MinIO BOSH Release

This repository was recovered from my fork of the MinIO Boshrelease (GNU AGPL V3) and then simplified (also reduced in size by removing binaries from git history) and adapted to the latest MinIO releases with partial breaking of backward compatibility.

BOSH allows users to easily version, package and deploy software in a reproducible manner. This repo provides BOSH release of MinIO Object Storage Server. You can use this release to deploy MinIO in standalone, single-node mode as well as in distributed mode on multiple nodes.

License

MinIO BOSH Release is licensed under GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 3.0 or later.

Releases

You can find all the new releases here.

Version numbers are created as a mix of Semantic and MinIO approaches, if an incompatibility is detected in the MinIO version, the major version number will be changed:

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH+minio.MinIO-Version

For this reason, the older versions are treated as 1.*.* and the new ones as 2.*.*.

The latest release: https://github.com/kinjelom/minio-boshrelease/releases/latest

Note

Older official releases can be found here on the bosh.io website.

    minio_instances: 1
minio_storage_class_standard: "EC:0" # ignored by MinIO
  2. Distributed - HA mode: 
    minio_instances: 3 # or more, 2 instances causes readonly cluster if only one node is up
minio_storage_class_standard: "EC:1" # if the disks are already redundant (e.g. CEPH EC) this is min. EC accepted by MinIO

CAUTION!!! MinIO does NOT support changing the number of nodes in the deployed cluster:
