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

MinIO requires MySQL version 5.7.8 or above. MinIO uses the [JSON](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/json.html) data-type introduced in version 5.7.8. We tested this setup on MySQL 5.7.17.

### Step 2: Add MySQL server endpoint configuration to MinIO

`--sftp=cipher-algos=...` specifies the allowed cipher algorithms. 
If unspecified then a sensible default is used.
