MinIO: 1. Authenticate

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start MinIO, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides a ready-to-use MinIO Object Storage platform designed for reliability and speed. Key advantages include:

• Unlimited data transfers with no hidden costs.
• Simple, predictable, and transparent pricing.
• A custom domain name secured with HTTPS (for example, https://object-storage.your-company.com).
• One-click, seamless updates that require no manual intervention.
• High performance and security on private, dedicated infrastructure.
• Available in both 🇪🇺 Europe and 🇺🇸 USA regions.

Streamline your workflow and reduce setup time: you can deploy Stackhero's MinIO Object Storage hosting in just 5 minutes.

The easiest way to get started is by logging in through 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.

After logging in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by future CLI commands.

For fully automated environments like scripts or CI pipelines, you might 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, and any script you run, will pick it up automatically.
