## Configuration Directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
Till Minio release `RELEASE.2018-08-02T23-11-36Z`, Minio server configuration file (`config.json`) was stored in the configuration directory specified by `--config-dir` or defaulted to `${HOME}/.minio`. However from releases after `RELEASE.2018-08-18T03-49-57Z`, the configuration file (only), has been migrated to the storage backend (storage backend is the directory passed to Minio server while starting the server).
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can specify the location of your existing config using `--config-dir`, Minio will migrate the `config.json` to your backend storage. Your current `config.json` will be renamed upon successful migration as `config.json.deprecated` in your current `--config-dir`. All your existing configurations are honored after this migration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally `--config-dir` is now a legacy option which will is scheduled for removal in future, so please update your local startup, ansible scripts accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
minio server /data
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Certificate Directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
TLS certificates by default are stored under ``${HOME}/.minio/certs`` directory. You need to place certificates here to enable `HTTPS` based access. Read more about [How to secure access to Minio server with TLS](https://docs.minio.io/docs/how-to-secure-access-to-minio-server-with-tls).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Following is the directory structure for Minio server with TLS certificates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
$ tree ~/.minio
|
|
|
/home/user1/.minio
|
|
|
├── certs
|
|
|
│ ├── CAs
|
|
|
│ ├── private.key
|
|
|
│ └── public.crt
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can provide a custom certs directory using `--certs-dir` command line option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Accessing configuration file
|
|
|
|
|
|
All configuration changes can be made using [`mc admin config` get/set commands](https://github.com/minio/mc/blob/master/docs/minio-admin-complete-guide.md). Following sections provide brief explanation of fields and how to customize them. A complete example of `config.json` is available [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/config/config.sample.json)
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Editing configuration file fields
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### Get current configuration for Minio deployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
$ mc admin config get myminio/ > /tmp/myconfig
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### Set current configuration for Minio deployment
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
$ mc admin config set myminio < /tmp/myconfig
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `mc admin` config API will evolve soon to be able to configure specific fields using get/set commands.

## Environment only settings
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Browser
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enable or disable access to web UI. By default it is set to `on`. You may override this field with `MINIO_BROWSER` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
export MINIO_BROWSER=off
|
|
|
minio server /data
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Domain
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, Minio supports path-style requests that are of the format http://mydomain.com/bucket/object. `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable is used to enable virtual-host-style requests. If the request `Host` header matches with `(.+).mydomain.com` then the matched pattern `$1` is used as bucket and the path is used as object. More information on path-style and virtual-host-style [here](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAPI.html)
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
export MINIO_DOMAIN=mydomain.com
|
|
|
minio server /data
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Drive Sync
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, Minio writes to disk in synchronous mode for all metadata operations. Set `MINIO_DRIVE_SYNC` environment variable to enable synchronous mode for all data operations as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
export MINIO_DRIVE_SYNC=on
|
|
|
minio server /data
|
|
|
```
