Key generation

MinIO will require access and secret keys. To generate a set of random keys to choose from, run:

docker run -it --rm alpine sh -c 'apk add pwgen && pwgen --secure --capitalize --numerals --ambiguous 30'

  • --capitalize Include at least one capital letter in the password
  • --numerals Include at least one number in the password
  • --symbols Include at least one special symbol in the password
  • --secure Generate completely random passwords
  • --ambiguous Don't include ambiguous characters in the password
  • 30 password length
