```sh
tar xvfz prometheus-*.tar.gz
cd prometheus-*
```

Prometheus server is a single binary called `prometheus` (or `prometheus.exe` on Microsoft Windows). Run the binary and pass `--help` flag to see available options

```sh
./prometheus --help
usage: prometheus [<flags>]

the MinIO server's config sub-directory that is used to store certificates. By default, the location is
`/<user-running-minio>/.minio/certs`.

*Tip*: In a standard Kubernetes configuration, this will be `/root/.minio/certs`. Kubernetes will mount the secrets volume read-only,

```

### Installing certificates from third party CAs

## 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

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
```

```

### TLS (FTP)

Unlike SFTP server, FTP server is insecure by default. To operate under TLS mode, you need to provide certificates via

```
--ftp="tls-private-key=path/to/private.key" --ftp="tls-public-cert=path/to/public.crt"
```

> NOTE: if MinIO distributed setup is already configured to run under TLS, FTP will automatically use the relevant

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

### 2. Run MinIO Server with Erasure Code

Example: Start MinIO server in a 12 drives setup, using MinIO binary.

```sh
minio server /data{1...12}
```

Example: Start MinIO server in a 8 drives setup, using MinIO Docker image.

```sh
podman run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name minio \

```
curl http://minio1:9001/minio/health/cluster?maintenance=true
HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 0
Server: MinIO
Vary: Origin
X-Amz-Bucket-Region: us-east-1
X-Amz-Request-Id: 16239D63820C6E76

apply `STANDARD` storage class to the object. This means the data and parity drives will be used as set in `STANDARD` storage class.

- If storage class is not defined before starting MinIO server, and subsequent PutObject metadata field has `x-amz-storage-class` present
with values `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` or `STANDARD`, MinIO server uses default parity values.

### Set metadata

- For [SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS encryption via KMS](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/server-side-encryption.html "MinIO KMS Guide"), all sites **must**  have access to a central KMS deployment. This can be achieved via a central KES server or multiple KES servers (say one per site) connected via a central KMS (Vault) server.
