Intro to Minio S3 Object Storage

 


Minio  S3 object storage is powerful and easily run in a Docker, LXD, Podman or other container environment. Super easy to setup, super easy to understand, and the latest console has a ton of features to improve the intuitiveness of the platform. 

The command run in the video is the same as in the previous blog:

sudo docker run -it --name=miniotest -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"

To map a volume to the container one can create a directory on the local machine and add the -v <localvolume>:/data to the above command. That should help keep the buckets and related files available if the container is ever removed.

Example below from the container created in this test.
