## Privileges required

### 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
```

### 3. Configuring Prometheus

## Deployment Recommendations

### Allow port access for Firewalls

By default MinIO uses the port 9000 to listen for incoming connections. If your platform blocks the port by default, you may need to enable access to the port.

### ufw

For hosts with ufw enabled (Debian based distros), you can use `ufw` command to allow traffic to specific ports. Use below command to allow access to port 9000

```sh
ufw allow 9000

### Additional test templates

A number of helm test setups are general-purpose and should be installable in any cluster, to confirm

your setup can use this feature combination safely.

To enable compression+encryption use:

```bash
~ mc admin config set myminio compression allow_encryption=on
```

Or alternatively through the environment variable `MINIO_COMPRESSION_ALLOW_ENCRYPTION=on`.

### 4. Excluded Types

- Already compressed objects are not fit for compression since they do not have compressible patterns.
