How to Install Minio on OpenSUSE Latest

Minio is an open-source, high-performance object storage service that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. It is compatible with Amazon S3 and provides features like versioning, replication, and erasure coding. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Minio on OpenSUSE latest.

Prerequisites

• OpenSUSE latest installed on your computer.
• A user account with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Download Minio

First, you need to download the Minio binary from the official website. You can download it using the following command:

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

Step 2: Set Executable Permissions

After downloading the binary, set executable permissions using the following command:

$ chmod +x minio

Step 3: Create a Minio User

Create a dedicated Minio user and group using the following command:

$ sudo useradd minio-user -s /sbin/nologin -U -M

Step 4: Create a Data Directory

Create a directory where Minio will store its data:

$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/minio

Step 5: Start Minio Service

Start the Minio service as a systemd unit on OpenSUSE. To start the service, create a service file in the "/etc/systemd/system" directory using your text editor:

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

Add the following content to the file:

[Unit]
Description=Minio
After=network.target

[Service]
User=minio-user
Group=minio-user
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env ./minio server /var/lib/minio
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=minio

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Enable and Start Minio Service

Enable and start the Minio service with the following commands:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable minio.service
$ sudo systemctl start minio.service

Step 7: Configure Firewall

Open the Minio port 9000 on your firewall using the following command:

$ sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9000/tcp --permanent

Reload the firewall settings using:

$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 8: Access the Minio Web UI

Once the Minio service is started, open your web browser and go to "http://localhost:9000". You will be redirected to the Minio web UI where you can create buckets, upload and download files, and manage the storage system.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Minio on OpenSUSE latest. You can now start experimenting with Minio's features or use it in your production environment.

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!
