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 Centos Linux

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

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

Note this only runs on http. It could run http but for EXTERNAL access it is recommended to run a revers proxy. You can then use SSL certs as well.

Make sure you keep a note of the AccessKey and SecretKey.

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

Other options

/opt/minio/bin/minio --help

MinIO configuration client and commands

This can enable tracing for issues 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

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
