# MinIO Server Throttling Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io) [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/minio/minio.svg?maxAge=604800)](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/)

MinIO server allows to throttle incoming requests:

- limit the number of active requests allowed across the cluster
- limit the wait duration for each request in the queue

Certificates are no secrets and sent in plaintext as part of the TLS handshake.

```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=minio
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minio13
minio server /data
```

#### Site

```
KEY:
site  label the server and its location

ARGS:
name     (string)    name for the site e.g. "cal-rack0"
region   (string)    name of the location of the server e.g. "us-west-1"
comment  (sentence)  optionally add a comment to this setting
```

or environment variables

  -v /mnt/data:/data \
  quay.io/minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"
```

#### Windows (custom access and secret keys)

```powershell
docker run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name minio1 \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY" \
  -v D:\data:/data \
  quay.io/minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"
```

- *MINIO_NTP_SERVER* environment variable can be set to remote NTP server endpoint if system time is not desired for setting retention dates.

A subroute on a client must match a subroute on the server. So routes cannot be used for dynamic routing, unlike HTTP.

Handlers should remain backwards compatible. If a breaking API change is required, a new handler ID should be created.

## Setup & Configuration

A **Manager** is used to manage all incoming and outgoing connections to a server.

On startup all remote servers must be specified. 

port: 14226
net: localhost

tls {
    cert_file:  "./testdata/contrib/certs/nats_server_cert.pem"
    key_file:   "./testdata/contrib/certs/nats_server_key.pem"
    ca_file:   "./testdata/contrib/certs/root_ca_cert.pem"
    verify_and_map: true
}
authorization {
    ADMIN = {
        publish = ">"
        subscribe = ">"
    }
    users = [
        {user: "CN=localhost,OU=Client,O=MinIO,C=CA", permissions: $ADMIN}
    ]

list of IAM access policy names already defined in the server. In this situation, the server prints a role ARN at startup that must be specified as a `RoleArn` API request parameter in the STS AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity API call. When using Role Policies, multiple OpenID providers and/or client applications (with unique client IDs) may be configured with independent role policies. Each configuration is assigned a unique RoleARN by the MinIO server and this is used to select the policies to apply to temporary...
