There is no reliable way to handle fallbacks for
MinIO deployments, due to various command line
options and multiple locations which require
access inside container.
Parsing command line options is tricky to figure
out which is the backend disk etc, we did try
to fix this in implementations of check-user.go
but it wasn't complete and introduced more bugs.
This PR simplifies the entire approach to rather
than running Docker container as non-root by default
always, it allows users to opt-in. Such that they
are aware that that is what they are planning to do.
In-fact there are other ways docker containers can
be run as regular users, without modifying our
internal behavior and adding more complexities.
- Snappy is not and RLE compressor, it is LZ77 based.
- Add `xz` as a common file type.
- Add most common media container types.
- Never heard of `application/x-spoon`. Google turns up a blank as well.
- Change link to minio blog post on compression & encryption.
This commit removes the encryption key section from
the certool.exe docs because:
- MinIO does not support any TLS cipher that encrypts
something with the private key. We only support PFS
ciphers.
- The doc comment is not really accurate anyway.
This PR adds support for adding session policies
for further restrictions on STS credentials, useful
in situations when applications want to generate
creds for multiple interested parties with different
set of policy restrictions.
This session policy is not mandatory, but optional.
Fixes#7732
etcd when used in federated setups, currently
mandates that all clusters should have same
config.json, which is too restrictive and makes
federation a restrictive environment.
This change makes it apparent that each cluster
needs to be independently managed if necessary
from `mc admin info` command line.
Each cluster with in federation can have their
own root credentials and as well as separate
regions. This way buckets get further restrictions
and allows for root creds to be not common
across clusters/data centers.
Existing data in etcd gets migrated to backend
on each clusters, upon start. Once done
users can change their config entries
independently.
This will allow cache to consistently work for
server and gateways. Range GET requests will
be cached in the background after the request
is served from the backend.
