⁠Minio Quickstart Guide

⁠OpsMx Minio

1. Create secrets yaml with minio_secrets.sh
2. Deploy minio with oc create -f minio.yml

Minio is an object storage server released under Apache License v2.0. It is compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. It is best suited for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups and container / VM images. Size of an object can range from a few KBs to a maximum of 5TB.

Minio server is light enough to be bundled with the application stack, similar to NodeJS, Redis and MySQL.

⁠Docker Container

⁠Install from Source

Source installation is only intended for developers and advanced users. If you do not have a working Golang environment, please follow How to install Golang⁠.

go get -u github.com/minio/minio

⁠Allow port access for Firewalls

By default Minio uses the port 9000 to listen for incoming connections. If your platform blocks the port by default, you may need to enable access to the port.

⁠iptables

For hosts with iptables enabled (RHEL, CentOS, etc), you can use iptables command to enable all traffic coming to specific ports. Use below command to allow access to port 9000

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT
service iptables restart

Below command enables all incoming traffic to ports ranging from 9000 to 9010.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9000:9010 -j ACCEPT
service iptables restart

⁠ufw

For hosts with ufw enabled (Debian based distros), you can use ufw command to allow traffic to specific ports. Use below command to allow access to port 9000

ufw allow 9000

Below command enables all incoming traffic to ports ranging from 9000 to 9010.

ufw allow 9000:9010/tcp

⁠firewall-cmd

For hosts with firewall-cmd enabled (CentOS), you can use firewall-cmd command to allow traffic to specific ports. Use below commands to allow access to port 9000

firewall-cmd --get-active-zones

This command gets the active zone(s). Now, apply port rules to the relevant zones returned above. For example if the zone is public, use

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9000/tcp --permanent

Note that permanent makes sure the rules are persistent across firewall start, restart or reload. Finally reload the firewall for changes to take effect.

firewall-cmd --reload

⁠Test using Minio Browser

Minio Server comes with an embedded web based object browser. Point your web browser to http://127.0.0.1:9000⁠ ensure your server has started successfully.

⁠Test using Minio Client mc

mc provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands like ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff etc. It supports filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage services. Follow the Minio Client Quickstart Guide⁠ for further instructions.

⁠Pre-existing data

When deployed on a single drive, Minio server lets clients access any pre-existing data in the data directory. For example, if Minio is started with the command minio server /mnt/data, any pre-existing data in the /mnt/data directory would be accessible to the clients.

The above statement is also valid for all gateway backends.
