nodes for other services or APIs to enhance the workflow's capabilities further.
