docker run minio/mc:edge ls play
Note: Above examples run mc against MinIO play environment by default. To run mc against other S3 compatible servers, start the container this way:
docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/sh minio/mc
then use the mc alias command.
Install mc packages using Homebrew
brew install minio/stable/mc

Note: If you are planning to use mc only on POSIX compatible filesystems, you may skip this step and proceed to Step 4.
To add one or more Amazon S3 compatible hosts, please follow the instructions below. mc stores all its configuration information in ~/.mc/config.json file.
mc alias set <ALIAS> <YOUR-S3-ENDPOINT> [YOUR-ACCESS-KEY] [YOUR-SECRET-KEY] [--api API-SIGNATURE]
Keys must be supplied by argument or standard input.
Alias is simply a short name to your cloud storage service. S3 end-point, access and secret keys are supplied by your cloud storage provider. API signature is an optional argument. By default, it is set to "S3v4".
MinIO server displays URL, access and secret keys.
mc alias set minio http://192.168.1.51 BKIKJAA5BMMU2RHO6IBB V7f1CwQqAcwo80UEIJEjc5gVQUSSx5ohQ9GSrr12 --api S3v4
Get your AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey by following AWS Credentials Guide.
mc alias set s3 https://s3.amazonaws.com BKIKJAA5BMMU2RHO6IBB V7f1CwQqAcwo80UEIJEjc5gVQUSSx5ohQ9GSrr12 --api S3v4
Get your AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey by following Google Credentials Guide
mc alias set gcs https://storage.googleapis.com BKIKJAA5BMMU2RHO6IBB V8f1CwQqAcwo80UEIJEjc5gVQUSSx5ohQ9GSrr12
Get your AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey by creating a service account with HMAC credentials. This option is only available from Resources > Cloud Object Storage > Service credentials (not from Manage > Access (IAM) > Service IDs). Once created, the values you will use for accessKey and secretKey are found in the cos_hmac_keys field of the service credentials.
Finally, the url will be the public endpoint specific to the region/resiliency that you chose when setting up your bucket. There is no single, global url for all buckets. Find your bucket's URL in the console by going to Cloud Object Storage > Buckets > [your-bucket] > Configuration > Endpoints > public. Remember to prepend https:// to the URL provided.
mc alias set ibm https://s3.us-east.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud BKIKJAA5BMMU2RHO6IBB V8f1CwQqAcwo80UEIJEjc5gVQUSSx5ohQ9GSrr12 --api s3v4
Note: The service ID you create must have an access policy granting it access to your Object Storage instance(s).

quota command to set or get bucket quota on MinIO server.
NAME:
mc quota - manage bucket quota
USAGE:
set set bucket quota
info show bucket quota
clear clear bucket quota
QUOTA
quota accepts human-readable case-insensitive number
suffixes such as "k", "m", "g" and "t" referring to the metric units KB,
MB, GB and TB respectively. Adding an "i" to these prefixes, uses the IEC
units, so that "gi" refers to "gibibyte" or "GiB". A "b" at the end is
also accepted. Without suffixes the unit is bytes.
Example: Show bucket quota on bucket 'mybucket' on MinIO.
mc quota info myminio/mybucket
Example: Set a hard bucket quota of 64Mb for bucket 'mybucket' on MinIO.
mc quota set myminio/mybucket --size 64MB
Example: Reset bucket quota configured for bucket 'mybucket' on MinIO.
mc quota clear myminio/mybucket
