Installation Procedure

Step 1: Check the OS Version by using the below command

[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]# cat  /etc/os-release
NAME="Oracle Linux Server"
VERSION="8.5"
ID="ol"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VARIANT="Server"

Step 2: Add a MinIO user by using the below command

 [root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]#   useradd -s /bin/bash -d /opt/minio minio

Step 3: Create a Directory by using the below command

 [root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]#  mkdir -p /opt/minio/bin
   cd /opt/minio/bin

Step 4: Download the MinIO using the following command in opt/minio/bin directory

Step 6: Ensure all files are owned by MinIO in /opt/minio: by using the below command

[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]#   chown –R minio:minio /opt/minio/bin/minio

Step 7: Create a MinIO config file by using the below command

[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]#   vim /opt/minio/minio.conf
MINIO_VOLUMES=/opt/minio/data

Step 8: Add minio systemd service files by using the below command

[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]#   vim /etc/systemd/system/minio.service

Step 9: Disable Firewall and SELinux by using the below command

[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]systemctl] # disable firewalld
[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp] # setenforce 0

Step 10: Enable and start the Minio service and check the status by using the below command

[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]# systemctl enable minio
[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]# systemctl start  minio
[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]# systemctl status  minio

Step 11: Take a note of your MinIO access and secret key by using the below command

[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]# /opt/minio/data/.minio.sys/config/config.json
Access key : minioadmin
Secret key : minioadmin

Step 12: Restart the MinIO service by using the below command

[root@linuxhelplinuxhelp]# systemctl restart  minio

Step 13: Once completed above step go to browser type the IP address as shown in the below image

You can access the Minio web interface by going to http://<server_ip>:9000/ – log in with the access and secret key

Step 14: Login with the access key and secret key as shown in the below image
