### 2. Configure authentication type for Prometheus metrics

MinIO supports two authentication modes for Prometheus either `jwt` or `public`, by default MinIO runs in `jwt` mode. To allow public access without authentication for prometheus metrics set environment as follows.

```
export MINIO_PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TYPE="public"
minio server ~/test
```

- Greater than or equal to 2, if `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity is not set.
- Greater than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity, if it is set.

Parity blocks can not be higher than data blocks, so `STANDARD` storage class parity can not be higher than N/2. (N being total number of drives)

The default value for the `STANDARD` storage class depends on the number of volumes in the erasure set:

| Erasure Set Size | Default Parity (EC:N) |

export MINIO_COMPRESSION_MIME_TYPES="text/*,application/json,application/xml"
```

> [!NOTE]
> To enable compression for all content when using environment variables, set either or both of the extensions and MIME types to `*` instead of an empty string:
> ```bash
> export MINIO_COMPRESSION_ENABLE="on"
> export MINIO_COMPRESSION_EXTENSIONS="*"
> export MINIO_COMPRESSION_MIME_TYPES="*"
> ```
