# Multi-tenant Minio Deployment Guide [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io) [![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/minio/minio)](https://goreportcard.com/report/minio/minio) [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/minio/minio.svg?maxAge=604800)](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/minio/minio/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/minio/minio) ## Standalone Deployment To host multiple tenants on a single machine, run one Minio server per tenant with dedicated HTTPS port, config and data directory. #### Example 1 : Single host, single drive This example hosts 3 tenants on a single drive. ```sh minio --config-dir ~/tenant1 server --address :9001 /data/tenant1 minio --config-dir ~/tenant2 server --address :9002 /data/tenant2 minio --config-dir ~/tenant3 server --address :9003 /data/tenant3 ``` ![Example-1](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/screenshots/Example-1.jpg?raw=true) #### Example 2 : Single host, multiple drives (erasure code) This example hosts 3 tenants on multiple drives. ```sh minio --config-dir ~/tenant1 server --address :9001 /disk1/data/tenant1 /disk2/data/tenant1 /disk3/data/tenant1 /disk4/data/tenant1 minio --config-dir ~/tenant2 server --address :9002 /disk1/data/tenant2 /disk2/data/tenant2 /disk3/data/tenant2 /disk4/data/tenant2 minio --config-dir ~/tenant3 server --address :9003 /disk1/data/tenant3 /disk2/data/tenant3 /disk3/data/tenant3 /disk4/data/tenant3 ``` ![Example-2](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/screenshots/Example-2.jpg?raw=true) ## Distributed Deployment To host multiple tenants in a distributed environment, run several distributed Minio instances concurrently. #### Example 1 : Multiple host, multiple drives (erasure code) This example hosts 3 tenants on a 4 node distributed setup. Execute the following command on all the four nodes. ```sh export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY= export MINIO_SECRET_KEY= minio --config-dir ~/tenant1 server --address :9001 http://192.168.10.11/data/tenant1 http://192.168.10.12/data/tenant1 http://192.168.10.13/data/tenant1 http://192.168.10.14/data/tenant1 export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY= export MINIO_SECRET_KEY= minio --config-dir ~/tenant2 server --address :9002 http://192.168.10.11/data/tenant2 http://192.168.10.12/data/tenant2 http://192.168.10.13/data/tenant2 http://192.168.10.14/data/tenant2 export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY= export MINIO_SECRET_KEY= minio --config-dir ~/tenant3 server --address :9003 http://192.168.10.11/data/tenant3 http://192.168.10.12/data/tenant3 http://192.168.10.13/data/tenant3 http://192.168.10.14/data/tenant3 ``` ![Example-3](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/screenshots/Example-3.jpg?raw=true) ## Cloud Scale Deployment For large scale multi-tenant Minio deployments, we recommend using one of the popular container orchestration platforms, e.g. Kubernetes, DC/OS or Docker Swarm. Refer [this document](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-deployment-quickstart-guide) to get started with Minio on orchestration platforms.
