Running Minio as a service on Windows

Install Minio service

NSSM is an opensource alternative to srvany. NSSM is still being updated, and works on Windows 10 as well.

Download NSSM and extract the 64 bit nssm.exe to a known path.

c:\nssm.exe install Minio c:\bin\minio.exe server c:\data

Configure startup type

When you start services, look for the Minio service and start and stop (or make it automatically start at reboots) the service.

Configure startup type

Configure user

It is a good (and secure) practice to create a new user, assign rights to the data folder to this user and change the service Log On info to use the newly created user.

Configure user

Delete Minio service

c:\nssm.exe remove Minio
