Hi all, I am trying to setup elastic search (5.6.x) using S3 compatible storage such as minio as the backend. I am following the steps mentioned at below link: > I am unable to create the repository (Step-6). {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"repository\_exception","reason":"[my\_minio\_repository] repository type [s3] does not exist"}],"type":"repository\_exception","reason":"[my\_minio\_repository] repository type [s3] does not exist"},"status":500} curl -X POST "localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_minio\_repository" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "type": "s3", "settings": {"bucket": "elasticsearch", "endpoint": "[http://127.0.0.1:9000](http://127.0.0.1:9000)", "protocol": "http", "region": "us-east-1","access\_key": "","secret\_key": ""}}' Could you please help in this regard? Regards Pradeep ---
