# MinIO Server Config Guide [](https://slack.min.io) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/)
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Directory
|
|
|
|
MinIO stores all its config as part of the server deployment, config is erasure coded on MinIO. On a fresh deployment MinIO automatically generates a new `config` and this config is available to be configured via `mc admin config` command. MinIO also encrypts all the config, IAM and policies content if KMS is configured. Please refer to how to encrypt your config and IAM credentials [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/kms/IAM.md).
|
|
|
|
### Certificate Directory
|
|
|
|
TLS certificates by default are expected to be stored under ``${HOME}/.minio/certs`` directory. You need to place certificates here to enable `HTTPS` based access. Read more about [How to secure access to MinIO server with TLS](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/network-encryption.html).
|
|
|
|
Following is a sample directory structure for MinIO server with TLS certificates.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ mc tree --files ~/.minio
|
|
/home/user1/.minio
|
|
└─ certs
|
|
├─ CAs
|
|
├─ private.key
|
|
└─ public.crt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can provide a custom certs directory using `--certs-dir` command line option.
|
|
|
|
#### Credentials
|
|
|
|
On MinIO admin credentials or root credentials are only allowed to be changed using ENVs namely `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=minio
|
|
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minio13
|
|
minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

#### Etcd
|
|
|
|
MinIO supports storing encrypted IAM assets in etcd, if KMS is configured. Please refer to how to encrypt your config and IAM credentials [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/kms/IAM.md).
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: if *path_prefix* is set then MinIO will not federate your buckets, namespaced IAM assets are assumed as isolated tenants, only buckets are considered globally unique but performing a lookup with a *bucket* which belongs to a different tenant will fail unlike federated setups where MinIO would port-forward and route the request to relevant cluster accordingly. This is a special feature, federated deployments should not need to set *path_prefix*.
|
|
|
|
```

### API
|
|
|
|
By default, there is no limitation on the number of concurrent requests that a server/cluster processes at the same time. However, it is possible to impose such limitation using the API subsystem. Read more about throttling limitation in MinIO server [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/throttle/README.md).

This behavior is consistent across all keys; each key self-documents itself with valid examples.
|
|
|
|
## Dynamic systems without restarting server
|
|
|
|
The following sub-systems are dynamic i.e., configuration parameters for each sub-systems can be changed while the server is running without any restarts.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
api manage global HTTP API call specific features, such as throttling, authentication types, etc.
|
|
heal manage object healing frequency and bitrot verification checks
|
|
scanner manage namespace scanning for usage calculation, lifecycle, healing and more
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: if you set any of the following sub-system configuration using ENVs, dynamic behavior is not supported.
|
|
|
|
### Usage scanner
|
|
|
|
Data usage scanner is enabled by default. The following configuration settings allow for more staggered delay in terms of usage calculation. The scanner adapts to the system speed and completely pauses when the system is under load. It is possible to adjust the speed of the scanner and thereby the latency of updates being reflected. The delays between each operation of the scanner can be adjusted by the `mc admin config set alias/ delay=15.0`. By default the value is `10.0`. This means the scanner will sleep *10x* the time each operation takes.
|
|
|
|
In most setups this will keep the scanner slow enough to not impact overall system performance. Setting the `delay` key to a *lower* value will make the scanner faster and setting it to 0 will make the scanner run at full speed (not recommended in production). Setting it to a higher value will make the scanner slower, consuming less resources with the trade off of not collecting metrics for operations like healing and disk usage as fast.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~ mc admin config set alias/ scanner
|
|
KEY:
|
|
scanner manage namespace scanning for usage calculation, lifecycle, healing and more
|
|
|
|
ARGS:
|
|
delay (float) scanner delay multiplier, defaults to '10.0'
|
|
max_wait (duration) maximum wait time between operations, defaults to '15s'
|
|
cycle (duration) time duration between scanner cycles
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example: the following setting will decrease the scanner speed by a factor of 3, reducing the system resource use, but increasing the latency of updates being reflected.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
~ mc admin config set alias/ scanner delay=30.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once set the scanner settings are automatically applied without the need for server restarts.
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: Data usage scanner is not supported under Gateway deployments.
|
|
|
|
### Healing
|
|
|
|
Healing is enabled by default. The following configuration settings allow for more staggered delay in terms of healing. The healing system by default adapts to the system speed and pauses up to '1sec' per object when the system has `max_io` number of concurrent requests. It is possible to adjust the `max_sleep` and `max_io` values thereby increasing the healing speed. The delays between each operation of the healer can be adjusted by the `mc admin config set alias/ heal max_sleep=1s` and maximum concurrent requests allowed before we start slowing things down can be configured with `mc admin config set alias/ heal max_io=30` . By default the wait delay is `1sec` beyond 10 concurrent operations. This means the healer will sleep *1 second* at max for each heal operation if there are more than *10* concurrent client requests.
|
|
|
|
In most setups this is sufficient to heal the content after drive replacements. Setting `max_sleep` to a *lower* value and setting `max_io` to a *higher* value would make heal go faster.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~ mc admin config set alias/ heal
|
|
KEY:
|
|
heal manage object healing frequency and bitrot verification checks
|
|
|
|
ARGS:
|
|
bitrotscan (on|off) perform bitrot scan on disks when checking objects during scanner
|
|
max_sleep (duration) maximum sleep duration between objects to slow down heal operation. eg. 2s
|
|
max_io (int) maximum IO requests allowed between objects to slow down heal operation. eg. 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example: The following settings will increase the heal operation speed by allowing healing operation to run without delay up to `100` concurrent requests, and the maximum delay between each heal operation is set to `300ms`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
~ mc admin config set alias/ heal max_sleep=300ms max_io=100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once set the healer settings are automatically applied without the need for server restarts.
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: Healing is not supported for Gateway deployments.
|
|
|
|
## Environment only settings (not in config)
|
|
|
|
### Browser
|
|
|
|
Enable or disable access to console web UI. By default it is set to `on`. You may override this field with `MINIO_BROWSER` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export MINIO_BROWSER=off
|
|
minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Domain
|
|
|
|
By default, MinIO supports path-style requests that are of the format <http://mydomain.com/bucket/object>. `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable is used to enable virtual-host-style requests. If the request `Host` header matches with `(.+).mydomain.com` then the matched pattern `$1` is used as bucket and the path is used as object. Read more about path-style and virtual-host-style [here](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAPI.html).
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export MINIO_DOMAIN=mydomain.com
|
|
minio server /data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For advanced use cases `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable supports multiple-domains with comma separated values.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export MINIO_DOMAIN=sub1.mydomain.com,sub2.mydomain.com
|
|
minio server /data
|
|
```
