# Minio Azure Gateway [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io) Minio Gateway adds Amazon S3 compatibility to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage. ## Run Minio Gateway for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage ### Using Docker ``` docker run -p 9000:9000 --name azure-s3 \ -e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=azureaccountname" \ -e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=azureaccountkey" \ minio/minio gateway azure ``` ### Using Binary ``` export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=azureaccountname export MINIO_SECRET_KEY=azureaccountkey minio gateway azure ``` ## Test using Minio Browser Minio Gateway comes with an embedded web based object browser. Point your web browser to http://127.0.0.1:9000 ensure your server has started successfully. ![Screenshot](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/screenshots/minio-browser-gateway.png?raw=true) ## Test using Minio Client `mc` `mc` provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands such as ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff etc. It supports filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage services. ### Configure `mc` ``` mc config host add myazure http://gateway-ip:9000 azureaccountname azureaccountkey ``` ### List containers on Microsoft Azure ``` mc ls myazure [2017-02-22 01:50:43 PST] 0B ferenginar/ [2017-02-26 21:43:51 PST] 0B my-container/ [2017-02-26 22:10:11 PST] 0B test-container1/ ``` ### Known limitations [Limitations](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/gateway/azure-limitations.md) ## Explore Further - [`mc` command-line interface](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide) - [`aws` command-line interface](https://docs.minio.io/docs/aws-cli-with-minio) - [`minfs` filesystem interface](http://docs.minio.io/docs/minfs-quickstart-guide) - [`minio-go` Go SDK](https://docs.minio.io/docs/golang-client-quickstart-guide)
