# Minio B2 Gateway [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io)
Minio Gateway adds Amazon S3 compatibility to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage.
## Run Minio Gateway for Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage
Please follow this [guide](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/quick_account.html) to create an account on backblaze.com to obtain your access credentials for B2 Cloud storage.
### Using Docker
```
docker run -p 9000:9000 --name b2-s3 \
-e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=b2_account_id" \
-e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=b2_application_key" \
minio/minio gateway b2
```
### Using Binary
```
export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=b2_account_id
export MINIO_SECRET_KEY=b2_application_key
minio gateway b2
```
## 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 myb2 http://gateway-ip:9000 b2_account_id b2_application_key
```
### List buckets on Backblaze B2
```
mc ls myb2

[2017-02-26 21:43:51 PST] 0B my-bucket/
[2017-02-26 22:10:11 PST] 0B test-bucket1/
```
### Known limitations
Gateway inherits the following B2 limitations:
- No support for CopyObject S3 API (There are no equivalent APIs available on Backblaze B2).
- No support for CopyObjectPart S3 API (There are no equivalent APIs available on Backblaze B2).
- Only read-only bucket policy supported at bucket level, all other variations will return API Notimplemented error.
- DeleteObject() might not delete the object right away on Backblaze B2, so you might see the object immediately after a Delete request.
Other limitations:
- Bucket notification APIs are not supported.
