How would I set size limits to buckets on minio?

Question

I'm using minio on a VPS to host an S3 server. I'm making a cloud storage website as a personal project. I want every user to have a set amount of space, each user would have their own bucket. I already have most of the stuff set up, all I need is for the user to get a warning if their upload is over the capacity limit and cancel the file transfer.

You can set bucket quotas with the MinIO Client through mc admin bucket quota, for example mc admin bucket quota myminio/mybucket --hard 100GB.

Note that quotas are lazily enforced, meaning it is possible for a period to go over quota.
