Prometheus sets the `Host` header to `domain:port` as part of HTTP operations against the MinIO metrics endpoint. For MinIO deployments behind a load balancer, reverse proxy, or other control plane (HAProxy, nginx, pfsense, opnsense, etc.), ensure the network service supports routing these requests to the deployment.

# MinIO Erasure Code Quickstart Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

MinIO protects data against hardware failures and silent data corruption using erasure code and checksums. With the highest level of redundancy, you may lose up to half (N/2) of the total drives and still be able to recover the data.

## What is Erasure Code?

This protects against accidental overwrites or deletes of objects, allows previous versions to be retrieved.

When you DELETE an object, all versions remain in the bucket and MinIO adds a delete marker, as shown below:

MinIO strongly recommends *against* using compiled-from-source MinIO servers for production environments.

## Deployment Recommendations

### Allow port access for Firewalls

### Data protection
