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
