# Deploy Minio on Chrooted Environment [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io) [![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/minio/minio)](https://goreportcard.com/report/minio/minio) [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/minio/minio.svg?maxAge=604800)](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/minio/minio/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/minio/minio)

Chroot allows user based namespace isolation on many standard Linux deployments.

## 1. Prerequisites
* Familiarity with [chroot](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/chroot.2.html)
* Chroot installed on your machine.

## 2. Install Minio in Chroot
```sh
mkdir -p /mnt/export/${USER}/bin
wget https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio -O /mnt/export/${USER}/bin/minio
chmod +x /mnt/export/${USER}/bin/minio
```

Bind your `proc` mount to the target chroot directory
```
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/export/${USER}/proc
```

## 3. Run Standalone Minio in Chroot
### GNU/Linux
```sh
sudo chroot --userspec username:group /mnt/export/${USER} /bin/minio --config-dir=/.minio server /data
