Running Minio as a service on Linux

Install Minio service

Systemctl is a controller for systemd system and service manager. This document assumes operating system to be Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS) with systemctl.

Create a default minio startup config file at /etc/default/minio. MINIO_VOLUMES should be updated with the correct path.

cat <<EOT >> /etc/default/minio
# Local export path.
MINIO_VOLUMES="/mnt/export"
# Use if you want to run Minio on a custom port.
# MINIO_OPTS="--address :9001"

EOT

Optionally you can also override your Minio access credentials as shown below.

cat <<EOT >> /etc/default/minio
# Access key of the server.
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR-ACCESSKEY
# Secret key of the server.
MINIO_SECRET_KEY=YOUR-SECRETKEY

EOT

Download minio.service into /etc/systemd/system/

( cd /etc/systemd/system/; curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio-service/master/linux-systemd/minio.service )

Enable Minio service

Once we have successfully copied the minio.service we will enable it to start on boot.

systemctl enable minio.service

Disable Minio service

systemctl disable minio.service
