What is MINIO ?

MinIO offers high-performance, S3 compatible object storage. Native to Kubernetes, MinIO is the only object storage suite available on every public cloud, every Kubernetes distribution, the private cloud and the edge. MinIO is software-defined and is 100% open source under GNU AGPL v

You can refer below documents to learn more about MinIO.

Let's do it hands on

1. Install minio client

wget https://github.com/minio/operator/releases/download/v4.4.16/kubectl-minio_4.4.16_linux_amd64 -O kubectl-mini

chmod +x kubectl-minio

mv kubectl-minio /usr/local/bin/o
        

2. Generate the minio operator CRDs manifest for deploy operator

3. Deploy the minio operator

4. Check the resources

5. For access to minio console use the proxy command

6. Copy the JWT and use it as the login credentials -> https://localhost:9090

7. Create a Tenant

Before create above Tenant you should deploy a local-path storage provisioner.

In here I am going to use Rancher local-path provisioner.

Please follow the below instruction to deploy Rancher local-path-storage provisioner https://github.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner

8. Deploy local-path storage provisioner.

9. Before create the Tenant, Check the PV & PVC and you can see nothing.

10. Now you can create a Tenant via the console

11. As the AWS credentials, You can download the access & secret key.

12. Now check the PV & PVC

13. Go to the each node and check inside the directories which you have configured on local-path-provisioner

14. Check the Tenant health from the console

15. Now you can create a bucket like AWS S3

16. After that you can configure the AWS credentials

List all bucket in your Tenant

• aws --endpoint-url https://test-01-ha.storage.svc.cluster.local:9000 s3 ls --profile default

17. Now you can copy the files as you wish

18. You can check the inside on PVC provisioned by local-path provisioner on each nodes and the console

We are done it.......
