# MinIO

From ArchWiki

MinIO offers high-performance, S3 compatible object storage.

## Installation

Install the minioAUR package. The minio-client is optional.

## Configuration

The configuration file is located in `/etc/minio/minio.conf`.

### Credentials

Uncomment `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD` and set them to a value of your choice.

Warning If `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD` are not modified, the default login/password (ACCESSKEY/SECRETKEY) will be `minioadmin/minioadmin`.

### Single server with 1 disk

The default configuration will start a single server with a single disk. MinIO objects will be stored in `/srv/minio/data`. Change the value of `MINIO_VOLUMES` to update the path.

`MINIO_OPTS` might contains extra parameters that will be given to the MinIO server when started.

Start MinIO by starting `minio.service`. Check that MinIO has been started by checking the service's unit status; example output is as follows:

    minio[1234]: You are running an older version of MinIO released 1 month ago
    minio[1234]: Update: Run `mc admin update`
    minio[1234]: API: http://192.168.0.1:9000  http://127.0.0.1:9000
    minio[1234]: Console: http://192.168.0.1:43831 http://127.0.0.1:43831
    minio[1234]: Documentation: https://docs.min.io
    minio[1234]: WARNING: Console endpoint is listening on a dynamic port (43831), please use --console-address ":PORT" to choose a static port.
    minio[1234]: WARNING: Detected default credentials 'minioadmin:minioadmin', we recommend that you change these values with 'MINIO_ROOT_USER' and 'MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD' environment variables

Note To prevent MinIO from listening on every interface, add `--address 192.168.0.1:9123` to `MINIO_OPTS` to set the IP address and the port MinIO has to use.

### Single server with 4 disks

Edit `etc/minio/minio.conf`:

    MINIO_VOLUMES="/srv/minio/data{0...3}"

or

    MNIO_VOLUMES="/srv/minio/foobar /srv/minio/barfoo /srv/minio/faabor /srv/minio/borfaa"

Start `minio.service`. Verify that MinIO is running by checking its unit status; example output is as follows:
