Failed to parse server response: invalid character 'C' looking for beginning of value.

[FlaviuRadulescu]

Hello,

I have an instalation of minio on 443 with a bucket.subdomain.domain.tld and when I am trying to start the adminio-api, I get the error:

{"error":"Failed to parse server response: invalid character 'C' looking for beginning of value."}

Can you please help me investigate what is the problem?

Thank you, F

Hi, can you please provide how you run it?

• as binary file
• as docker
• in k8s

do you specify all environment variables? please note - you need an admin login and password to run adminio, not just any bucket key and secret.

Hey, i have similar problem: When trying to access any endpoint is get the message in the console and the api response:

Failed to parse server response: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value.

Behavior of all pages in adminio-ui:

• buckets: seems to work
• users: Just shows one entry named "error" and I can't create a new one
• policies: Just shows one entry named "error" and I can't create a new one
• groups: Shows the loading animation for all eternity
• server: Blank page

About my setup:

• adminio-ui and adminio-api run via docker
• I'm using the "latest" tag of both images

My docker-compose.yml (slightly censored)

version: '3'
services:
  adminio:
    image: rzrbld/adminio-ui:latest
    environment:
      API_BASE_URL: "http://localhost:8080"
      ADMINIO_MULTI_BACKEND: "false"
      NGX_ROOT_PATH: "/"
    ports:
      - "80:80"
  api:
    image: rzrbld/adminio-api:latest
    environment:
      MINIO_ACCESS: workingAdminAccess
      MINIO_SECRET: mySecretSecret
      MINIO_HOST_PORT: s3.my.domain
      ADMINIO_HOST_PORT: 0.0.0.0:8080
      MINIO_SSL: "true"
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"

Im happy to provide more information, if you need it. And thanks for developing this project, been looking for something like this :)

@Niggl1999 hi, thanks)

• what version of minio do you use?
• is "workingAdminAccess" and "mySecretSecret" - it is a admin credentials? or it's a custom user with kind of "diagnostics" policy?

actually minio team build up their own web ui - https://github.com/minio/console

[nicolaiort]

• I run Minio version "RELEASE.2019-10-12T01-39-57z" in a FreeNAS 11.3 jail, although this is gonna change in 1-2 weeks when I migrate my minio to a debian+docker based setup
• The credentials are admin credentials

The console project by minio themselves looks promising, but I'm still interested in running at least adminio-api in my test environment, i like it's simplicity and RESTfull approach.

@Niggl1999 thanks, i just checked and seems that version is not supported, i try to fix that in the next one - two days

[rzrbld]

@Niggl1999 since version of minio that you have is too old, modern minio libs don't support it. so you have two ways to solve that:

• if it possible - you can try to update minio, since than you be able to use latest adminio or minio console besides new minio features like: tags, quotas and new policies
• if you can't update you still able to use rzrbld/adminio-ui:release-0.63 and rzrbld/adminio-api:release-0.4 images with your current minio version

Thank you very much, then i'll give it another go in 1-2 weeks :)
