Create default configuration

Use the following snippet to create the configuration

cat <<EOT >> /etc/default/minio
# Local export path.
MINIO_VOLUMES="/tmp/minio/"
# Use if you want to run Minio on a custom port.
MINIO_OPTS="--address :9199"
EOT

Update the MINIO_VOLUMES to the location of your choice.

Update the keys

We also need to update the default access keys in order to use minio. By default minio reads credentials from ${HOME}/.minio/config.json. You can override these values by adding custom credentials in /etc/default/minio.

cat <<EOT >> /etc/default/minio
# Access Key of the server.
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=Server-Access-Key
# Secret key of the server.
MINIO_SECRET_KEY=Server-Secret-Key
EOT

Add service in systemd

Create a new file minio.service in /etc/systemd/system and add the following in it.

Update the minio user and group with your local environment.
