Your Stackhero for MinIO instance includes the MinIO Console web UI by default. For more advanced tasks, you may choose to use the MinIO CLI.

The simplest way to try the MinIO CLI is to run its Docker container. Follow these steps:

1. Start the container:

   docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/sh minio/mc
   

2. Inside the container, add your server using the following command (replace the placeholder values accordingly):

   mc alias set minio https://<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com <ROOT_ACCESS_KEY> <MINIO_ROOT_SECRET_KEY>
   

3. Create a bucket named "test" to verify the setup:

   mc mb minio/test
   

4. List your buckets:

   mc ls minio
   

You can view additional MinIO CLI commands by running mc --help.
