minio-multiarch

Provides nightly builds of Minio server Docker images compatible with arm64, armhf/armv7, and amd64 architectures.

Minio Server

Minio is an OSS project offering a "high performance distributed object storage server", with fabulous features like an S3-compliant API, excellent documentation, and other great features out-of-the-box:

• Regularly updated Docker images -- for AMD64 only, unfortunately

• An officially supported (in-tree) Helm chart for easy Kubernetes deployment.

• A pretty dope CLI client, [mc][mc-github], for interfacing with not just Minio but any S3-compliant API. I've got a multi-arch image for that too!

However, there's currently no officially maintained Docker image compatible with architectures other than amd64. And while they provide cross-compiled binaries for ARM/ARM64, these releases often lag months behind the Darwin x86_64 or Linux AMD64 binaries.

This repo triggers a nightly job on CircleCI to build Docker images for all three architectures, then updates the repository manifest accordingly. Just docker run --rm -it jessestuart/minio on any platform, and you'll be on your way to storage success.

How can I use this?

You can run the following command to stand up a standalone instance of Minio Server on Docker:

docker run \
  -v /export/minio \
  -v /export/minio-config:/root/.minio \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  jessestuart/minio server /export

Kubernetes

This image can also be used to deploy a Minio pod to a Kubernetes cluster. See the official docs on deploying Minio to Kubernetes for more detail, or check out the Minio Helm chart documentation.
