Bucket Quota Configuration Quickstart Guide

Buckets can be configured to have one of two types of quota configuration - FIFO and Hard quota.

• Hard quota disallows writes to the bucket after configured quota limit is reached.
• FIFO quota automatically deletes oldest content until bucket usage falls within configured limit while permitting writes.

NOTE: Bucket quotas are not supported under gateway or standalone single disk deployments.

Prerequisites

• Install MinIO - MinIO Quickstart Guide.
• Use mc with MinIO Server

Set bucket quota configuration

Set a hard quota of 1GB for a bucket mybucket on MinIO object storage:

$ mc admin bucket quota myminio/mybucket --hard 1gb

Set FIFO quota of 5GB for a bucket "mybucket" on MinIO to allow automatic deletion of older content to ensure bucket usage remains within 5GB

$ mc admin bucket quota myminio/mybucket --fifo 5gb

Verify the quota configured on mybucket on MinIO

$ mc admin bucket quota myminio/mybucket

Clear bucket quota configuration for mybucket on MinIO

$ mc admin bucket quota myminio/mybucket --clear
