Quick Start

Docker Run

docker run -d --name minio \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  -p 9002:9002 \
  -v ./data:/data \
  -e MINIO_ROOT_USER=UL5YXh4vjy3yEAaS4eW8 \
  -e MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=36bpUPfiptWp6M7uBFsM75uKbPXZgW \
  firstfinger/minio:latest-amd64

Image Tags

This image is built for multiple architectures. You must select the tag that matches your system's architecture:

• latest-amd64: The image for x86-64 (amd64) architectures.
• latest-arm64: The image for arm64 architectures.

For example, to run on an x86-64 machine:

docker run -d --name minio \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  -p 9002:9002 \
  -v ./data:/data \
  -e MINIO_ROOT_USER=UL5YXh4vjy3yEAaS4eW8 \
  -e MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=36bpUPfiptWp6M7uBFsM75uKbPXZgW \
  firstfinger/minio:latest-amd64

Docker Compose

By default, the docker-compose.yml file uses the latest-amd64 tag. To use the arm64 image, create a .env file in the same directory with the following content:

MINIO_IMAGE_TAG=latest-arm64

Then, run the standard command:

docker compose up -d

Security Notes

• Runs as non-root user (UID 1000)
• Set proper data directory permissions: sudo chown -R 1000:1000 ./data
• Change default credentials in production
• Use TLS certificates by mounting to /data/.minio/certs/
• Console secrets are auto-generated if not provided

Troubleshooting

Permission denied: sudo chown -R 1000:1000 ./data

Port conflicts: Use custom ports with -e MINIO_API_PORT=8000

Service not starting: Check logs with docker logs minio

Region errors: Ensure MINIO_REGION is set (e.g., us-east-1, ap-south-1)
