# MinIO NAS Gateway [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)
MinIO Gateway adds Amazon S3 compatibility to NAS storage. You may run multiple minio instances on the same shared NAS volume as a distributed object gateway.
## Run MinIO Gateway for NAS Storage
### Using Docker
Please ensure to replace `/shared/nasvol` with actual mount path.
```
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name nas-s3 \
-e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=minio" \
-e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=minio123" \
-v /shared/nasvol:/container/vol \
minio/minio gateway nas /container/vol
```
### Using Binary
```
export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=minio
export MINIO_SECRET_KEY=minio123
minio gateway nas /shared/nasvol
```
## Test using MinIO Browser
MinIO Gateway comes with an embedded web based object browser. Point your web browser to http://127.0.0.1:9000 to ensure that your server has started successfully.

## Test using MinIO Client `mc`
`mc` provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands such as ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff etc. It supports filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage services.
### Configure `mc`
```
mc config host add mynas http://gateway-ip:9000 access_key secret_key
```
### List buckets on nas
```
mc ls mynas
[2017-02-22 01:50:43 PST] 0B ferenginar/
[2017-02-26 21:43:51 PST] 0B my-bucket/
[2017-02-26 22:10:11 PST] 0B test-bucket1/
```
## Breaking changes
There will be a breaking change after the release version 'RELEASE.2020-06-22T03-12-50Z'.
### The file-based config settings are deprecated in NAS
The support for admin config APIs will be removed. This will include getters and setters like `mc admin config get` and `mc admin config` and any other `mc admin config` options. The reason for this change is to avoid un-necessary reloads of the config from the disk. And to comply with the Environment variable based settings like other gateways.
### Migration guide
The users who have been using the older config approach should migrate to ENV settings by setting environment variables accordingly.
For example,
Consider the following webhook target config.
```
notify_webhook:1 endpoint=http://localhost:8080/ auth_token= queue_limit=0 queue_dir=/tmp/webhk client_cert= client_key=
```
The corresponding environment variable setting can be
```
export MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_ENABLE_1=on
export MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT_1=http://localhost:8080/
export MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_QUEUE_DIR_1=/tmp/webhk
```
> NOTE: Please check the docs for the corresponding ENV setting. Alternatively, We can obtain other ENVs in the form `mc admin config set alias/ <sub-sys> --env`
