MinIO

Bucket replication to remote MinIO instance

Use mcli to create aliases for the local and remote instances.

mcli alias set nas-local http://localhost:9000 username password
mcli alias set nas-remote http://ip.addr:9000 username password

Add configuration rule on source bucket for nas-local to nas-remote to replicate all operations in an active-active replication setup.

mcli replicate add nas-local/sourcebucket --remote-bucket nas-remote/targetbucket --priority 1

Show replication status.

mcli replicate status nas-local/sourcebucket

FreeBSD setup

Create a ZFS dataset to store MinIO data:

sudo zfs create naspool/minio_data

Install the MinIO package:

sudo pkg install -y minio

Configure the MinIO daemon settings in /etc/rc.conf:

minio_enable="YES"
minio_disks="/naspool/minio_data"

Set the required permissions on /naspool/minio_data:

sudo chown -R minio:minio /naspool/minio_data
sudo chmod u+rxw /naspool/minio_data

Start the MinIO daemon:

sudo service minio start

Check the logs for any important info:

sudo grep "minio" /var/log/messages
