This document explains how to configure MinIO server with TLS certificates on Kubernetes.

## 1. Prerequisites

- Familiarity with [MinIO deployment process on Kubernetes](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/installation.html).

- Kubernetes cluster with `kubectl` configured.

- [Understand the KES server concepts](https://github.com/minio/kes/wiki/Concepts)

## Auto Encryption

- `aws:PrincipalType` - This value indicates whether the principal is an account (Root credential), user (MinIO user), or assumed role (STS)
- `aws:SecureTransport` - This is a Boolean value that represents whether the request was sent over TLS.
- `aws:SourceIp` - This is the requester's IP address, for use with IP address conditions. If running behind Nginx like proxies, MinIO preserve's the source IP.

```

### TLS (FTP)

Unlike SFTP server, FTP server is insecure by default. To operate under TLS mode, you need to provide certificates via

```
--ftp="tls-private-key=path/to/private.key" --ftp="tls-public-cert=path/to/public.crt"
```

> NOTE: if MinIO distributed setup is already configured to run under TLS, FTP will automatically use the relevant

- One or both of Veeam Backup and Replication with support for S3 compatible object store (e.g. 9.5.4) and Veeam Backup for Office365 (VBO)
- MinIO object storage set up per <https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html>
- Veeam requires TLS connections to the object storage.  This can be configured per <https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/network-encryption.html>
- The S3 bucket, Access Key and Secret Key have to be created before and outside of Veeam.

This guide explains how to configure MinIO Server with TLS certificates on Linux and Windows platforms.

1. [Install MinIO Server](#install-minio-server)

### 3. Compression + Encryption

Combining encryption and compression is not safe in all setups.
This is particularly so if the compression ratio of your content reveals information about it.
See [CRIME TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRIME) as an example of this.

Therefore, compression is disabled when encrypting by default, and must be enabled separately.
