MinIO is a high-performance, S3 compatible object store. It is built for large scale AI/ML, data lake and database workloads. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that allows developers and operators to more easily package, configure, and deploy applications and services onto Kubernetes clusters. ## Prerequisites - TFChain account with TFT - [Deploy Kubernetes cluster with one master and one worker (IPv4)](../../dashboard/solutions/k8s.md) - [Make sure you can connect via SSH on the terminal](../../system_administrators/getstarted/ssh_guide/ssh_openssh.md) ## Create an SSH Tunnel To access the MinIO Operator, we need to create an SSH tunnel with the port 9090. - Open a terminal and create an SSH tunnel ``` ssh -4 -L 9090:127.0.0.1:9090 root@ ``` Simply leave this window open and follow the next steps. ## Set the VM We set the Master VM to access the minIO Operator. - Install the prerequisites: ``` apt update apt install git -y apt install wget apt install jq -y ``` - Install Helm ``` wget https://get.helm.sh/helm-v3.14.3-linux-amd64.tar.gz tar -xvf helm-v3.14.3-linux-amd64.tar.gz mv linux-amd64/helm /usr/local/bin/helm ``` - Install yq ``` wget https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/download/v4.43.1/yq_linux_amd64.tar.gz tar -xvf yq_linux_amd64.tar.gz mv yq_linux_amd64 /usr/bin/yq ``` ## Set MinIO We can then set the MinIO Operator. For this step, we mainly follow the MinIO documentation [here](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/install-deploy-manage/deploy-operator-helm.html). - Add the MinIO repo ``` helm repo add minio-operator https://operator.min.io ``` - Validate the MinIO repo content ``` helm search repo minio-operator ``` - Install the operator ``` helm install \ --namespace minio-operator \ --create-namespace \ operator minio-operator/operator ``` - Verify the operator installation ``` kubectl get all -n minio-operator ``` ## Access the MinIO Operator You can then access the MinIO Operator on your local browser (port 9090) ``` localhost:9090 ``` To log in the MinIO Operator, you will need to enter the token. To see the token, run the following line: ``` kubectl get secret/console-sa-secret -n minio-operator -o json | jq -r ".data.token" | base64 -d ``` Enter the token on the login page: ![minio_1](./img/minio_1.png) You then have access to the MinIO Operator: ![minio_2](./img/minio_2.png) ## Questions and Feedback If you have any questions, feel free to ask for help on the [ThreeFold Forum](https://forum.threefold.io/).
