## Creating a hotfix branch

Customers in MinIO are allowed LTS on any release they choose to standardize. Production setups seldom change and require maintenance. Hotfix branches are such maintenance branches that allow customers to operate a production cluster without drastic changes to their deployment.

## Backporting a fix

Developer is advised to clone the MinIO source and checkout the MinIO release tag customer is currently on.

```

}

// checkMetacacheState should be used if data is not updating.
// Should only be called if a failure occurred.
func (o listPathOptions) checkMetacacheState(ctx context.Context, rpc *peerRESTClient) error {
	// We operate on a copy...
	o.Create = false
	c, err := rpc.GetMetacacheListing(ctx, o)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	cache := *c

	if cache.status == scanStateNone || cache.fileNotFound {

### Change default SFTP port

Default port '8022' can be changed via

```
--sftp="address=:3022"
```

### TLS (FTP)

Unlike SFTP server, FTP server is insecure by default. To operate under TLS mode, you need to provide certificates via

```
--ftp="tls-private-key=path/to/private.key" --ftp="tls-public-cert=path/to/public.crt"
```

// No Op for Operator because operator deals on with bucket entries
func (c *OperatorDNS) DeleteRecord(record SrvRecord) error {
	return ErrNotImplemented
}

// Close closes the internal http client
func (c *OperatorDNS) Close() error {
	return nil
}

// List - Retrieves list of DNS entries for the domain.
// This is a No Op for Operator because, there is no intent to enforce global

## Run Distributed MinIO on Containers

We recommend kubernetes based deployment for production level deployment <https://github.com/minio/operator>.

See the [Kubernetes documentation](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/index.html) for more information.
