Minio server supports healthcheck and prometheus related
unauthenticated endpoints. This document summarizes this
information in a single place and add links for more detailed
documentation if needed.
This change disables the non-constant-time implementations of P-384 and P-521.
As a consequence a client using just these curves cannot connect to the server.
This should be no real issues because (all) clients at least support P-256.
Further this change also rejects ECDSA private keys of P-384 and P-521.
While non-constant-time implementations for the ECDHE exchange don't expose an
obvious vulnerability, using P-384 or P-521 keys for the ECDSA signature may allow
pratical timing attacks.
Fixes#5844
This PR adds disk based edge caching support for minio server.
Cache settings can be configured in config.json to take list of disk drives,
cache expiry in days and file patterns to exclude from cache or via environment
variables MINIO_CACHE_DRIVES, MINIO_CACHE_EXCLUDE and MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY
Design assumes that Atime support is enabled and the list of cache drives is
fixed.
- Objects are cached on both GET and PUT/POST operations.
- Expiry is used as hint to evict older entries from cache, or if 80% of cache
capacity is filled.
- When object storage backend is down, GET, LIST and HEAD operations fetch
object seamlessly from cache.
Current Limitations
- Bucket policies are not cached, so anonymous operations are not supported in
offline mode.
- Objects are distributed using deterministic hashing among list of cache
drives specified.If one or more drives go offline, or cache drive
configuration is altered - performance could degrade to linear lookup.
Fixes#4026
- removes backend/{fs,xl} files.
- removes FreeBSD doc since we already have FreeNAS doc.
- removes sets/ directory which is redundant with
large-bucket directory.
- removes browser/ directory which attempts
to explain about browser RPC calls, since
its an internal API we do not need to document it.
- Add head method for healthcheck endpoint. Some platforms/users
may use the HTTP Head method to check for health status.
- Add liveness and readiness probe examples in Kubernetes yaml
example docs. Note that readiness probe not added to StatefulSet
example due to https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/27114
This PR adds readiness and liveness endpoints to probe Minio server
instance health. Endpoints can only be accessed without authentication
and the paths are /minio/health/live and /minio/health/ready for
liveness and readiness respectively.
The new healthcheck liveness endpoint is used for Docker healthcheck
now.

- Remove hostPort from Kubernetes deployment example docs. Initially
hostPort was added to ensure Minio pods are allocated to separate
machines, but as per latest Kubernetes documents this is not
recommended approach (ref: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/
configuration/overview/#services). To define pod allocations,
Affinity and Anti-Affinity concepts are the recommended approach.
(ref: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node)
- Add Minio release tag to Docker-Compose example file.
This change fixes the command for generating ECDSA private keys.
The current command produces private key files which cannot be parsed
by the server.
Fixes#5614
This PR implements an object layer which
combines input erasure sets of XL layers
into a unified namespace.
This object layer extends the existing
erasure coded implementation, it is assumed
in this design that providing > 16 disks is
a static configuration as well i.e if you started
the setup with 32 disks with 4 sets 8 disks per
pack then you would need to provide 4 sets always.
Some design details and restrictions:
- Objects are distributed using consistent ordering
to a unique erasure coded layer.
- Each pack has its own dsync so locks are synchronized
properly at pack (erasure layer).
- Each pack still has a maximum of 16 disks
requirement, you can start with multiple
such sets statically.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic expansion allowed.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic removal allowed.
- ListObjects() across sets can be noticeably
slower since List happens on all servers,
and is merged at this sets layer.

in-memory caching cannot be cleanly implemented
without the access to GC which Go doesn't naturally
provide. At times we have seen that object caching
is more of an hindrance rather than a boon for
our use cases.
Removing it completely from our implementation
related to #5160 and #5182
This is a generic minimum value. The current reason is to support
Azure blob storage accounts name whose length is less than 5. 3 is the
minimum length for Azure.
This change adds documentation about PKCS-8 vs PKCS-1 pitfalls. It
also provides a command to convert encrypted PKCS-8 RSA keys to
encrypted PKCS-1 RSA keys.
Fixes#5453
