See our web documentation on [Deploying MinIO in Standalone Mode](Deploy Standalone MinIO in a Container) for a more structured tutorial on deploying MinIO in a container.

## Prerequisites

Docker installed on your machine. Download the relevant installer from [here](https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download).

## Run Standalone MinIO on Docker

MinIO is a High Performance Object Storage released under GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. It is API compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. Use MinIO to build high performance infrastructure for machine learning, analytics and application data workloads.

1. [Standalone Deployment](#standalone-deployment)
2. [Distributed Deployment](#distributed-deployment)
3. [Cloud Scale Deployment](#cloud-scale-deployment)

## 1. Standalone Deployment

To host multiple tenants on a single machine, run one MinIO Server per tenant with a dedicated HTTPS port, configuration, and data directory.

### 1.1 Host Multiple Tenants on a Single Drive

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

```sh

Chroot allows user based namespace isolation on many standard Linux deployments.

## 1. Prerequisites

- Familiarity with [chroot](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/chroot.2.html)
- Chroot installed on your machine.

## 2. Install MinIO in Chroot

```sh
mkdir -p /mnt/export/${USER}/bin
wget https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio -O /mnt/export/${USER}/bin/minio
chmod +x /mnt/export/${USER}/bin/minio
```

### Create a backup job

#### Backup Virtual Machines with Veeam Backup and Replication

- Under Home > Jobs > Backup in Navigation Pane, click on Backup Job button in the ribbon and choose Virtual Machine. Follow the on screen wizard.

- On the Storage screen, choose the Scale-out Backup Repository that was configured previously.

        <!-- .. up to 10 prefixes in all -->
</VersioningConfiguration>
```

### Features

- Objects matching these prefixes will behave as though versioning were suspended. These objects **will not** be replicated if bucket has replication configured.
- Objects matching these prefixes will also not leave `null` delete markers, dramatically reduces namespace pollution while keeping the benefits of replication.

### Interaction with extended Bucket Versioning configuration

When Bucket Versioning with excluded prefixes are configured objects matching these prefixes are excluded from being versioned and replicated.

```
<VersioningConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
        <Status>Enabled</Status>

cat > testobject << EOF

```

Upload this object to the bucket via `mc cp`
```
mc cp testobject myminio/functionbucket/
```

## 1. Prerequisites

* Familiarity with [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/overview/).
* Docker installed on your machine. Download the relevant installer from [here](https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download).

## 2. Run Distributed MinIO on Docker Compose
