MinIO Ubuntu 24.04

MinIO S3-compatible object storage on Ubuntu 24.04 by cloudimg

MinIO on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat), purpose built for Microsoft Azure and maintained by cloudimg. MinIO is the high-performance, S3-compatible object store — drop-in replacement for AWS S3 in private deployments, ideal for backups, application assets, data lakes, and CI artifacts.

Why Choose cloudimg?

• 24/7 Expert Support with guaranteed 24-hour response for all requests and one-hour average for critical issues. Contact support@cloudimg.co.uk
• Production Ready from Launch Pre-configured, security-patched, and validated before publication
• Azure Native Integration Built with Azure Linux Agent, cloud-init, and Gen2 Hyper-V support
• Per-VM Credential Rotation On first customer boot, minio-firstboot.service rotates both MINIO_ROOT_USER and MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD from build-time temp values to per-VM strong values, restarts minio so the new env is picked up, and writes credentials to /stage/scripts/minio-credentials.log (mode 0600). No two virtual machines ever share root credentials

What is Included

• Latest stable MinIO server from the official dl.min.io .deb
• The mc (MinIO Client) command-line client for bucket operations and replication
• minio.service systemd unit auto-starting on boot, running as the dedicated minio-user
• minio-firstboot.service systemd oneshot that rotates root credentials and writes them to a 0600 log
• Data directory at /var/lib/minio-data (mode 0750, owned by minio-user)
• MinIO ships under the AGPLv3 community licence (a separate commercial licence is available direct from MinIO)
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base with latest security patches applied at build time
• Azure Linux Agent for seamless cloud integration and SSH key injection

Networking and Ports

• TCP 9000 — S3 API (clients and applications)
• TCP 9001 — Web Console (administration)
• TCP 22 — SSH (admin)

NSG should permit port 22 from admin CIDR, port 9001 from admin networks (Console), and port 9000 from your application server subnets. Do NOT expose the Console (9001) to the public internet.
