# Distributed Server Design Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

This document explains the design, architecture and advanced use cases of the MinIO distributed server.

## Command-line

```
NAME:
  minio server - start object storage server

USAGE:
  minio server [FLAGS] DIR1 [DIR2..]
  minio server [FLAGS] DIR{1...64}
  minio server [FLAGS] DIR{1...64} DIR{65...128}

DIR:

  -
        - '/mnt/disk{1...4}/'
        - 'https://server1-pool1:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}/'
