## Why
`minio/minio:RELEASE.2025-07-23T15-54-02Z` no longer exists. The Docker Hub repository
`minio/minio` returns **404 for every tag** (checked: the pinned tag and `latest`), and
MinIO has moved its images behind registry authentication (`quay.io/minio/minio` → 401,
`registry.min.io/minio/minio` → auth required, `dl.min.io` binaries → 410 Gone).
The tenant therefore sat in `ImagePullBackOff` — 44,229 attempts over 6d23h — and the chain
from there is:
```
minio tenant pod not ready (1/2)
-> headless Service minio-cluster-hl has no endpoints
-> CoreDNS: lookup minio-cluster-hl.storage.svc.cluster.local -> no such host
-> Vault S3 storage init fails at startup
-> vault-0 CrashLoopBackOff, 1943 restarts, ~7 days
```
## Control checks (so this is not a network story)
| check | result |
| --- | --- |
| `alpine:3.20` pulled on talos-cp-1 | Succeeded — docker.io works |
| `quay.io/prometheus/node-exporter:v1.8.2` on the same node | Succeeded — public quay works |
| `minio/minio` (docker.io) | HTTP 404, repo removed |
| old tag `RELEASE.2024-06-13T20-48-48Z` with `IfNotPresent` | not cached on the node |
## Change
Pin `spec.image` to `coollabsio/minio:RELEASE.2025-10-15T17-29-55Z` — a public mirror, and a
newer upstream release than the previous pin. Verified by pulling it on talos-cp-1 and
running it: the image carries `/usr/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh` (the layout the operator
expects, which runs `minio server … --console-address :9090`) and reports
`minio version RELEASE.2025-10-15T17-29-55Z`.
## Caveat
This is a community mirror, not MinIO's official image, because the official ones now
require credentials. If MinIO registry credentials are available, add an imagePullSecret
and switch back to `quay.io/minio/minio`. Supply-chain decision, flagged deliberately.
## After merge (ArgoCD, not kubectl)
The storage app tracks `k8s/infra/minio`, so the sync rolls the tenant; then:
```
kubectl get pods -n storage # minio-cluster-az-a-0 -> 2/2
kubectl get pods -n iam | grep vault # vault-0 -> Running (storage init succeeds)
```
Residual risk, unrelated to this fix: the tenant's 4 x 25Gi volumes are Longhorn-backed, and
Longhorn currently fails to create engines for new volume attaches cluster-wide. If the
restarted pod cannot attach, that is a second, separate fault.Reviewed-on: #53

- Add MINIO_BROWSER_REDIRECT_URL pointing to public URL
- Add MINIO_BROWSER_LOGIN_ANIMATION=off
- Enables Console to show OIDC/Authentik SSO button on login page
- Change MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_CLAIM_NAME from 'policy' to 'groups'
- Add MINIO_IDENTITY_OPENID_CLAIM_PREFIX (empty) to use raw group names
- Update scopes to 'openid,profile,email,groups'
- Enables Authentik group-based access (homelab-admins, minio-admins, etc)
- Users in homelab-admins group will get admin access to MinIO
MinIO pod was getting 503 from public URL at startup. Use in-cluster
authentik-server.iam.svc for metadata fetch; browser redirects still
use public URLs from OIDC metadata response.
Fixes controlplane.tftpl's install.wipe:true (should be false, live CPs already run false) and syncs coredns Corefile back to what's actually deployed (drops an unrolled-out, stale Kong-era rewrite).
