### 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
```

## Storage usage

The selection of varying data and parity drives has a direct impact on the drive space usage. With storage class, you can optimize for high
redundancy or better drive space utilization.

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

## Get started

If you're aware of stand-alone MinIO set up, the process remains largely the same. MinIO server automatically switches to stand-alone or distributed mode, depending on the command line parameters.

### 1. Prerequisites

Install MinIO either on Kubernetes or Distributed Linux.

Install MinIO on Kubernetes:

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="*"
> ```
