SILO Server

From local validation to a multi-node production cluster, choose the delivery path that matches your control boundary.

CONTAINER / MULTI-ARCH

Run a persistent instance in minutes

linux/amd64linux/arm64DockerPodman

Best for local evaluation, development, and deployments that already use containers as the delivery boundary. Pin the image tag, replace credentials, and use persistent storage in production.

shell

docker pull pgsty/minio:latest
docker run -d --name silo --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 \
  -v /data/minio:/data \
  -e MINIO_ROOT_USER=silo-admin \
  -e MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=replace-with-a-strong-secret \
  pgsty/minio:latest server /data --console-address :9001

Docker Hub Container guide →

Example credentials are for local testing only. Enable TLS, use unique strong credentials, and test recovery before production.

KUBERNETES / OPERATOR

Run SILO with the Tenant Helm Chart

Operator v7.1.1Helm 3.8+PVCTLS

The current MinIO Operator Tenant Chart supports overriding the tenant image repository, tag, or digest. Download the official values.yaml, point tenant.image at pgsty/minio, then configure pools and PVCs for your failure domains.

values.yaml

tenant:
  image:
    repository: pgsty/minio
    tag: latest
    pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

Tenant deployment guide View Helm chart ↗

The latest tag is illustrative. In production, pin a tested tag or digest and review pools, StorageClass, anti-affinity, TLS, and tenant credentials before installation.

PIGSTY / INFRA AS CODE

Deliver an operable SILO cluster with Ansible

TLSsystemdHAProxyMonitoring

Pigsty's MINIO module uses minio.yml to install packages, configure directories and certificates, launch systemd services, register monitoring, and provision aliases, buckets, and users. It fits deployments that need declarative configuration, TLS, and multi-node multi-disk topology.

Read the Pigsty MINIO docs ↗

Prepare the control node

shell

curl -fsSL https://repo.pigsty.io/get | bash
cd ~/pigsty
./bootstrap
./configure -g

Define the MinIO inventory

pigsty.yml

minio:
  hosts:
    10.10.10.10: { minio_seq: 1 }
  vars:
    minio_cluster: minio

Run the install playbook

ansible

./minio.yml -l minio
mcli ls sss/

SOURCE BUILD

Build from the maintained branch

Go 1.26+AGPLv3make

Use this path for auditing, development, or custom build flags. The result is a native minio executable for the current platform.

git + make

git clone https://github.com/pgsty/minio.git
cd minio

DEPLOYMENT TOPOLOGY

Pick topology after you know the failure domain

SILO can start on one machine, but production planning should be explicit about disks, nodes, redundancy, and recovery expectations.

SNSD01 × 01

Single node · single disk

Personal labs, local development, and disposable non-production validation. No data redundancy.

minio server /data DEV / TEST

SNMD01 × 04+

Single node · multiple disks

A resource-constrained compromise that can tolerate some disk failures, but not node failure.

minio server /data{1...4} CONSTRAINED

MNMD04+ × 04+

Multiple nodes · multiple disks

The standard production topology, with erasure-code redundancy across disk and node failure domains. Recommended with Pigsty Ansible.

https://minio-{1...4}.pigsty/data{1...4} PRODUCTION

SUPPORT SURFACE

Move from local validation to production with the full documentation, release notes, and community support for upgrade and recovery planning.
