Syntax
------
.. start-mc-alias-export-desc
The :mc:`mc alias export` command exports an alias configuration from the existing :ref:`configuration <mc-configuration>`.
.. end-mc-alias-export-desc
The command outputs the result to ``STDOUT`` where you can either capture the output as a file *or* perform further modifications to the output as necessary.
Use the :mc:`mc alias import` command to import the resulting JSON configuration.
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: EXAMPLE
The following command exports an alias configuration from the existing host and outputs it to a file:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc alias export play > play.json
The command outputs the file to Standard Out (``STDOUT``).
You can alternatively pipe the output to a utility of your choice for further operations.
.. tab-item:: SYNTAX
The :mc:`mc alias export` command has the following syntax:
.. code-block:: shell
mc [GLOBALFLAGS] alias export ALIAS
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-mc.rst
:start-after: start-minio-syntax
:end-before: end-minio-syntax
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
.. mc-cmd:: ALIAS
:required:
The name of the alias to export.
Global Flags
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-mc.rst
:start-after: start-minio-mc-globals
:end-before: end-minio-mc-globals
Behavior
--------
JSON Format
~~~~~~~~~~~
The command outputs a JSON object with the following schema:
.. code-block:: json
{
"url" : "https://hostname:port",
"accessKey": "<STRING>",
"secretKey": "<STRING>",
"api": "s3v4",
"path": "auto"
}
You can use the :mc:`mc alias import` to import the JSON document.
Examples
--------
Export and Transform an Alias
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following example exports the alias for the `play.min.io <https://play.min.io>`__ sandbox.
It then transforms the configuration using the `jq <https://jqlang.github.io/jq/>`__ utility and creates a new alias from the modified configuration:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc alias export play | jq '.accessKey = "minioadmin" | .secretKey = "minioadmin"' | mc alias import play-custom
Back Up An Alias Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following command exports an alias configuration to a JSON file.
You can then back up that file using your preferred process.
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc alias export play > play-backup.json
S3 Compatibility
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-mc.rst
:start-after: start-minio-mc-s3-compatibility
:end-before: end-minio-mc-s3-compatibility
