Minio lightweight object storage service installation and browser usage tutorial

Introduction

Minio is an object storage service based on the Apache License v2.0 open source protocol. It is very suitable for storing large-capacity unstructured data, such as pictures, videos, log files, backup data, and container/virtual machine images. An object file can be of any size, ranging from a few KB to a maximum of 5T. Minio is a very lightweight service that can be easily integrated with other applications.

Install

This time we use docker for installation (operating system: centos7)

Using a container to start up requires a persistent volume to store configuration and application data, otherwise the stored data will be lost when the container exits.

1. Create the folder to be mounted

mkdir /mydata/minio/data
mkdir /mydata/minio/config

2. Pull the image

docker pull minio/minio

3. Create a container

docker run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name minio \
  -v /mydata/minio/data:/data \
  -v /mydata/minio/config:/root/.minio \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=admin" \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=123456Ab" \
  minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"

Set API port 9000, web console port 9001, username: admin, password: 123456Ab.

The above information indicates that the startup is successful. You can add the -d parameter to start it in the background.

4. Open ports

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9001/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

use

1. Browser access

Enter http://ip:9001 in the browser

Enter the username and password set when starting the container and enter the homepage:

2. Add a new bucket

Buckets -> Create Bucket+

3. Set up bucket

Click Manage->Access Rules->Add Access Rules

Prefix: *

Access: readwrite

4. Upload and browse pictures

Enter test-bucket and click upload logo.png

Next, you can access the uploaded image through http://ip:9000/test-bucket/logo.png.

This article only introduces the installation of minio and its simple use in the browser. The next article will introduce how to use the Java client to operate minio.
