## 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

## Replica Modification sync

The MinIO Security Token Service (STS) is an endpoint service that enables clients to request temporary credentials for MinIO resources. Temporary credentials work almost identically to default admin credentials, with some differences:

Explicitly set values have highest priority, then profile settings, then chart defaults.

As an implementation detail of profiles, the default values for the chart are all nested under `defaults`.
When configuring the chart, you should not include this.
That is, `--set some.field=true` should be passed, not `--set defaults.some.field=true`.

### Examples

#### Configuring mesh configuration settings

sftp>
```

## Advanced options

### Change default FTP port

Default port '8021' can be changed via

```
--ftp="address=:3021"
```

### Change FTP passive port range

By default FTP requests OS to give a free port automatically, however you may want to restrict
this to specific ports in certain restricted environments via

Parity blocks can not be higher than data blocks, so `STANDARD` storage class parity can not be higher than N/2. (N being total number of drives)

The default value for the `STANDARD` storage class depends on the number of volumes in the erasure set:

| Erasure Set Size | Default Parity (EC:N) |
|------------------|-----------------------|
| 5 or fewer       |                 EC:2  |
| 6-7              |                 EC:3  |

By default, MinIO shards the objects across N/2 data and N/2 parity drives. Though, you can use [storage classes](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/erasure/storage-class) to use a custom configuration. We recommend N/2 data and parity blocks, as it ensures the best protection from drive failures.

  server.shutdown();
}
```

Your unit tests might move the `server` into a field so you can shut it down
from your test's `tearDown()`.

### API

#### MockResponse

Mock responses default to an empty response body and a `200` status code.
You can set a custom body with a string, input stream or byte array. Also
add headers with a fluent builder API.

```java
MockResponse response = new MockResponse()

**Note**: On distributed systems, root credentials are recommend to be defined by exporting the `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and  `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD` environment variables. If no value is set MinIO setup will assume `minioadmin/minioadmin` as default credentials. If a domain is required, it must be specified by defining and exporting the `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable.
