See our web documentation on [Deploying MinIO in Standalone Mode](Deploy Standalone MinIO in a Container) for a more structured tutorial on deploying MinIO in a container.

## Prerequisites

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

## Run Standalone MinIO on Docker

MinIO is a High Performance Object Storage released under GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. It is API compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. Use MinIO to build high performance infrastructure for machine learning, analytics and application data workloads.

| IMPORTANT |
| -------------------------- |

It can be configured via MinIO's standard configuration API (i.e. using `mc admin config set/get`), or equivalently with environment variables. For brevity we show only environment variables here:

```sh

1. [Standalone Deployment](#standalone-deployment)
2. [Distributed Deployment](#distributed-deployment)
3. [Cloud Scale Deployment](#cloud-scale-deployment)

## 1. Standalone Deployment

To host multiple tenants on a single machine, run one MinIO Server per tenant with a dedicated HTTPS port, configuration, and data directory.

### 1.1 Host Multiple Tenants on a Single Drive

Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on a single drive:

```sh

# Patterns to ignore when building packages.
# This supports shell glob matching, relative path matching, and
# negation (prefixed with !). Only one pattern per line.
.DS_Store
# Common VCS dirs
.git/
.gitignore
.bzr/
.bzrignore
.hg/
.hgignore
.svn/
# Common backup files
*.swp
*.bak
*.tmp
*~
# Various IDEs
.project
.idea/
*.tmproj
# OWNERS file for Kubernetes

    on his policy is granted more privileges than restricted
    by the users IAM policy.

    This is due to an issue of prefix based Matcher() function
    which was incorrectly matching prefix based on resource
    prefixes instead of exact match.

Chroot allows user based namespace isolation on many standard Linux deployments.

## 1. Prerequisites

- Familiarity with [chroot](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/chroot.2.html)
- Chroot installed on your machine.

## 2. Install MinIO in Chroot

```sh
mkdir -p /mnt/export/${USER}/bin
wget https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio -O /mnt/export/${USER}/bin/minio
chmod +x /mnt/export/${USER}/bin/minio
```
