MinIO supports any MQTT server that supports MQTT 3.1 or 3.1.1 and can connect to them over TCP, TLS, or a Websocket connection using `tcp://`, `tls://`, or `ws://` respectively as the scheme for the broker url. See the [Go Client](http://www.eclipse.org/paho/clients/golang/) documentation for more information.

> **NOTE:** `{1...n}` shown have 3 dots! Using only 2 dots `{1..n}` will be interpreted by your shell and won't be passed to MinIO server, affecting the erasure coding order, which would impact performance and high availability. **Always use ellipses syntax `{1...n}` (3 dots!) for optimal erasure-code distribution**
