Start local MinIO

docker run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name localminio \
  -v ~/minio/data:/data \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY" \
  quay.io/minio/minio server /data --console-address ":9001"

Note: Minio example is for local testing only, use S3 compatible object storage in case of production setup
