From that individual connections will be spawned to each remote server, 
or incoming requests will be hooked up to the appropriate connection.

To get a connection to a specific server, use `Manager.Connection(host)` to get a connection to the specified host.
From this connection individual requests can be made.

Each handler, with optional subroutes can be registered with the manager using 
`Manager.RegisterXHandler(handlerID, handler, subroutes...)`.

```

Here `prometheus.yml` is the name of configuration file. You can now see MinIO metrics in Prometheus dashboard. By default Prometheus dashboard is accessible at `http://localhost:9090`.

```

To create a MinIO container with persistent storage, you need to map local persistent directories from the host OS to virtual config. To do this, run the below commands

### GNU/Linux and macOS

```sh
mkdir -p ~/minio/data

docker run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name minio1 \
  -v ~/minio/data:/data \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \

### 1.1 Host Multiple Tenants on a Single Drive

Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on a single drive:

```sh
minio server --address :9001 /data/tenant1
minio server --address :9002 /data/tenant2
minio server --address :9003 /data/tenant3
```

![Example-1](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/screenshots/Example-1.jpg?raw=true)

                                                                └─────────┘
```

In a given setup, there are `n` MinIO instances talking to `m` KES servers but only `1` central KMS. The most simple setup consists of `1` MinIO server or cluster talking to `1` KMS via `1` KES server.

mc alias set minio3 https://minio3.example.com:9000 adminuser adminpassword
```

or

```sh
export MC_HOST_minio1=https://adminuser:******@****.***
export MC_HOST_minio2=https://adminuser:******@****.***
export MC_HOST_minio3=https://adminuser:******@****.***
```

- Add site replication configuration with:

```sh

hosts passed to the MinIO server startup and use them for DNS entries.

### Run Multiple Clusters

> cluster1

```sh
export MINIO_ETCD_ENDPOINTS="http://remote-etcd1:2379,http://remote-etcd2:4001"
export MINIO_DOMAIN=domain.com
export MINIO_PUBLIC_IPS=44.35.2.1,44.35.2.2,44.35.2.3,44.35.2.4
minio server http://rack{1...4}.host{1...4}.domain.com/mnt/export{1...32}
```

> cluster2

Endpoint:  http://192.168.1.92:9000  http://65.19.167.92:9000
AccessKey: MVPSPBW4NP2CMV1W3TXD
SecretKey: X3RKxEeFOI8InuNWoPsbG+XEVoaJVCqbvxe+PTOa
...
...
```

Instance is now accessible on the host at port 9000, proceed to access the Web browser at <http://127.0.0.1:9000/>

Docker Compose allows defining and running single host, multi-container Docker applications.

```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=<ACCESS_KEY>
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=<SECRET_KEY>
minio server http://host{1...n}/export{1...m} http://host{o...z}/export{1...m}
```

For example:

```
minio server http://host{1...4}/export{1...16} http://host{5...12}/export{1...16}
```
