Using Minio Client

{: #minio}

The open source Minio Client{: external} could be your solution for using UNIX-like commands (ls, cp, cat, and so on) with {{site.data.keyword.cos_full}}. {: shortdesc}

Installation

{: #minio-install}

You can find installation instructions for each operating system is available in the Quick Start guide{: external} on the Minio website.

Configuration

{: #minio-config}

Adding your {{site.data.keyword.cos_short}} is accomplished by running the following command:

mc config host add <ALIAS> <COS-ENDPOINT> <ACCESS-KEY> <SECRET-KEY>
  • <ALIAS> - short name for referencing {{site.data.keyword.cos_short}} in commands
  • <COS-ENDPOINT - endpoint for your {{site.data.keyword.cos_short}} instance. For more information about endpoints, see Endpoints and storage locations.
  • <ACCESS-KEY> - access key that is assigned to your Service Credential
  • <SECRET-KEY> - secret key that is assigned to your Service Credential

The <ACCESS-KEY> and <SECRET-KEY> can be accessed/generated using HMAC {:tip}

The configuration information is stored in a JSON file that is at ~/.mc/config.json

mc config host add cos https://s3.us-south.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud xx1111cfbe094710x4819759x57e9999 9f99fc08347d1a6xxxxx0b7e0a9ee7b0c9999c2c08ed0000
