### Minio with ZFS backend - FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
This example assumes that you have a FreeBSD 10.x running
|
|
|
|
#### Step 1.
|
|
|
|
As root on the FreeBSD edit `/etc/rc.conf`
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
zfs_enable="YES"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start ZFS service
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
service zfs start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dd if=/dev/zero of=/zfs bs=1M count=4000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configure a loopback device on the `/zfs` file.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /zfs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create zfs pool
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
zpool create minio-example /dev/md0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
df /minio-example
|
|
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
|
|
minio-example 7872440 38 7872402 0% /minio-example
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Verify if it is writable
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
touch /minio-example/testfile
|
|
ls -l /minio-example/testfile
|
|
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Apr 26 00:51 /minio-example/testfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you have successfully created a ZFS pool for further reading please refer to [ZFS Quickstart Guide](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/zfs-quickstart.html)
|
|
|
|
However, this pool is not taking advantage of any ZFS features, so let's create a ZFS filesytem on this pool with compression enabled. ZFS supports many compression algorithms: lzjb, gzip, zle, lz4. LZ4 is often the most performant algorithm in terms of compression of data versus system overhead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
zfs create minio-example/compressed-objects
|
|
zfs set compression=lz4 minio-example/compressed-objects
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To keep monitoring your pool use
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
zpool status
|
|
pool: minio-example
|
|
state: ONLINE
|
|
scan: none requested
|
|
config:
|
|
|
|
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
|
|
minio-example ONLINE 0 0 0
|
|
md0 ONLINE 0 0 0
|
|
|
|
errors: No known data errors
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Step 2.
|
|
|
|
Now start minio server on the ``/minio-example/compressed-objects``, change the permissions such that this directory is accessibly by a normal user
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
chown -R minio-user:minio-user /minio-example/compressed-objects
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now login as ``minio-user`` and start minio server.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/freebsd-amd64/minio > minio
|
|
chmod 755 minio
|
|
./minio server /minio-example/compressed-objects
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Point your browser to http://localhost:9000 and login with the credentials displayed on the command line.
|
|
|
|
Now you have a S3 compatible server running on top of your ZFS backend which transparently provides disk level compression for your uploaded objects.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for using Minio, awaiting feedback :-)

#### Building Minio Server From Source
|
|
|
|
It is possible to build the minio server from source on FreeBSD. To do this we will used the golang distribution provided by the FreeBSD pkg infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
We will need to install golang and GNU make:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo pkg install go gmake
|
|
```
|
|
Now we can proceed with the normal build process of minio server as found [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). The only caveat is we need to specify gmake (GNU make) when building minio server as the current Makefile is not BSD make compatible:
|
|
|
|
|
|
From here you can start the server as you would with a precompiled minio server build.
