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 6.6+ kernel. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 or Ubuntu LTS 22.04.01+ ship with these Kernel's by default. Ensure the chosen OS uses LTS and in-support releases of a 6.6+ Linux kernel. |
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. |
|
Disable system services that index, scan, or audit the filesystem, system-level calls, or kernel-level calls. These services can reduce performance due to resource contention or interception of MinIO operations. MinIO strongly recommends uninstalling or disabling the following services on hosts running MinIO:
The above list represents the most common services or softwares known to cause performance or behavioral issues with high performance systems like MinIO. Consider removing or disabling any other service or software which functions similarly to those listed above on MinIO hosts. Alternatively, configure these services to ignore or exclude the MinIO Server process and all drives or drive paths accessed by MinIO. |
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 <minio-metrics-collect-using-prometheus>
or a Prometheus-compatible setup for monitoring and metrics |
circle |
Grafana configured <minio-grafana> for
dashboards |
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. |
