MinIO is an object storage server released under Apache License v2.0. It is compatible[1] with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. It is best suited for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups and container / VM images. Size of an object can range from a few KBs to a maximum of 5TB.
MinIO server is light enough to be bundled with the application stack, similar to NodeJS, Redis and MySQL.
[1]: MinIO in its default mode is faster and does not calculate MD5Sum unless passed by client. This may lead to incompatibility with few S3 clients like s3ql that heavily depend on MD5Sum. For full compatibility with Amazon S3 API, start MinIO with --compat option.
minio --compat server /datadocker pull minio/minio
docker run -p 9000:9000 minio/minio server /data
docker pull minio/minio:edge
docker run -p 9000:9000 minio/minio:edge server /data
Note: Docker will not display the autogenerated keys unless you start the container with the -it(interactive TTY) argument. Generally, it is not recommended to use autogenerated keys with containers. Please visit MinIO Docker quickstart guide for more information here
