Harshavardhana 55dd017e62 Deprecate auto detection of container user (#7930)
There is no reliable way to handle fallbacks for
MinIO deployments, due to various command line
options and multiple locations which require
access inside container.

Parsing command line options is tricky to figure
out which is the backend disk etc, we did try
to fix this in implementations of check-user.go
but it wasn't complete and introduced more bugs.

This PR simplifies the entire approach to rather
than running Docker container as non-root by default
always, it allows users to opt-in. Such that they
are aware that that is what they are planning to do.

In-fact there are other ways docker containers can
be run as regular users, without modifying our
internal behavior and adding more complexities.

MinIO Quickstart Guide

Slack Go Report Card Docker Pulls

MinIO is an object storage server released under Apache License v2.0. It is compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. It is best suited for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups and container / VM images. Size of an object can range from a few KBs to a maximum of 5TB.

MinIO server is light enough to be bundled with the application stack, similar to NodeJS, Redis and MySQL.

Docker Container

Stable

docker pull minio/minio
docker run -p 9000:9000 minio/minio server /data

Edge

docker pull minio/minio:edge
docker run -p 9000:9000 minio/minio:edge server /data

Note: Docker will not display the autogenerated keys unless you start the container with the -it(interactive TTY) argument. Generally, it is not recommended to use autogenerated keys with containers. Please visit MinIO Docker quickstart guide for more information here

macOS

Homebrew

Install minio packages using Homebrew

brew install minio/stable/minio
minio server /data

NOTE: If you previously installed minio using brew install minio then it is recommended that you reinstall minio from minio/stable/minio official repo instead.

brew uninstall minio
brew install minio/stable/minio

Allow port access for Firewalls

By default MinIO uses the port 9000 to listen for incoming connections. If your platform blocks the port by default, you may need to enable access to the port.

iptables

For hosts with iptables enabled (RHEL, CentOS, etc), you can use iptables command to enable all traffic coming to specific ports. Use below command to allow access to port 9000

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT
service iptables restart

Below command enables all incoming traffic to ports ranging from 9000 to 9010.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9000:9010 -j ACCEPT
service iptables restart

ufw

For hosts with ufw enabled (Debian based distros), you can use ufw command to allow traffic to specific ports. Use below command to allow access to port 9000

ufw allow 9000

Below command enables all incoming traffic to ports ranging from 9000 to 9010.

ufw allow 9000:9010/tcp

firewall-cmd

For hosts with firewall-cmd enabled (CentOS), you can use firewall-cmd command to allow traffic to specific ports. Use below commands to allow access to port 9000

firewall-cmd --get-active-zones

This command gets the active zone(s). Now, apply port rules to the relevant zones returned above. For example if the zone is public, use

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9000/tcp --permanent

Note that permanent makes sure the rules are persistent across firewall start, restart or reload. Finally reload the firewall for changes to take effect.

firewall-cmd --reload

Test using MinIO Browser

MinIO Server comes with an embedded web based object browser. Point your web browser to http://127.0.0.1:9000 ensure your server has started successfully.

Screenshot

Test using MinIO Client mc

mc provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands like ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff etc. It supports filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage services. Follow the MinIO Client Quickstart Guide for further instructions.

Pre-existing data

When deployed on a single drive, MinIO server lets clients access any pre-existing data in the data directory. For example, if MinIO is started with the command minio server /mnt/data, any pre-existing data in the /mnt/data directory would be accessible to the clients.

The above statement is also valid for all gateway backends.
