MinIO: 1. Authenticate

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. The main advantages 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.

The simplest way to get started is to log in via your browser. When you run the login command, the CLI opens a web page where you can approve access. No passwords or 2FA codes are entered into the CLI itself.

Once logged in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by subsequent CLI commands.

For fully automated environments such as scripts or CI pipelines, you may prefer a non-interactive access token. You can create one from your dashboard (Account > Access tokens), then export it as an environment variable. The CLI, as well as any script you run, will automatically detect it.
