minio/Docker.md

Running Minio in Docker.

Installing Docker.

sudo apt-get install Docker.io

Generating minio configs for the first time.

docker run -p 9000 minio/minio:latest

Persist minio configs.

docker commit <running_minio_container_id> minio/my-minio
docker stop <running_minio_container_id>

Create a data volume container.

docker create -v /export --name minio-export minio/my-minio /bin/true

You can also map .minio directory containing authentication information.

docker create -v /export --name minio-export -v /root/.minio --name minio-config minio/my-minio /bin/true

You can then use the --volumes-from flag to mount the /export and /root/.minio volume in another container.

docker run -p 9000 --volumes-from minio-export --volumes-from minio-config --name minio-server1 minio/my-minio
