Introduction
Minio is an object storage server. It is used to store photos, videos, log files, backups and container / VM images. Size of an object can range from a few KBs to a maximum of 5TB.
Minio Client (mc) provides a modern alternative to UNIX commands like ls, cat, cp, mirror, diff, find, etc.
