Quick Start

The default template will instantiate a Single-Node Single-Drive deployment, recommended only for local testing and evaluation or small-scale data workloads that do not have availability or performance requirements.

To instantiate a Single-Node Multi-Drive deployment instead, it is necessary to add extra disks to the template file. A template for a Single-Node Multi-Drive with 4 disks for MinIO storage should look like this:

  CONTEXT=[
    NETWORK="YES",
    ONEAPP_MINIO_HOSTNAME="$ONEAPP_MINIO_HOSTNAME",
    ONEAPP_MINIO_OPTS="$ONEAPP_MINIO_OPTS",
    ONEAPP_MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD="$ONEAPP_MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD",
    ONEAPP_MINIO_ROOT_USER="$ONEAPP_MINIO_ROOT_USER",
    ONEAPP_MINIO_TLS_CERT="$ONEAPP_MINIO_TLS_CERT",
    ONEAPP_MINIO_TLS_KEY="$ONEAPP_MINIO_TLS_KEY",
    SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="$USER[SSH_PUBLIC_KEY]" ]
  CPU="1"
  DISK=[
    DEV_PREFIX="vd",
    IMAGE="service-MinIO",
    IMAGE_UNAME="oneadmin" ]
  DISK=[
    DEV_PREFIX="vd",
    IMAGE="empty_disk",

    ONEAPP_MINIO_OPTS="O|text|Additional commandline options for MinIO server| |--console-address :9001",
    ONEAPP_MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD="O|password|MinIO root user password for MinIO server",
    ONEAPP_MINIO_ROOT_USER="O|text|MinIO root user for MinIO server| |myminioadmin",
    ONEAPP_MINIO_TLS_CERT="O|text64|MinIO TLS certificate (.crt)| |",

Steps to deploy a Single-Node instance:

1. Download the MinIO appliance from the OpenNebula Marketplace. This will download the VM template, the image for the OS and the empty disk image for storage drives.

   $ onemarketapp export 'Service MinIO' MinIO --datastore default
   

2. Adjust the VM template as desired (i.e. CPU, MEMORY, number of disks).

3. Instantiate MinIO template:

   $ onetemplate instantiate MinIO
   

   This will prompt the user for the contextualization parameters.

4. Attach a new NIC to the VM:

   $ onevm nic-atttach VM_ID --network VNET_ID
   

5. Access your new MinIO instance on https://vm-ip-address:9001 and login with the defined user and password.
