Information

MinIO is an open-source object storage compatible with the Amazon S3 API. It allows storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, logs, backups, etc.

MinIO. Key Features

  • Scalable object storage: MinIO allows storing an unlimited number of objects of any size. The storage volume can be easily scaled by adding new servers.
  • S3-compatible API: MinIO implements the Amazon S3 REST API for storing and retrieving objects, enabling the use of existing S3 libraries and tools.
  • High availability: Data is replicated across multiple cluster nodes. If one node fails, data availability is maintained.
  • Data encryption: Objects are encrypted on the client’s side using a symmetric key. SSE-C, SSE-S3, and SSE-KMS are supported.
  • Multi-user access: Support for ACL and IAM policies to restrict access for different users.
  • Object versioning: Store multiple versions of objects with the ability to restore them.
  • Data replication: Synchronous replication of data to different regions for geographic distribution.
  • Host-level caching: Cache frequently requested objects on cluster nodes.
  • Scalability: Horizontal scalability of performance and storage capacity.
  • Web interface: Built-in GUI for storage management and monitoring.
  • Reliability: Built-in fault recovery, self-healing architecture.

Getting started after deploying MinIO

After your order is paid, you will receive an email notification to the address provided during registration, informing you that your server is ready for use. This notification will include your VPS's IP address, as well as your login and password for connecting.

Our company clients manage their equipment through the server management panel and API — Invapi.

  • Link to access the MinIO web interface: in tag webpanel;;
  • Login: minioadmin;
  • Password: minioadmin.

After successful authorization in the panel, you should set new credentials in the Access Keys >> Change Password tab:
