### Starting and Stopping Containers

To start a stopped container, you can use the [`docker start`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/start/) command.

```sh
docker start <container_id>
```

To stop a running container, you can use the [`docker stop`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/stop/) command.

```sh
docker stop <container_id>
```

Certificates are no secrets and sent in plaintext as part of the TLS handshake.

It includes built in muxing of concurrent requests as well as congestion handling for streams.

Requests can be "Single Payload" or "Streamed".

Use the MinIO Grid for:

* Small, frequent requests with low latency requirements.
* Long-running requests with small/medium payloads.

Do *not* use the MinIO Grid for:

* Large payloads.

Only a single connection is ever made between two servers.

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.

The Prometheus endpoint in MinIO requires authentication by default. Prometheus supports a bearer token approach to authenticate prometheus scrape requests, override the default Prometheus config with the one generated using mc. To generate a Prometheus config for an alias, use [mc](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart)...

## Prerequisites

- Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#procedure).
- [Use `mc` with MinIO Server](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart)

## Set bucket quota configuration

### Set a hard quota of 1GB for a bucket `mybucket` on MinIO object storage

```sh

# Special characters for example : ',",<,>,{,}
MINIO_ACCESSKEY_SECRETKEY_TMP="/tmp/accessKey_and_secretKey_svcacct_tmp"

# connectToMinio
# Use a check-sleep-check loop to wait for MinIO service to be available
connectToMinio() {
  SCHEME=$1
  ATTEMPTS=0 ; LIMIT=29 ; # Allow 30 attempts
  set -e ; # fail if we can't read the keys.

  an older version you must use an `S3 API client` such as [`mc`](https://github.com/minio/mc).

- All features currently used by your buckets will work as is without any changes
  - SSE (Server Side Encryption)
  - Replication (Server Side Replication)

## Prerequisites

- It is assumed you have users created and configured with relevant access policies, to start with

## 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
minio server --address :9001 /data/tenant1
minio server --address :9002 /data/tenant2
minio server --address :9003 /data/tenant3
```
