### Run MinIO Docker as a regular user

Docker provides standardized mechanisms to run docker containers as non-root users.

#### GNU/Linux and macOS (regular user)

On Linux and macOS you can use `--user` to run the container as regular user.

> NOTE: make sure --user has write permission to *${HOME}/data* prior to using `--user`.

```sh
mkdir -p ${HOME}/data
docker run \

### GNU/Linux and macOS

```sh
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up
```

or

```sh
docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yaml minio
```

### Windows

```sh
docker-compose.exe pull
