Cannot open Minio in browser after dockerizing it in Spring Boot App - spring-boot

Question

I have a problem in opening minio in the browser. I just created Spring Boot app with the usage of it.
Here is my application.yaml file shown below.
server:
port: 8085
spring:
application:
name: springboot-minio
minio:
endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:9000
port: 9000
accessKey: minioadmin #Login Account
secretKey: minioadmin # Login Password
secure: false
bucket-name: commons # Bucket Name
image-size: 10485760 # Maximum size of picture file
file-size: 1073741824 # Maximum file size
Here is my docker-compose.yaml file shown below.
version: '3.8'
services:
minio:
image: minio/minio:latest
container_name: minio
environment:
MINIO_ROOT_USER: "minioadmin"
MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: "minioadmin"
volumes:
- ./data:/data
ports:
- 9000:9000
- 9001:9001
I run it by these commands shown below.
1 ) docker-compose up -d
2 ) docker ps -a
3 ) docker run minio/minio:latest
Here is the result shown below.
C:\Users\host\IdeaProjects\SpringBootMinio>docker run minio/minio:latest

When I write 127.0.0.1:9000 in the browser, I couldn't open the MinIo login page.
How can I fix my issue?

The MinIO documentation includes a MinIO Docker Quickstart Guide that has some recipes for starting the container. The important thing here is that you cannot just docker run minio/minio; it needs a command to run, probably server. This also needs to be translated into your Compose setup.
The first example on that page breaks down like so:
docker run \
-p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 \ # publish ports
-e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=..." \ # set environment variables
-e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=..." \
quay.io/minio/minio \ # image name
server /data --console-address ":9001" # command to run
That final command is important. In your example where you just docker run the image and get a help message, it's because you omitted the command. In the Compose setup you also don't have a command: line; if you look at docker-compose ps I expect you'll see the container is exited, and docker-compose logs minio will probably show the same help message.
You can include that command in your Compose setup with command::
version: '3.8'
services:
minio:
image: minio/minio:latest
environment:
MINIO_ROOT_USER: "..."
MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: "..."
volumes:
- ./data:/data
ports:
- 9000:9000
- 9001:9001
command: server /data --console-address :9001 # <-- add this
