This commit also generally cleans up the Installation docs and uses /includes/<platform>/steps-*.rst as a pattern for storing platform-specific tutorials within a single root URL. Finally, due to API rate limits, this commit adds some Makefile magic to allow skipping of sync'ing dependencies. Pass `make BUILD_DEPENDENCIES=FALSE <platform>` to skip building any deps and use what is already in the branch.

Install and Deploy MinIO
minio
Table of Contents
MinIO is a software-defined high performance distributed object storage server. You can run MinIO on consumer or enterprise-grade hardware and a variety of operating systems and architectures.
MinIO supports three deployment topologies:
- Single-Node Single-Drive (SNSD or "Standalone")
-
A single MinIO server with a single storage volume or folder. deployment provides failover protections. Drive-level reliability and failover depends on the underlying storage volume.
deployments are best suited for evaluation and initial development of applications using MinIO for object storage.
deployments implement a zero-parity erasure coding backend and include support for the following erasure-coding dependent features:
Versioning <minio-bucket-versioning>Object Locking / Retention <minio-object-retention>
- Single-Node Multi-Drive (SNMD or "Standalone Multi-Drive")
-
A single MinIO server with four or more storage volumes. deployments provide drive-level reliability and failover only.
- Multi-Node Multi-Drive (MNMD or "Distributed")
-
Multiple MinIO servers with at least four drives across all servers. The distributed topology supports production-grade object storage with drive and node-level availability and resiliency.
This documentation provides instructions for and for supporting local development and evaluation of MinIO on a single host machine. For deployments, use the MinIO Kubernetes Operator to deploy and manage MinIO tenants in a containerized and orchestrated environment.
Platform Support
MinIO provides container images at the following repositories:
Use of MinIO images from any other repository, host, or organization is at your own risk.
The Single-Node Single-Drive <minio-snsd> and Single-Node Multi-Drive <minio-snmd> tutorials
provide instructions for the Docker and Podman <>
container managers.
