# Compression Guide [](https://slack.min.io)
|
|
|
|
MinIO server allows streaming compression to ensure efficient disk space usage. Compression happens inflight, i.e objects are compressed before being written to disk(s). MinIO uses [`klauspost/compress/s2`](https://github.com/klauspost/compress/tree/master/s2) streaming compression due to its stability and performance.
|
|
|
|
This algorithm is specifically optimized for machine generated content. Write throughput is typically at least 300MB/s per CPU core. Decompression speed is typically at least 1GB/s.
|
|
This means that in cases where raw IO is below these numbers compression will not only reduce disk usage but also help increase system throughput.
|
|
Typically enabling compression on spinning disk systems will increase speed when the content can be compressed.
|
|
|
|
## Get Started
|
|
|
|
### 1. Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-quickstart-guide).
|
|
|
|
### 2. Run MinIO with compression
|
|
|
|
Compression can be enabled by updating the `compress` config settings for MinIO server config. Config `compress` settings take extensions and mime-types to be compressed.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ mc admin config get myminio compression
|
|
compression extensions=".txt,.log,.csv,.json,.tar,.xml,.bin" mime_types="text/*,application/json,application/xml" state="off"```
|
|
|
|
Default config includes most common highly compressible content extensions and mime-types.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ mc admin config set myminio compression extensions=".pdf" mime_types="application/pdf" state="on"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To enable compression for all content, except for types listed below:
|
|
```
|
|
~ mc admin config set myminio compression extensions="" mime_types="" state="on"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The compression settings may also be set through environment variables. When set, environment variables override the defined `compress` config settings in the server config.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export MINIO_COMPRESS="on"
|
|
export MINIO_COMPRESS_EXTENSIONS=".pdf,.doc"
|
|
export MINIO_COMPRESS_MIME_TYPES="application/pdf"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Note
|
|
|
|
- Already compressed objects are not fit for compression since they do not have compressible patterns. Such objects do not produce efficient [`LZ compression`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ77_and_LZ78) which is a fitness factor for a lossless data compression. Below is a list of common files and content-types which are not suitable for compression.
|
|
|
|
- Extensions
|
|
|
|
| `gz` | (GZIP)
|
|
| `bz2` | (BZIP2)
|
|
| `rar` | (WinRAR)
|
|
| `zip` | (ZIP)
|
|
| `7z` | (7-Zip)
|
|
| `xz` | (LZMA)
|
|
| `mp4` | (MP4)
|
|
| `mkv` | (MKV media)
|
|
| `mov` | (MOV)
|
|
|
|
- Content-Types
|
|
|
|
| `video/*` |
|
|
| `audio/*` |
|
|
| `application/zip` |
|
|
| `application/x-gzip` |
|
|
| `application/zip` |
|
|
| `application/x-bz2` |
|
|
| `application/x-compress` |
|
|
| `application/x-xz` |
|
|
|
|
All files with these extensions and mime types are excluded from compression, even if compression is enabled for all types.
|
|
|
|
- MinIO does not support encryption with compression because compression and encryption together potentially enables room for side channel attacks like [`CRIME and BREACH`](https://blog.minio.io/c-e-compression-encryption-cb6b7f04a369)
|
|
|
|
- MinIO does not support compression for Gateway (Azure/GCS/NAS) implementations.
|
|
|
|
## To test the setup
|
|
|
|
To test this setup, practice put calls to the server using `mc` and use `mc ls` on the data directory to view the size of the object.
