```
export MINIO_PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TYPE="public"
minio server ~/test
```

### 3. Configuring Prometheus

#### 3.1 Authenticated Prometheus config

> If MinIO is configured to expose metrics without authentication, you don't need to use `mc` to generate prometheus config. You can skip reading further and move to 3.2 section.

                "NoncurrentDays": 30
            }
        }
    ]
}
```

This JSON rule is equivalent to the following MinIO Client command:
```
mc ilm rule add --noncurrent-expire-days 30 --noncurrent-expire-newer 5 myminio/mydata
```

#### 3.2.a Automatic removal of noncurrent versions keeping only most recent ones immediately (MinIO only extension)

[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. Create, explore, and share dashboards with your team and foster a data driven culture.

## Prerequisites

- `aws:groups` - This is an array containing the group names, this value would point to group mappings for the user, use `jwt:groups` in case of OpenID connect and `ldap:groups` in case of AD/LDAP.

- [MinIO STS Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/developers/security-token-service.html)

Example:

```sh
export MINIO_DOMAIN=mydomain.com
minio server /data
```

For advanced use cases `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable supports multiple-domains with comma separated values.

```sh
export MINIO_DOMAIN=sub1.mydomain.com,sub2.mydomain.com
minio server /data
```

### 2. Set the MinIO-KES configuration

```sh
export MINIO_KMS_KES_ENDPOINT=https://play.min.io:7373
export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_FILE=root.key
export MINIO_KMS_KES_CERT_FILE=root.cert
export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_NAME=my-minio-key
```

### 3. Start the MinIO Server

```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=minio
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minio123
minio server ~/export
```

Example: Limit a MinIO cluster to accept at max 1600 simultaneous S3 API requests across 8 servers, and set the wait deadline of *2 minutes* per API operation.

```sh
export MINIO_API_REQUESTS_MAX=1600
export MINIO_API_REQUESTS_DEADLINE=2m
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=your-access-key
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=your-secret-key
minio server http://server{1...8}/mnt/hdd{1...16}
```

or

```sh

- *MINIO_NTP_SERVER* environment variable can be set to remote NTP server endpoint if system time is not desired for setting retention dates.

To monitor the resources used by MinIO container, you can use the [`docker stats`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/stats/) command.

```sh
docker stats <container_id>
```

```bash
helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml minio/minio
```

### Persistence

This chart provisions a PersistentVolumeClaim and mounts corresponding persistent volume to default location `/export`. You'll need physical storage available in the Kubernetes cluster for this to work. If you'd rather use `emptyDir`, disable PersistentVolumeClaim by:

```bash
helm install --set persistence.enabled=false minio/minio
```
