Each node is responsible of healing its local drives; Each drive will have multiple heal workers which is the quarter of the number of CPU cores of the node or the quarter of the configured nr_requests of the drive (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt). It is also possible to provide a custom number of workers by using this command: `mc admin config set alias/ heal drive_workers=100` .


```
~ mc admin config set alias/ heal
KEY:

rsa-sha2-512
ssh-rsa
ssh-dss
```

`--sftp=kex-algos=...` specifies the supported key-exchange algorithms in preference order.

Valid values:

### Step 1: Ensure postgresql minimum requirements are met

MinIO requires PostgreSQL version 9.5 or above. MinIO uses the [`INSERT ON CONFLICT`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/sql-insert.html#SQL-ON-CONFLICT) (aka UPSERT) feature, introduced in version 9.5 and the [JSONB](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/datatype-json.html) data-type introduced in version 9.4.

### Step 2: Add PostgreSQL endpoint to MinIO

```sh
go install github.com/minio/minio@latest
```

### 3. Compression + Encryption

Combining encryption and compression is not safe in all setups.
This is particularly so if the compression ratio of your content reveals information about it.
See [CRIME TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRIME) as an example of this.

Therefore, compression is disabled when encrypting by default, and must be enabled separately.

Consult our security experts on [SUBNET](https://min.io/pricing) to help you evaluate if

- Servers running distributed MinIO instances should be less than 15 minutes apart. You can enable [NTP](http://www.ntp.org/) service as a best practice to ensure same times across servers.
- `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable should be defined and exported for bucket DNS style support.
