MinIO-1: Installing And Using MinIO As An Object Storage

It functions almost the same as the S3 tool in Amazon Web Services. However, MinIO is a 100% open-source object storage solution, while AWS S3 is a commercial product offered by AWS. Also, considering the prices of S3 tools and legal regulations, especially in finance, healthcare, and similar sectors, you may not want to use cloud-based systems such as AWS S3, as it is not legal to store data abroad. At this point, you can create and use your Object Storage Servers with MinIO, in a way that fully meets your needs. In this article, we will practically install MinIO for Docker, Kubernetes, and Linux. Then, we will upload an object file into MinIO and access the object file through our Browser by using a file-sharing link.
