To create a MinIO container with persistent storage, you need to map local persistent directories from the host OS to virtual config. To do this, run the below commands

### GNU/Linux and macOS

```sh
mkdir -p ~/minio/data

docker run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name minio1 \

```

Use depth first search to traverse the created directory hierarchy when applying your YAML files. This is needed for
correct sequencing of dependencies. Child manifest directories must wait for their parent directory to be fully applied,
but not their sibling manifest directories.

#### Just apply it for me

The following command generates the manifests and applies them in the correct dependency order, waiting for the

see <https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/developers/minio-drivers.html> to view MinIO SDKs for supported languages.

> NOTE: To deploy MinIO on with persistent storage, you must map local persistent directories from the host OS to the container using the `podman -v` option. For example, `-v /mnt/data:/data` maps the host OS drive at `/mnt/data` to `/data` on the container.

## macOS

- **All the nodes running distributed MinIO setup are recommended to be homogeneous, i.e. same operating system, same number of drives and same network interconnects.**
- MinIO distributed mode requires **fresh directories**. If required, the drives can be shared with other applications. You can do this by using a sub-directory exclusive to MinIO. For example, if you have mounted your volume under `/export`, pass `/export/data` as arguments to MinIO server.
