# Minio Deployment

## Introduction

MinIO is used by some components of OpenG2P store documents.

## Prerequisites

* The following utilities/tools must be present on the user's machine.
  * `kubectl`, `istioctl`, `helm`, `jq`, `curl`, `wget`, `git`, `bash`, `envsubst`.
* [Keycloak](/1.2/deployment/external-components-setup/keycloak-deployment.md) for Authentication and Sign-in to UI

## Installation

* Clone the <https://github.com/openg2p/openg2p-deployment> repo and navigate to [kubernetes/minio](https://github.com/OpenG2P/openg2p-deployment/tree/main/kubernetes/minio) directory.
* Run:

  ```bash
  SANDBOX_HOSTNAME="openg2p.sandbox.net" \
      ./install.sh
  ```

## Post-installation

After installation is successful, MinIO console will be accessible at <https://minio.openg2p.sandbox.net>, depending on the hostname given above.

Once OpenG2P PBMS is installed, do the following:

* Navigate to OpenG2P Documents (From OpenG2P Menu) -> Document Store.
* Configure URL and password for this backend service (Like `http://minio.minio:9000`). Password and account-id/username can be obtained from the secrets in minio namespace.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openg2p.org/1.2/deployment/external-components-setup/minio-deployment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
