Install and use Minio on DC/OS

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.

This installation uses the single node version of Minio (Minio FS), checkout the Minio docs for more details.

The instructions below use a pinned hostname constraint to ensure the application is always restarted on the same host by Marathon. This allows it to get back to its data but means that you could lose data if that agent goes down.

  • Estimated time for completion: less than 5 minutes.
  • Target audience:
  • Operators
  • Application admins
  • Developers
  • Devops Engineers
  • Scope: Learn to install Minio on DC/OS and learn to use it using minio command line tool mc.

Install Minio Client

Minio Client (mc) is a CLI tool which provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands like ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff etc, to operate on filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage service.

Click here for instructions on installing mc.

Configure Minio Client

mc config host add <ALIAS> <YOUR-S3-ENDPOINT> <YOUR-ACCESS-KEY> <YOUR-SECRET-KEY> <API-SIGNATURE>

Example: Create a new bucket named "my-bucket" on http://52.53.213.170:9000

mc config host add minio-dcos http://52.53.213.179:9000 2TT97MX8MWWZGCBWQULV mdXXJwo0bxO7XUfOuOMaUu255u0QKYsddEXjVBzd
mc mb minio-dcos/my-bucket
Bucket created successfully ‘minio-dcos/my-bucket’.
