How to Install Minio on Fedora CoreOS

Introduction

Minio is an open-source object storage resource, built with a distributed design that can easily handle petabytes of data. It's an Amazon S3-compatible storage option that can be used with any language or application.

Fedora CoreOS is a container-centric operating system that has minimalizing features with an automatic update system.

In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to install Minio on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
• A user account with sudo privileges.
• A terminal command prompt.

Step 1 - Update the latest packages

It's crucial to first update the system's packages to ensure compatibility with Minio. To do so, use the following command:

$ sudo dnf update -y

Step 2 - Download Minio's binary file

Next, download the Minio binary file using the wget command. Update the command with the latest version of Minio.

$ wget https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio

Step 3 - Grant permissions to the binary file

Make the Minio binary file executable, with the following command:

$ chmod +x minio

Step 4 - Create a Minio service file

To run Minio as a service on Fedora CoreOS, you must create a systemd service file. Create one, using the following command:

$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/minio.service

Add the following content to the file.

[Unit]
Description=minio
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=root
Group=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/minio server --address 0.0.0.0:9000 /minio

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save the file and exit.

Step 5 - Reload systemd

After creating the Minio service file, reload systemd using the following command:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Step 6 - Start Minio's service

We can now start the Minio service using the following command:

$ sudo systemctl start minio.service

Step 7 - Check Minio service status

Check the status of the Minio service to ensure it is running correctly, by using the following command:

$ sudo systemctl status minio.service

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Minio on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. It's crucial to first update the latest operating system packages. Next, download the latest version of Minio binary and grant it executable permissions.

Then create a systemd service file to run Minio as a service. Finally, reload systemd and start the Minio service.

You now have a fully operational Minio on your Fedora CoreOS system. Happy object storage!
