PD MinIO S3 lets you offer MinIO buckets through WHMCS, using your MinIO server. It suits S3-compatible storage on infrastructure you operate, with the resource linked to the customer’s service.

Before you start

Install PD Modules for WHMCS first, connect the account that holds your licence, then install PD MinIO S3 from its Store. Allow the administrator role that needs to use it.

You also need a prepared MinIO server and credentials authorised for bucket and customer-access management. Check the provider account’s permissions, available locations and capacity before enabling automatic provisioning.

Connect the account

Add the provider connection under System Settings → Servers, selecting this module for the server record. Assign the appropriate server group to the product. Keep provider credentials on the connection, separate from the product’s resource defaults.

Define what the customer receives

Create a product using PD MinIO S3 and review its Module Settings and configurable options. Start with Storage Quota, Max Buckets and Versioning. Together these describe the resource requested when a service is provisioned; they are not just labels on the order form.

Review hard and soft quota behaviour for your MinIO setup before offering a storage limit. A reporting limit and an enforced upload limit are different.

Choose which client controls the product exposes. If you offer configurable options, check that their values match the module’s supported choices and that the defaults describe the service you intend to sell.

Put the service into use

Set the product’s automatic-setup behaviour deliberately. If you want provisioning after payment, select that option rather than leaving setup manual. Keep the normal cron running for subsequent status and usage updates.

Check the first service

Review the bucket or container, endpoint, access details and recorded usage. Use an authorised small test file to check the customer connection before offering the service more widely.

Creating a real service creates provider resources and can incur provider charges. Review the configuration first; use your normal controlled test process for the first provisioning rather than making an order solely to browse the settings.
