# Minio Docker Quickstart Guide [](https://slack.minio.io) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/minio/minio) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/) [](https://codecov.io/gh/minio/minio)
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
Docker installed on your machine. Download the relevant installer from [here](https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download).
|
|
|
|
## Run Standalone Minio on Docker.
|
|
Minio needs a persistent volume to store configuration and application data. However, for testing purposes, you can launch Minio by simply passing a directory (`/export` in the example below). This directory gets created in the container filesystem at the time of container start. But all the data is lost after container exits.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 minio/minio server /export
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To create a Minio container with persistent storage, you need to map local persistent directories from the host OS to virtual config `~/.minio` and export `/export` directories. To do this, run the below commands
|
|
|
|
#### GNU/Linux and macOS
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 \
|
|
-v /mnt/export/minio1:/export \
|
|
-v /mnt/config/minio1:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /export
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 \
|
|
-v D:\export\minio1:/export \
|
|
-v D:\export\minio1-config:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /export
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run Distributed Minio on Docker
|
|
Distributed Minio can be deployed via [Docker Compose](https://docs.minio.io/docs/deploy-minio-on-docker-compose) or [Swarm mode](https://docs.minio.io/docs/deploy-minio-on-docker-swarm). The major difference between these two being, Docker Compose creates a single host, multi-container deployment, while Swarm mode creates a multi-host, multi-container deployment.
|
|
|
|
This means Docker Compose lets you quickly get started with Distributed Minio on your computer - ideal for development, testing, staging environments. While deploying Distributed Minio on Swarm offers a more robust, production level deployment.

## Minio Docker Tips
|
|
|
|
### Minio Custom Access and Secret Keys
|
|
To override Minio's auto-generated keys, you may pass secret and access keys explicitly as environment variables. Minio server also allows regular strings as access and secret keys.
|
|
|
|
#### GNU/Linux and macOS
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 \
|
|
-e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \
|
|
-e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY" \
|
|
-v /mnt/export/minio1:/export \
|
|
-v /mnt/config/minio1:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /export
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
```powershell
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 \
|
|
-e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \
|
|
-e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY" \
|
|
-v D:\export\minio1:/export \
|
|
-v D:\export\minio1-config:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /export
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Minio Custom Access and Secret Keys using Docker secrets
|
|
To override Minio's auto-generated keys, you may pass secret and access keys explicitly by creating access and secret keys as [Docker secrets](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/secrets/). Minio server also allows regular strings as access and secret keys.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" | docker secret create access_key -
|
|
echo "wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY" | docker secret create secret_key -
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a Minio service using `docker service` to read from Docker secrets.
|
|
```
|
|
docker service create --name="minio-service" --secret="access_key" --secret="secret_key" minio/minio server /export
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Read more about `docker service` [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/how-swarm-mode-works/services/)
|
|
|
|
### Retrieving Container ID
|
|
To use Docker commands on a specific container, you need to know the `Container ID` for that container. To get the `Container ID`, run
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker ps -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`-a` flag makes sure you get all the containers (Created, Running, Exited). Then identify the `Container ID` from the output.
|
|
|
|
### Starting and Stopping Containers
|
|
To start a stopped container, you can use the [`docker start`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/start/) command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker start <container_id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To stop a running container, you can use the [`docker stop`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/stop/) command.
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker stop <container_id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Minio container logs
|
|
To access Minio logs, you can use the [`docker logs`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/logs/) command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker logs <container_id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Monitor Minio Docker Container
|
|
To monitor the resources used by Minio container, you can use the [`docker stats`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/stats/) command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker stats <container_id>
|
|
```
