## Deployment Recommendations

### Allow port access for Firewalls

By default MinIO uses the port 9000 to listen for incoming connections. If your platform blocks the port by default, you may need to enable access to the port.

### ufw

### Expanding existing distributed setup

MinIO supports expanding distributed erasure coded clusters by specifying new set of clusters on the command-line as shown below:

## Get Started

### 1. Prerequisites

Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#quickstart-for-linux).

### 2. Run MinIO with compression

Compression can be enabled by updating the `compress` config settings for MinIO server config.
Config `compress` settings take extensions and mime-types to be compressed.

```bash
~ mc admin config get myminio compression

## Content-Type

- console
- http

### Logging Console Target

Console target is on always and cannot be disabled.

### Logging HTTP Target

HTTP target logs to a generic HTTP endpoint in JSON format and is not enabled by default. To enable HTTP target logging you would have to update your MinIO server configuration using `mc admin config set` command.

Assuming `mc` is already [configured](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart)
