HSM Management on Linux

This section contains tutorials for configuring an external HSM to store a MinIO KMS root encryption key.

These procedures require the following:

  • An existing MinIO KMS installation
  • A client machine with the minkms client installed
  • Access to the MinIO KMS root or “superadmin” key

For instructions on configuring an external HSM in Kubernetes environments, see the HSM Management on Kubernetes section.
