# How to secure access to Minio on Kubernetes with TLS [](https://slack.minio.io)
|
|
|
|
This document explains how to configure Minio server with TLS certificates on Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Familiarity with [Minio deployment process on Kubernetes](https://docs.minio.io/docs/deploy-minio-on-kubernetes).
|
|
|
|
- Kubernetes cluster with `kubectl` configured.
|
|
|
|
- Acquire TLS certificates, either from a CA or [create self-signed certificates](https://docs.minio.io/docs/how-to-secure-access-to-minio-server-with-tls).
|
|
|
|
## 2. Create Kubernetes secret
|
|
|
|
[Kubernetes secrets](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret) are intended to hold sensitive information.
|
|
We'll use secrets to hold the TLS certificate and key. To create a secret, update the paths to `private.key` and `public.crt`
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
Then type
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
kubectl create secret generic tls-ssl-minio --from-file=path/to/private.key --from-file=path/to/public.crt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Cross check if the secret is created successfully using
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
kubectl get secrets
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see a secret named `tls-ssl-minio`.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Update deployment yaml file
|
|
|
|
Whether you are planning to use Kubernetes StatefulSet or Kubernetes Deployment, the steps remain the same.
|
|
|
|
If you're using certificates provided by a CA, add the below section in your yaml file under `spec.volumes[]`
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- name: secret-volume
|
|
secret:
|
|
secretName: tls-ssl-minio
|
|
items:
|
|
- key: public.crt
|
|
path: .minio/certs/public.crt
|
|
- key: private.key
|
|
path: .minio/certs/private.key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In case you are using a self signed certificate, Minio server will not trust it by default. To add the certificate as a
|
|
trusted certificate, add the `public.crt` to the `.minio/certs/CAs` directory as well. This can be done by
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- name: secret-volume
|
|
secret:
|
|
secretName: tls-ssl-minio
|
|
items:
|
|
- key: public.crt
|
|
path: .minio/certs/public.crt
|
|
- key: private.key
|
|
path: .minio/certs/private.key
|
|
- key: public.crt
|
|
path: .minio/certs/CAs/public.crt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that the `secretName` should be same as the secret name created in previous step. Then add the below section under
|
|
`spec.containers[].volumeMounts[]`
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
volumeMounts:
|
|
- name: secret-volume
|
|
mountPath: /<user-running-minio>/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here the name of `volumeMount` should match the name of `volume` created previously. Also `mountPath` is the path of
|
|
Minio server's config directory, (used to store the certificates). By default the location is
|
|
`/user-running-minio/.minio/certs`. Update the `mountPath` to appropriate parent directory for Minio server config
|
|
directory. (Tip: In default Kubernetes configuration this will be `/root`).
