Minio is an object storage server that is compatible with Amazon S3. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Minio on NetBSD.
Before you begin, make sure that you have:
Minio is not available in the NetBSD base system, so you'll need to use the pkgsrc package manager to install it. To install pkgsrc, run the following command as root:
$ cd /usr && git clone https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git
This will clone the pkgsrc repository into /usr/pkgsrc. Once the clone process has completed, update your PATH variable with the following command:
$ export PATH=/usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/bin:$PATH
To install Minio, use the following pkgsrc command as root:
$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/minio && make install clean
This will download and install Minio and its dependencies.
By default, Minio will run using the minio user account. You can start Minio by running:
$ /usr/pkg/sbin/minio server /var/minio/
This will start Minio with the default data directory of /var/minio/. If you want to use a different data directory, you can specify it using the --config-dir flag:
$ /usr/pkg/sbin/minio server --config-dir /mnt/minio/data
Minio listens on port 9000 by default, so you'll need to make sure that this port is open in your firewall. Once you've verified that everything is working, you can set up Minio as a service so that it starts automatically at boot time.
You now have Minio installed and running on NetBSD. Minio provides a powerful and easy-to-use object storage service that is compatible with Amazon S3, making it an ideal choice for storing and sharing large amounts of data.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
