Keep CI running now that the MinIO images require a login

[mihow]

Summary

Backend Tests have been failing on every branch since about 2026-09-24, before any test runs. The MinIO images the test stack and the local dev stack use are no longer anonymously pullable: Docker Hub stopped serving minio/* earlier this month, and #1419's move to quay.io/minio/* now returns "unauthorized" as well. This PR switches both compose files to the Chainguard MinIO image, which is still public, and pins it by digest so it cannot change under us.

While testing the new image, the bucket setup script turned out to be broken in a way that hid itself: the newer mc no longer has mc config host add, and the script ignored errors and exited 0. Without buckets, the thumbnail and processing-service tests error later with no obvious cause. The script now uses mc alias set and stops on the first failure. This may also explain the 17 errors in #1435's run, which switched images without changing the script (not verified).

List of Changes

Change (effect)	How	Notes
1. Backend Tests can pull MinIO again	docker-compose.ci.yml and docker-compose.yml use cgr.dev/chainguard/minio:latest@sha256:6a1d…937b for both the server and the bucket setup container	This image includes the server, mc and a shell, so one image serves both. Its entrypoint is minio, so command drops the leading minio
2. Bucket setup works with current mc and exits non-zero on failure	compose/local/minio/init.sh: mc alias set instead of mc config host add; set -e	Run through /bin/sh explicitly
3. Existing local dev data keeps working	Dev minio service runs as user: root	The new image defaults to a non-root user, which cannot write to volumes created by the previous image (verified: the server refuses to start)
4. Local bucket setup no longer races the server	Dev minio-init waits for minio to be healthy	CI already did this
5. A failed bucket setup stops Backend Tests at that step	CI django depends on minio-init with condition: service_completed_successfully	Verified locally: with an invalid bucket name, compose run django aborts with service "minio-init" didn't complete successfully: exit 1 and the tests never start. Dev compose is unchanged

How to bump the pin

docker pull cgr.dev/chainguard/minio:latest
docker image inspect cgr.dev/chainguard/minio:latest --format '{{index .RepoDigests 0}}'

Replace the digest in both compose files (four places). The digest is the multi-arch index, so it works on amd64 and arm64. Chainguard only publishes latest publicly, so there is no version tag to pin to; the image at the time of this PR reports MinIO RELEASE.2026-09-22T19-25-18Z.

Testing

Measured locally with an isolated copy of the CI stack:

• minio-init creates both buckets and sets them public; exit code 0. Before the script fix it printed five errors and still exited 0.
• migrate succeeds and makemigrations --check --dry-run reports no changes.
• ami.main.tests.TestImageThumbnailViews and ami.ml.tests.TestPipelineWithProcessingService (the classes that need buckets): 36 tests, OK.
• Dev compose in a throwaway project: minio-init succeeds against a fresh volume.
• Upgrade path: a volume written by the old RELEASE.2024-11-07 server is readable and writable by the new image when run as root.

Not verified: the full test suite locally (left to CI on this PR), and running the dev stack on arm64.

Other PRs

#1272, #1437, #1438 and #1443 are red for this same reason. Once this merges they only need a merge of main; no other change. The PRs stacked on other branches (#1432, #1439, #1441 and #1442) do not run backend CI yet; they pick the fix up once main is merged into #1272 and down the stack. This PR overlaps with #1435, which takes a different image; happy to close whichever one the team prefers.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Updated local and CI object-storage services to use a consistent MinIO image and startup configuration.
  • Local startup now waits for required services to be ready before initializing storage.
  • Storage initialization now stops and reports an error if a setup command fails. Bucket creation and public-read configuration remain in place.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI and development Compose files now use a digest-pinned Chainguard MinIO image. Their initializer services use that image to run the initialization script. The script configures the local alias, creates two buckets, sets public access, and exits when a command fails.

Changes

MinIO setup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
MinIO image and server command docker-compose.ci.yml, docker-compose.yml	Both MinIO services use a digest-pinned Chainguard image and the server command. The development service sets user: root.
Initializer container and bucket setup compose/local/minio/init.sh, docker-compose.ci.yml, docker-compose.yml	The initializer services use the MinIO image and run the script through /bin/sh. The development initializer waits for MinIO to become healthy and for minio-proxy to start. The script sets the local alias, creates both buckets with --ignore-existing, sets public access, and exits on command failure.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e8a4a

On a fresh development stack, MinIO may never become healthy, so bucket setup cannot start. Fix the healthcheck before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e8a4a

The image is pinned and the existing credentials and bucket policies are retained. The main risk is that development startup may wait on a healthcheck that cannot succeed before initialization runs. There is no verified new security exposure, but this startup path needs validation.

Retained concerns

• Medium · reliability · inferred: The development initializer now waits for a healthcheck using the local client alias, but the repository creates that alias only inside the initializer, in a separate container. Unless the new image independently provides the alias to the server container, initialization cannot begin; bucket creation and public-policy application remain blocked. The healthcheck itself predates this PR, but making it a development startup prerequisite is new.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The affected storage state is confined by these configurations to the separate CI and development MinIO volumes. The development stack’s existing host-bound ports remain a possible access path wherever that stack is run on a reachable host; no production deployment change is established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The initializer authenticates to the internal MinIO endpoint with root credentials before applying the existing public-access policies. The new development health gate runs in the server container before that separate authentication and alias-creation step.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Fail-fast execution can expose provisioning failures in the initializer container, but applications are not gated on successful policy provisioning. That control gap predates the PR and should not be mistaken for a newly introduced dependency.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make server readiness independent of initializer-local client configuration, or explicitly provide the healthcheck container with a valid endpoint and alias. Separately, gate storage consumers on successful completion of bucket and policy provisioning.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Initialize the local alias before running the MinIO healthcheck.

mc ready local requires the local alias. The development environment defines MINIO_ENDPOINT, but not MC_HOST_local. The only mc alias set local call runs in minio-init, which has a separate client configuration from minio. Since minio-init waits for minio to become healthy, the healthcheck can remain unhealthy and bucket creation can never start.

Claude says: On CodeRabbit's outside-diff note about docker-compose.yml lines 145-158 (initialize the local alias before mc ready local): no change needed. The mc client in this image ships a default local alias pointing at http://localhost:9000, and mc ready only calls the unauthenticated health endpoint. Checked in a fresh container of the pinned digest with no alias setup:

$ mc ready local
The cluster 'local' is ready
$ mc alias list local
local
  URL       : http://localhost:9000

The green CI run on this branch also depends on that healthcheck passing, since minio-init waits for service_healthy.

[mihow]

Claude says: Closing as superseded by #1435, which now carries the same changes (MinIO images pinned by digest from a publicly pullable registry, the bucket setup script fixes, and local Django waiting for bucket setup to succeed). Its Backend Tests check is green, so #1435 is the one to merge. A follow-up issue tracks owning the test image ourselves so CI stops depending on third-party MinIO registries.
