MinIO

Installing MinIO on SME

Just some notes on the basics of installing MinIO

It works, but needs a startup script to automate start/stop

This could be used with your own instance of say [RClone](https://wiki.contribs.org/Rclone)

Install Minio on SME v9

"In this example, we’ll install Minio to /opt/minio, and [won't] configure it to run as a (systemd) service."

Add a minio user [This is not the standard SME way but just for testing]

useradd -s /sbin/nologin -d /opt/minio minio

Set up directories

mkdir -p /opt/minio/bin
mkdir /opt/minio/data # this will be your data partition	

Install minio server binary and set it to executable. In this example we use the Linux x64 binary.

wget https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio -O /opt/minio/bin/minio
chmod +x /opt/minio/bin/minio

Ensure all files are owned by minio in /opt/minio:

chown -R minio:minio /opt/minio

Start MinIO

Start it manually so you can get the Keys that you will require.

This will start on all interfaces:

/opt/minio/bin/minio server /opt/minio/data

This will limit it to one interface:

/opt/minio/bin/minio server --address 1.2.3.4:9000 /opt/minio/data

Once you have the keys you can then follow the instructions below to start it as a service (there is probably a way to automate all this)

Note this only runs on http. It could run https but for EXTERNAL access but you need to set it up with certs (see docs) It is recommended to run a reverse proxy and use the general server SSL certs

Make sure you keep a note of the AccessKey and SecretKey when you start the first time

You can access the server via http://1.2.3.4:9000

Other options

/opt/minio/bin/minio --help

MinIO configuration client and commands

Be CAREFUL as you have mc - midnight commander installed !!!!!

https://github.com/minio/mc/blob/master/docs/minio-admin-complete-guide.md https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide

wget https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/linux-amd64/mc -) /opt/minio/bin
chmod +x /opt/minio/bin/mc
/opt/minio/bin/mc --help

Add a location for your server:

/opt/minio/bin/mc config host add minio http://192.168.1.1:9000 <ACCESS KEY> <SECRET KEY>

Run a command:

/opt/minio/bin/mc admin info server minio

/opt/minio/bin/mc ls minio
[2019-10-16 16:54:53 CEST]      0B bucket1/

Help:

/opt/minio/bin/mc -h

This can enable tracing for issues, modify configuration etc

Some other notes

Init scripts that don't work on SME - note there is a Unit file for systemd

git clone https://github.com/minio/minio-service.git

esac

exit 0

It would need:

ckkconfig minio on

You can probably link to daemon tool:

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service S85minio

config set minio service status enabled

service minio start|stop|restart|status
