MinIO: 4. Create the service
This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Start MinIO, retrieve its credentials, and modify its configuration programmatically using the Stackhero CLI.
👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!
Stackhero offers a ready-to-use MinIO Object Storage platform designed for reliability and speed. Key benefits include:
- Unlimited data transfers with no hidden fees.
- Simple, predictable, and transparent pricing.
- A custom domain name secured with HTTPS (for example, https://object-storage.your-company.com).
- Smooth, one-click updates with no manual intervention required.
- High performance and security on private, dedicated infrastructure.
- Available in both 🇪🇺 Europe and 🇺🇸 USA regions.
Simplify your workflows and save setup time: you can deploy Stackhero's MinIO Object Storage hosting in just 5 minutes.
Below is a sample script that creates a stack, adds your MinIO service to it, waits for it to start, retrieves its configuration (including generated credentials), and then applies a new configuration.
#!/bin/bash
set -e
export STACKHERO_TOKEN="usr-xxxxxx:your-token"
serviceStore="minio" # The MinIO service store name (see step 2)
instance="..." # An instance size from step 3
region="europe" # A region name from step 3
# Create a stack for your service (uses your default organization; add --organization if needed)
stackId=$(stackhero --format=script stack-create \
--name="My MinIO stack")
echo "Stack created: ${stackId}"
# Add MinIO to the stack (names are resolved automatically)
serviceId=$(stackhero --format=script service-add \
--stack="My MinIO stack" \
--service-store="${serviceStore}" \
--instance="${instance}" \
--region="${region}")
echo "Service added: minio"
# Wait for the service to be fully operational (this may take a few minutes)
stackhero service-wait-for --service="minio"
# Retrieve the service configuration, including generated credentials
stackhero service-configuration-get --service="minio" --format=json
