MinIO Client Installation and Quickstart

Pull the mc binary:  

 

# wget https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/linux-amd64/mc
# chmod +x mc
# ./mc --help

 Add a Cloud Storage Service

To add one or more Amazon S3 compatible hosts, please follow the instructions below. mc stores all its configuration information in ~/.mc/config.json file.

mc config host add <ALIAS> <YOUR-S3-ENDPOINT> <YOUR-ACCESS-KEY> <YOUR-SECRET-KEY> --api <API-SIGNATURE> --lookup <BUCKET-LOOKUP-TYPE>
Alias is simply a short name to your cloud storage service. S3 end-point, access and secret keys are supplied by your cloud storage provider. API signature is an optional argument. By default, it is set to "S3v4".

Lookup is an optional argument. It is used to indicate whether dns or path style url requests are supported by the server. It accepts "dns", "path" or "auto" as valid values. By default, it is set to "auto" and SDK automatically determines the type of url lookup to use.

Example - MinIO Cloud Storage
