'mc admin user' command not working

[honnorat]

Hi,

I do not manage to create / list users using 'mc admin user' command and my docker minio-multiarch installation.

I have setup the minio store using docker-compose:

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.7'
services:
  store:
    container_name: store
    image: jessestuart/minio:RELEASE.2019-10-12T01-39-57Z-arm64
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./minio-data
        target: /data
    ports:
      - 9000:9000
    env_file:
      - minio.env
    command: server /data

Accessing the store using mc ls or via the web interface works as expected.

However, when I want to use 'admin user' mc subcommand, I get the following error message:

$ mc admin user list store
mc: <ERROR> Cannot list user: sio: unsupported version.
$ mc admin user list --json store
{
 "status": "error",
 "error": {
  "message": "Cannot list user",
  "cause": {
   "message": "sio: unsupported version",
   "error": {}
  },
  "type": "fatal",
  "sysinfo": {
   "host.arch": "arm64",
   "host.cpus": "4",
   "host.lang": "go1.13.1",
   "host.name": "8206820f6f3d",
   "host.os": "linux",
   "mem.heap.total": "134 MB",
   "mem.heap.used": "68 MB",
   "mem.total": "142 MB",
   "mem.used": "68 MB"
  }
 }
}

What's wrong ? No problem with minio/minio image.

Hmm I've never actually used that command myself, so I'm afraid I can't specifically on your error... And since it doesn't seem to relate specifically to an architectural/platform issue, maybe filing an issue w/ @minio/mc would point you in the right direction. Plus there's always the slack group — minio.slack.com (5,000+ members and growing!) if you need some help.

That being said, you have me intrigued so I figured I'd poke around a bit...

Turns out sio is another MinIO project:

Go implementation of the Data At Rest Encryption (DARE) format. [...] This project specifies a format for en/decrypting an arbitrary data stream and gives some recommendations about how to use and implement data at rest encryption (DARE). Additionally this project provides a reference implementation in Go.

I checked, and neither the minio/minio:edge nor minio/mc:edge have the sio and ncrypt binaries included as binary, so at this point I'm leaning towards marking this a won't fix, since it seems clear that the mc admin is a sign or MinIO's growing up in the world of cloud storage and are beyond the scope of the resources I have to maintain this and (@jessestuart/minio-multiarch much beyond ensure current parity — which, I'll add, still work great on projects from playing around with a single node, to running a multi-node cluster on kubernetes with distributed striping :D

That being said — thanks for the inquiry — and let me know if you come up with something else 👍 In fact, maybe we could push to have these (relatively minor) changes upstreamed? Seems that could make everyone happy.
