# Minio Quickstart Guide
Minio is an object storage server released under Apache License v2.0. It is compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. It is best suited for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups and container / VM images. Size of an object can range from a few KBs to a maximum of 5TB.
Minio is an object storage server compatible with Amazon S3 and licensed under [Apache license 2.0](./LICENSE).
## 1. Download
Minio server is light enough to be bundled with the application stack, similar to NodeJS, Redis and MySQL.
## Description
| Platform| Architecture | URL|
| ----------| -------- | ------|
|GNU/Linux|64-bit Intel|https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio|
||32-bit Intel|https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/linux-386/minio|

|FreeBSD|64-bit|https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/freebsd-amd64/minio|
Minio is an open source object storage server released under Apache License V2. It is compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. Minio follows a minimalist design philosophy.
Minio is light enough to be bundled with the application stack. It sits on the side of NodeJS, Redis, MySQL and the likes. Unlike databases, Minio stores objects such as photos, videos, log files, backups, container / VM images and so on. Minio is best suited for storing blobs of information ranging from KBs to 5 TBs each. In a simplistic sense, it is like a FTP server with a simple get / put API over HTTP.
Minio currently implements two backends
- Filesystem (FS) - is available and ready for general purpose use.
- ErasureCoded (XL) - is available, but it is not ready for general purpose use.
### Install from Source
## Minio Client
Source installation is only intended for developers and advanced users. If you do not have a working Golang environment, please follow [How to install Golang](https://docs.minio.io/docs/how-to-install-golang).
[Minio Client (mc)](https://github.com/minio/mc#minio-client-mc-) provides a modern alternative to Unix commands like ``ls``, ``cat``, ``cp``, ``sync``, and ``diff``. It supports POSIX compatible filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage systems. It is entirely written in Golang.

Minio protects data against hardware failures and silent data corruption using erasure code and checksums. You may lose roughly half the number ((N/2)-1) of drives and still be able to recover the data.
## 1. Prerequisites:
Install Minio - [Minio Quickstart Guide](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio)
## What is Erasure Code?
Erasure code is a mathematical algorithm to reconstruct missing or corrupted data. Minio uses Reed-Solomon code to shard objects into N/2 data and N/2 parity blocks. This means that in a 12 drive setup, an object is sharded across as 6 data and 6 parity blocks. You can lose as many as 5 drives (be it parity or data) and still reconstruct the data reliably from the remaining drives.
## Why is Erasure Code useful?
Erasure code protects data from multiple drives failure unlike RAID or replication. Minio encodes each object individually with a high parity count. Storage servers once deployed should not require drive replacement or healing for the lifetime of the server. Minio's erasure coded backend is designed for operational efficiency and takes full advantage of hardware acceleration whenever available.
[![Screenshot](https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/hbaiKmmR9Fg3NZ1yEb8A)](https://docs.minio.io/)
## What is Bit Rot protection?
Bit Rot also known as Data Rot or Silent Data Corruption is a serious data loss issue faced by disk drives today. Data on the drive may silently get corrupted without signalling an error has occurred. This makes Bit Rot more dangerous than permanent hard drive failure.
Minio's erasure coded backend uses high speed [BLAKE2](https://blog.minio.io/accelerating-blake2b-by-4x-using-simd-in-go-assembly-33ef16c8a56b#.jrp1fdwer) hash based checksums to protect against Bit Rot.
## Deployment Scenarios
Minio server runs on a variety of hardware, operating systems and virtual/container environments.
Minio erasure code backend is limited by design to a minimum of 6 drives and a maximum of 16 drives. The hard limit of 16 drives comes from operational experience. Failure domain becomes too large beyond 16 drives. If you need to scale beyond 16 drives, you may run multiple instances of Minio server on different ports.

## 2. Run Minio Server with Erasure Code.
Example: Start Minio server in a 12 drives setup.
```
$ minio server /mnt/export1/backend /mnt/export2/backend /mnt/export3/backend /mnt/export4/backend /mnt/export5/backend /mnt/export6/backend /mnt/export7/backend /mnt/export8/backend /mnt/export9/backend /mnt/export10/backend /mnt/export11/backend /mnt/export12/backend
```
## 3. Test your setup
You may unplug drives randomly and continue to perform I/O on the system.
