feat: distributed setup can start now with default credentials (#12303)
In lieu of new changes coming for server command line, this
change is to deprecate strict requirement for distributed setups
to provide root credentials.

Bonus: remove MINIO_WORM warning from April 2020, it is time to
remove this warning.

# MinIO Multi-Tenant Deployment Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io) [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/minio/minio.svg?maxAge=604800)](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/)
This topic provides commands to set up different configurations of hosts, nodes, and drives. The examples provided here can be used as a starting point for other configurations.
1. [Standalone Deployment](#standalone-deployment)
2. [Distributed Deployment](#distributed-deployment)
3. [Cloud Scale Deployment](#cloud-scale-deployment)
## <a name="standalone-deployment"></a>1. Standalone Deployment
To host multiple tenants on a single machine, run one MinIO Server per tenant with a dedicated HTTPS port, configuration, and data directory.
### 1.1 Host Multiple Tenants on a Single Drive
Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on a single drive:
```sh
minio server --address :9001 /data/tenant1
minio server --address :9002 /data/tenant2
minio server --address :9003 /data/tenant3
```
![Example-1](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/screenshots/Example-1.jpg?raw=true)
### 1.2 Host Multiple Tenants on Multiple Drives (Erasure Code)
Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on multiple drives:
```sh
minio server --address :9001 /disk{1...4}/data/tenant1
minio server --address :9002 /disk{1...4}/data/tenant2
minio server --address :9003 /disk{1...4}/data/tenant3
```
![Example-2](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/screenshots/Example-2.jpg?raw=true)
## <a name="distributed-deployment"></a>2. Distributed Deployment
To host multiple tenants in a distributed environment, run several distributed MinIO Server instances concurrently.
### 2.1 Host Multiple Tenants on Multiple Drives (Erasure Code)
Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on a 4-node distributed configuration:
```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=<TENANT1_ACCESS_KEY>
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=<TENANT1_SECRET_KEY>
minio server --address :9001 http://192.168.10.1{1...4}/data/tenant1
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=<TENANT2_ACCESS_KEY>
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=<TENANT2_SECRET_KEY>
minio server --address :9002 http://192.168.10.1{1...4}/data/tenant2
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=<TENANT3_ACCESS_KEY>
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=<TENANT3_SECRET_KEY>
minio server --address :9003 http://192.168.10.1{1...4}/data/tenant3
```
**Note:** Execute the commands on all 4 nodes.
![Example-3](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/screenshots/Example-3.jpg?raw=true)
**Note**: On distributed systems, root credentials are recommend to be defined by exporting the `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD` environment variables. If no value is set MinIO setup will assume `minioadmin/minioadmin` as default credentials. If a domain is required, it must be specified by defining and exporting the `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable.
## <a name="cloud-scale-deployment"></a>Cloud Scale Deployment
A container orchestration platform (e.g. Kubernetes) is recommended for large-scale, multi-tenant MinIO deployments. See the [MinIO Deployment Quickstart Guide](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-deployment-quickstart-guide) to get started with MinIO on orchestration platforms.
