Install Server and Client Packages

# Install MinIO server package
rpm -ivh https://dl.minio.org.cn/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio-20230518000536.0.0.x86_64.rpm

# Install MinIO client package
rpm -ivh https://dl.minio.org.cn/client/mc/release/linux-amd64/mcli-20230518165900.0.0.x86_64.rpm

Define Environment Variibles for MinIO

Create /etc/default/mstorage with the following:

DATA_DIR="/mnt/storage"
LISTEN_ADDR=":9000"
CONSOLE_PORT=":9001"
ROOT_ID="superadmin"
ROOT_PASS="StrongPass!2024"
PUBLIC_ENDPOINT="http://<public_ip>:9000"

Prepare System User and Storage Path

# Add dedicated system user
useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin -d /mnt/storage -M mstorage

# Create storage directory
install -d -m 0750 -o mstorage -g mstorage /mnt/storage

# Set ownership for binaries and config
chown mstorage:mstorage /usr/local/bin/minio /usr/local/bin/mcli
chown mstorage:mstorage /etc/default/mstorage
chown -R mstorage:mstorage /mnt/storage

Configrue systemd Unit File

Edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/mstorage.service, ensuring these lines:

[Service]
User=mstorage
Group=mstorage
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/mstorage
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/minio server $DATA_DIR --address $LISTEN_ADDR --console-address $CONSOLE_PORT

Reload units and apply changes:

systemctl daemon-reexec
systemctl daemon-reload

Enable and Launch Service

systemctl enable --now mstorage

Access Web Console

Open http://<host_ip>:9001/ in a browser. Log in using ROOT_ID and ROOT_PASS defined earlier.

Configure and Operate via MinIO Client

Connect to the local server:

# Option 1: Provide credentials inline
mc alias set local http://<host_ip>:9000 superadmin StrongPass!2024 --api S3v4

# Option 2: Prompt for credentials
mc alias set local http://<host_ip>:9000 --api S3v4

Verify connection:

mc ls local

Create a bucket:

mc mb local/project-data

List buckets:

mc ls local

Upload objects:

mc cp ./app.tar.gz local/project-data/app/
mc cp ./jdk.tar.gz local/project-data/java/

Remove a folder recursively:

mc rm local/project-data/app --recursive --force

Delete a single object:

mc rm local/project-data/java/jdk.tar.gz

Remove a entire bucket forcibly:

mc rb local/project-data --force

Display known hosts:

mc config host list
