Module: MINIO

MinIO is an S3-compatible multi-cloud object storage software, open-sourced under the AGPLv3 license.

MinIO can be used to store documents, images, videos, and backups. Pigsty natively supports deploying various MinIO clusters with native multi-node multi-disk high availability support, easy to scale, secure, and ready to use out of the box. It has been used in production environments at 10PB+ scale.

MinIO is an optional module in Pigsty. You can use MinIO as an optional storage repository for PostgreSQL backups, supplementing the default local POSIX filesystem repository. If using the MinIO backup repository, the MINIO module should be installed before any PGSQL modules. MinIO requires a trusted CA certificate to work, so it depends on the NODE module.

Quick Start

Here’s a simple example of MinIO single-node single-disk deployment:

# Define MinIO cluster in the config inventory
minio: { hosts: { 10.10.10.10: { minio_seq: 1 } }, vars: { minio_cluster: minio } }

./minio.yml -l minio    # Deploy MinIO module on the minio group

After deployment, you can access MinIO via:

• S3 API: https://sss.pigsty:9000 (requires DNS resolution for the domain)
• Web Console: https://<minio-ip>:9001 (default username/password: minioadmin / S3User.MinIO)
• Command Line: mcli ls sss/ (alias pre-configured on the admin node)

Deployment Modes

MinIO supports three major deployment modes:

Additionally, you can use multi-pool deployment to scale existing clusters, or deploy multiple clusters.
