### Advanced K8s resource overlays

Advanced users may occasionally have the need to customize parameters (like container command line flags) which are not

## Install from Source

Use the following commands to compile and run a standalone MinIO server from source. Source installation is only intended for developers and advanced users. If you do not have a working Golang environment, please follow [How to install Golang](https://golang.org/doc/install). Minimum version required is [go1.21](https://golang.org/dl/#stable)

```sh

```sh
$ mc tree --files ~/.minio
/home/user1/.minio
└─ certs
   ├─ CAs
   ├─ private.key
   └─ public.crt
```

You can provide a custom certs directory using `--certs-dir` command line option.

#### Credentials

On MinIO admin credentials or root credentials are only allowed to be changed using ENVs namely `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD`.

```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=minio
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minio13

Download and decompress the Windows version of GnuTLS from [here](http://www.gnutls.org/download.html).

Use PowerShell to add the path of the extracted GnuTLS binary to the system path:

```
setx path "%path%;C:\Users\MyUser\Downloads\gnutls-3.4.9-w64\bin"
```

**Note:** PowerShell may need to be restarted for this change to take effect.
