# Introduction

This document outlines how to make hotfix binaries and containers for MinIO?. The main focus in this article is about how to backport patches to a specific branch and finally building binaries/containers.

## Pre-pre requisite

- A working knowledge of MinIO codebase and its various components.
- A working knowledge of AWS S3 API behaviors and corner cases.

## Pre-requisite for backporting any fixes

    if err == nil {
        fmt.Println("Got response with field", resp["result"])
    }
```

The wrapper will handle all serialization and de-seralization of the request and response,
and furthermore provides reuse of the structs used for the request and response.

Note that Responses sent for serialization are automatically reused for similar requests.

The command will generate the `scrape_configs` section of the prometheus.yml as follows:

##### Cluster

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: minio-job

### 1. Fetch the root identity

As the initial step, fetch the private key and certificate of the root identity:

```sh

FROM golang:1.21-alpine as build

ARG TARGETARCH
ARG RELEASE

ENV GOPATH /go
ENV CGO_ENABLED 0

# Install curl and minisign
RUN apk add -U --no-cache ca-certificates && \
    apk add -U --no-cache curl && \
    go install aead.dev/minisign/cmd/minisign@v0.2.1

# Download minio binary and signature file
RUN curl -s -q https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/linux-${TARGETARCH}/archive/minio.${RELEASE} -o /go/bin/minio && \

MC="/usr/bin/mc --insecure --config-dir ${MC_CONFIG_DIR}"
{{- else }}
MC="/usr/bin/mc --insecure"
{{- end }}

# AccessKey and secretkey credentials file are added to prevent shell execution errors caused by special characters.
# Special characters for example : ',",<,>,{,}
MINIO_ACCESSKEY_SECRETKEY_TMP="/tmp/accessKey_and_secretKey_svcacct_tmp"

# connectToMinio
# Use a check-sleep-check loop to wait for MinIO service to be available

To get an idea of how various combinations of data and parity drives affect the storage usage, let’s take an example of a 100 MiB file stored
on 16 drive MinIO deployment. If you use eight data and eight parity drives, the file space usage will be approximately twice, i.e. 100 MiB
file will take 200 MiB space. But, if you use ten data and six parity drives, same 100 MiB file takes around 160 MiB. If you use 14 data and

MinIO supports following FTP/SFTP based protocols to access and manage data.

- Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) – Defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an
  extended version of SSH 2.0, allowing file transfer over SSH and for use with Transport Layer
  Security (TLS) and VPN applications.

- File Transfer Protocol over SSL/TLS (FTPS) – Encrypted FTP communication via TLS certificates.

- Creation and deletion of buckets and objects
- Creation and deletion of all IAM users, groups, policies and their mappings to users or groups
- Creation of STS credentials
- Creation and deletion of service accounts (except those owned by the root user)
- Changes to Bucket features such as:
  - Bucket Policies
  - Bucket Tags

# MinIO Healthcheck

MinIO server exposes three un-authenticated, healthcheck endpoints liveness probe and a cluster probe at `/minio/health/live` and `/minio/health/cluster` respectively.

## Liveness probe

This probe always responds with '200 OK'. Only fails if 'etcd' is configured and unreachable. When liveness probe fails, Kubernetes like platforms restart the container.

```
livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /minio/health/live
    port: 9000
