## Prerequisites

Docker installed on your machine. Download the relevant installer from [here](https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download).

## Run Standalone MinIO on Docker

By default, MinIO supports path-style requests that are of the format <http://mydomain.com/bucket/object>. `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable is used to enable virtual-host-style requests. If the request `Host` header matches with `(.+).mydomain.com` then the matched pattern `$1` is used as bucket and the path is used as object. Read more about path-style and virtual-host-style [here](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAPI.html).

Example:

```sh

![quota](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/bucket/quota/bucketquota.png)

Buckets can be configured to have `Hard` quota - it disallows writes to the bucket after configured quota limit is reached.

## Prerequisites

### 1. Prerequisites

- Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#quickstart-for-linux)
- Install `awscli` - [Installing AWS Command Line Interface](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-install.html)

### 2. Set bucket WORM configuration

MinIO server allows to throttle incoming requests:

- limit the number of active requests allowed across the cluster
- limit the wait duration for each request in the queue

For testing purposes, here is [how to create self-signed certificates](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/tls#3-generate-self-signed-certificates).

## 2. Create Kubernetes secret

[Kubernetes secrets](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret) are intended to hold sensitive information.
