How to save file from POST request in flask to localy-running Minio server?

Question

I'm trying to save file to bucket:

if file and allowed_file(file.filename):
    filename = secure_filename(file.filename)
    try:
        minioClient.make_bucket("testbuck", location = "us-east-1")
    except BucketAlreadyOwnedByYou as err:
        pass
    except BucketAlreadyExists as err:
        pass
    except ResponseError as err:
        raise
    else:
        try:
            print(filename)
            minioClient.fput_object('testbuck', filename, image)
        except ResponseError as err:
            print(err)

But get errors: Message: {0}'.format(error.message)) InvalidXMLError: InvalidXMLError: message: "Error" XML is not parsable. Message: syntax error: line 1, column 0 Message: {0}'.format(error.message)) InvalidXMLError: InvalidXMLError: message: "Error" XML is not parsable. Message: syntax error: line 1, column 0

I'm newby in backend and flask and can't figure out what I am doing wrong! Thank for you patience

The pymino's minioClient.fput_object() method expects existing bucket name, object name to be kept and filepath of the file to be uploaded.

Usage :
minioClient.fput_object( bucket_name, object_name, filepath)

Add the following in the beginning Replace image with the filepath.

UPLOAD_FOLDER = '/path/to/the/uploads'
app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'] = UPLOAD_FOLDER`

Add the following before making fput_object function:

filename = secure_filename(file.filename)
filepath = os.path.join(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], filename)

Example:
minioClient.fput_object( "testbuck", filename, filepath)
