# MinIO Docker Quickstart Guide [](https://slack.min.io) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/minio/minio) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/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 (`/data` 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 /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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 `/data` directories. To do this, run the below commands
|
|
|
|
#### GNU/Linux and macOS
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 \
|
|
-v /mnt/data:/data \
|
|
-v /mnt/config:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 \
|
|
-v D:\data:/data \
|
|
-v D:\minio\config:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run Distributed MinIO on Docker
|
|
Distributed MinIO can be deployed via [Docker Compose](https://docs.min.io/docs/deploy-minio-on-docker-compose) or [Swarm mode](https://docs.min.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/data:/data \
|
|
-v /mnt/config:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
```powershell
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 \
|
|
-e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \
|
|
-e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY" \
|
|
-v D:\data:/data \
|
|
-v D:\minio\config:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run MinIO Docker as non root user
|
|
MinIO server runs as non-root within the container by default. However, this is applicable only if you're deploying new MinIO instance (not upgrading from older releases). Deployments upgrading from older MinIO deployments, will continue to run as the user previously used if any.
|
|
|
|
By default `minio` is username and groupname. Use environment variables `MINIO_USERNAME` and `MINIO_GROUPNAME` to override these default values.
|
|
|
|
#### GNU/Linux and macOS
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 \
|
|
-e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \
|
|
-e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY" \
|
|
-e "MINIO_USERNAME=custom" \
|
|
-e "MINIO_GROUPNAME=custom" \
|
|
-v /mnt/data:/data \
|
|
-v /mnt/config:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
```powershell
|
|
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name minio1 \
|
|
-e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \
|
|
-e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY" \
|
|
-e "MINIO_USERNAME=custom" \
|
|
-e "MINIO_GROUPNAME=custom" \
|
|
-v D:\data:/data \
|
|
-v D:\minio\config:/root/.minio \
|
|
minio/minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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 /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Read more about `docker service` [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/how-swarm-mode-works/services/)
|
|
|
|
#### MinIO Custom Access and Secret Key files
|
|
To use other secret names follow the instructions above and replace `access_key` and `secret_key` with your custom names (e.g. `my_secret_key`,`my_custom_key`). Run your service with
|
|
```
|
|
docker service create --name="minio-service" \
|
|
--secret="my_access_key" \
|
|
--secret="my_secret_key" \
|
|
--env="MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_FILE=my_access_key" \
|
|
--env="MINIO_SECRET_KEY_FILE=my_secret_key" \
|
|
minio/minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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>
|
|
```
