.. mc:: mc alias import
Syntax
------
.. start-mc-alias-import-desc
The :mc:`mc alias import` command imports an alias configuration from a JSON document.
.. end-mc-alias-import-desc
You can use :mc:`mc alias export` to create the necessary JSON for import.
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: EXAMPLE
The following command imports an alias configuration from a JSON document:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc alias import newalias ./credentials.json
Use :mc:`mc alias list newalias <mc alias list>` to confirm the import succeeded.
.. tab-item:: SYNTAX
The :mc:`mc alias import` command has the following syntax:
.. code-block:: shell
mc [GLOBALFLAGS] alias import ALIAS PATH|STDIN
.. 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 assign to the imported configuration.
.. mc-cmd:: PATH
:required:
The full path to the JSON object representing the alias configuration to import.
Mutually exclusive with the :mc-cmd:`~mc alias import STDIN` parameter.
.. mc-cmd:: STDIN
:required:
Directs the command to use the Standard Input (STDIN) as the source of the JSON object for import.
Mutually exclusive with the :mc-cmd:`~mc alias import PATH` parameter.
Global Flags
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-mc.rst
:start-after: start-minio-mc-globals
:end-before: end-minio-mc-globals
Behavior
--------
JSON Format
~~~~~~~~~~~
The JSON object **must** have the following format:
.. code-block:: json
{
"url" : "https://hostname:port",
"accessKey": "<STRING>",
"secretKey": "<STRING>",
"api": "s3v4",
"path": "auto"
}
You can use the :mc:`mc alias export` command to export an existing alias from the local host configuration.
Alternatively, you can manually extract the necessary JSOn fields from the :mc:`mc` :ref:`configuration file <mc-configuration>`.
Examples
--------
Import an Alias Using Standard Input
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following example imports a custom alias for the `play.min.io <https://play.min.io>`__ sandbox.
You can modify this example to use user credentials you have already created or validated as existing on the sandbox:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
echo '
{
"url": "https://play.min.io",
"accessKey": "minioadmin",
"secretKey": "minioadmin",
"api": "s3v4",
"path": "auto"
}' | mc alias import play-minioadmin
