Minio is a distributed object storage server built for cloud applications and devops.

Portworx perfectly compliments Minio object storage by providing an elastic, scalable, container-granular data services fabric underneath the Minio object storage server.

Minio object storage perfectly compliments Portworx by providing a simple object storage service layer on top of Portworx data services.

Both products complement each other with their stunning simplicity.

Create Portworx Persistent Volumes

Minio requires 2 volumes: one for configuration meta-data, and one for user data. For example:

docker volume create -d pxd --name minio-config --opt size=30G --opt repl=3
docker volume create -d pxd --name minio-export --opt size=30G --opt repl=3

Launch Minio Object Storage Server

To run the Minio Object Storage Server with the Portworx persistent volumes created above:

docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 -d \
  -v minio-export:/export \
  -v minio-config:/root/.minio \
  minio/minio server /export
