is intended for early development and evaluation. For production clusters, deploy a [Distributed](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/deployments/baremetal-deploy-minio-as-a-container.html) MinIO deployment.

MinIO needs a persistent volume to store configuration and application data. For testing purposes, you can launch MinIO by simply passing a directory (`/data` in the example below). This directory gets created in the container filesystem at the time of container...

## Deploy your own server { #deploy-your-own-server }

One of the main features needed by API systems is data "<abbr title="also called marshalling, conversion">serialization</abbr>" which is taking data from the code (Python) and converting it into something that can be sent through the network. For example, converting an object containing data from a database into a JSON object. Converting `datetime` objects into strings, etc.

So, to renew the certificates, the renewal program needs to **prove** to the authority (Let's Encrypt) that it indeed **"owns" and controls that domain**.

To do that, and to accommodate different application needs, there are several ways it can do it. Some popular ways are:

* **Modify some DNS records**.

configured with --sync mode in `mc admin bucket remote add` does not apply to `DELETE` operations. The version being deleted on the source cluster needs to maintain state and ensure that the operation is mirrored to the target cluster prior to completing on the source object version. Since this needs to account for the target cluster availability and the need to serialize concurrent DELETE operations on different versions of the same object during multi DELETE operations, the current implementation queues...

### 2. Run distributed MinIO

To start a distributed MinIO instance, you just need to pass drive locations as parameters to the minio server command. Then, you’ll need to run the same command on all the participating nodes.

**NOTE:**

	case string:
		// Parse as number, truncate floating point if
		// needed.
		// String might contain trimming spaces, which
		// needs to be trimmed.
		res, ok := strToInt(strings.TrimSpace(x))
		if !ok {
			return 0, errCastFailure("could not parse as int")
		}
		return res, nil
	case []byte:
		// Parse as number, truncate floating point if
		// needed.
		// String might contain trimming spaces, which

		errors.Is(err, errServerNotInitialized)

	// Initializing sub-systems needs a retry mechanism for
	// the following reasons:
	//  - Read quorum is lost just after the initialization
	//    of the object layer.
	//  - Write quorum not met when upgrading configuration
	//    version is needed, migration is needed etc.
	rquorum := InsufficientReadQuorum{}
	wquorum := InsufficientWriteQuorum{}

    Some tests need reflective access to the internals of these packages. It is only the
    tests themselves and not the code being tested that needs that access, though there's no
    obvious way to ensure that.

    We could consider arranging things so that only the tests we know need this would get
    the add-opens. Right now that doesn't seem worth the effort, though.
