I have a minio server running on debian using SystemD and proxied with NGINX and secured with Let's Encrypt. In the docs it suggests the service is comparable to Amazon S3 but I can't figure out how to actually use the service.

It looks like in order to create a bucket or use the minio cli mc there needs to be a registered TARGET along with accessKey and secretKey. I can't find anywhere on the server where that information is available and it's not clear to me how to create a new target.
Here is the /etc/default/minio file:
MINIO_VOLUMES="/usr/local/share/minio"
MINIO_OPTS="-C /etc/minio --address :9000"
There are no files in /etc/minio.
It's running and set up, but how can I start actually using the minio server?
Edit: Config JSON
I tried creating a new config file and entering new accessKey and secretKey in the credential field. I was not able to sign in to the Minio Browser app using the same keys.
Edit: Key Files
I tried entering a new access key and secret key into the files /etc/minio/access_key and /etc/minio/secret_key and adding the following lines to the /etc/default/minio environment file:
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_FILE="/etc/minio/access_key"
MINIO_SECRET_KEY_FILE="/etc/minio/secret_key"
I restarted the service systemctl restart minio but I still can't log into the Minio Browser app.
It only worked to provide MINIO_ACCESS_KEY and MINIO_SECRET_KEY into /etc/default/minio environment file. Every other method failed.
I used the following to generate a secret key that resemble AWS access keys in the example. In the CLI help text it looks like access key and secret key would work however.
