Software Checklist

minio

Table of Contents

Use the following checklist when planning the software configuration for a production, distributed MinIO deployment.

MinIO Pre-requisites

circle Servers running a Linux operating system with a 5.x+ kernel, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9 or Ubuntu LTS 20.04+
circle A method to synchronize time servers across nodes, such as with ntp, timedatectl or timesyncd. The method to use varies by operating system. Check with your operating system's documentation for how to synchronize time with a time server.
circle System administrator access to the remote servers
circle A management tool for distributed systems, such as Ansible, Terraform, or Kubernetes for orchestrated environments. Kubernetes infrastructures should use the MinIO Operator for best results.
circle Load balancer to handle routing of requests (for example, NGINX)
circle Prometheus / Grafana <minio-metrics-collect-using-prometheus> setup for monitoring and metrics
circle (optional) mc installed on the local host system

MinIO Install

Install the MinIO server binary across all nodes, ensuring that each node uses the same version of that binary.

linux

See the Multi Node Multi Drive deployment guide <minio-mnmd> for more information.

container or macos or windows

See the Single Node Single Drive deployment guide <minio-snsd> for more information.

k8s

See the Deploy MinIO Operator <minio-operator-installation> and Minio Tenant deployment guide <minio-k8s-deploy-minio-tenant> for more information.

Post Install Tasks

circle (optional) Create an mc alias for each server with mc alias set from your local machine for command line access to work with the MinIO deployment from a local machine
circle Configure Bucket replication <minio-bucket-replication-requirements> to duplicate contents of a bucket to another bucket location
circle Configure Site replication <minio-site-replication-overview> to synchronize contents of multiple dispersed data center locations
circle Configure Object retention rules with lifecycle management <minio-lifecycle-management> to manage when objects should expire
circle Configure Object storage level rules with tiering <minio-lifecycle-management-tiering> to move objects between hot, warm, and cold storage and maximize storage cost efficiencies

3rd Party Identity Provider Tasks

circle
Authenticate to MinIO with Security Token Service (STS) <minio-security-token-service>
Enabling this requires MinIO support.
