MinIO High Performance Object Storage

minio

Welcome to the MinIO Documentation! MinIO is a high performance object storage solution with native support for Kubernetes deployments. MinIO provides an Amazon Web Services S3-compatible API and supports all core S3 features. MinIO is released under GNU Affero General Public License v3.0.

This documentation targets the latest stable version of MinIO, .

You can get started exploring MinIO features using our play server at https://play.min.io. play is a public MinIO cluster running the latest stable MinIO server. Any file uploaded to play should be considered public and non-protected.

The MinIO Client mc commandline interface includes an alias <mc alias> for the play server. After Downloading the MinIO Client, use the play alias to perform S3-compatible object storage operations:

mc alias list play
mc mb --with-lock play/mynewbucket
mc cp ~/data/mytestdata play/mynewbucket

See the MinIO Client Complete Reference </reference/minio-mc> for complete documentation on the available mc commands.

  • First-time users of MinIO or object storage services should start with our Introduction </introduction/minio-overview>.
  • Users deploying onto a Kubernetes cluster should start with our Kubernetes documentation <>.

Licensing

We have designed MinIO as an Open Source software for the Open Source software community. This requires applications to consider whether their usage of MinIO is in compliance with the GNU AGPLv3 license <mc/blob/master/LICENSE>.

MinIO cannot make the determination as to whether your application's usage of MinIO is in compliance with the AGPLv3 license requirements. You should instead rely on your own legal counsel or licensing specialists to audit and ensure your application is in compliance with the licenses of MinIO and all other open-source projects with which your application integrates or interacts. We understand that AGPLv3 licensing is complex and nuanced. It is for that reason we strongly encourage using experts in licensing to make any such determinations around compliance instead of relying on apocryphal or anecdotal advice.

MinIO Commercial Licensing is the best option for applications that trigger AGPLv3 obligations (e.g. open sourcing your application). Applications using MinIO - or any other OSS-licensed code -without validating their usage do so at their own risk.
