Improve this page by contributing to our documentation.

By default, this chart provisions a MinIO(R) server in standalone mode. You can start MinIO(R) server in distributed mode with the following parameter: mode=distributed.

This chart bootstrap MinIO(R) server in distributed mode with 4 nodes by default. You can change the number of nodes using the statefulset.replicaCount parameter. For instance, you can deploy the chart with 8 nodes using the following parameters:

mode=distributed
statefulset.replicaCount=8

You can also bootstrap MinIO(R) server in distributed mode in several zones, and using multiple drives per node. For instance, you can deploy the chart with 2 nodes per zone on 2 zones, using 2 drives per node:

mode=distributed
statefulset.replicaCount=2
statefulset.zones=2
statefulset.drivesPerNode=2

NOTE: The total number of drives should be greater than 4 to guarantee erasure coding. Please set a combination of nodes, and drives per node that match this condition.
