# Minio B2 Gateway [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io) Minio Gateway adds Amazon S3 compatibility to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage. ## Run Minio Gateway for Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage Please follow this [guide](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/quick_account.html) to create an account on backblaze.com to obtain your access credentisals for B2 Cloud storage. ### Using Docker ``` docker run -p 9000:9000 --name azure-s3 \ -e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=b2_accound_id" \ -e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=b2_application_key" \ minio/minio:edge gateway b2 ``` ## Test using Minio Browser Minio Gateway comes with an embedded web based object browser. Point your web browser to http://127.0.0.1:9000 ensure your server has started successfully. ![Screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/screenshots/minio-browser-gateway.png) ## Test using Minio Client `mc` `mc` provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands such as ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff etc. It supports filesystems and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage services. ### Configure `mc` ``` mc config host add myb2 http://gateway-ip:9000 b2_account_id b2_application_key ``` ### List buckets on Backblaze B2 ``` mc ls myb2 [2017-02-22 01:50:43 PST] 0B ferenginar/ [2017-02-26 21:43:51 PST] 0B my-bucket/ [2017-02-26 22:10:11 PST] 0B test-bucket1/ ``` ### Known limitations Gateway inherits the following B2 limitations: - No support for CopyObject S3 API (There are no equivalent APIs available on Backblaze B2). - No support for CopyObjectPart S3 API (There are no equivalent APIs available on Backblaze B2). - Only read-only bucket policy supported at bucket level, all other variations will return API Notimplemented error. - DeleteObject() might not delete the object right away on Backblaze B2, so you might see the object immediately after a Delete request. Other limitations: - Bucket notification APIs are not supported. ## Explore Further - [`mc` command-line interface](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide) - [`aws` command-line interface](https://docs.minio.io/docs/aws-cli-with-minio) - [`minio-go` Go SDK](https://docs.minio.io/docs/golang-client-quickstart-guide)
