# Minio Gateway [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io)

Minio gateway adds Amazon S3 compatibility to third party cloud storage providers. Supported providers are:

- Azure Blob Storage

## Run Minio Gateway for 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 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 Azure

```
mc ls myazure
