+# MinIO Docker Setup
+
+This repository provides a quick and easy setup to create a [MinIO](https://min.io) instance using Docker Compose.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker
+- Docker Compose
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone <your-repository-url>
+   cd <your-repository-folder>
+   ```
+
+2. Copy the `.env.example` file to create a new `.env` file. This will allow you to set environment variables for the MinIO instance:
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   ```
+
+3. Update the `.env` file with your desired credentials:
+   ```env
+   ROOT_USER=<your-root-user>
+   ROOT_PASS=<your-root-password>
+   ```
+
+4. Start the MinIO instance:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+   MinIO will now be available at `http://localhost:9000`. Use the `ROOT_USER` and `ROOT_PASS` specified in your `.env` file to log in.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The `.env` file should contain the following variables:
+- `ROOT_USER`: The root username for the MinIO instance.
+- `ROOT_PASS`: The root password for the MinIO instance.
+
+## Useful Resources
+
+- [MinIO GitHub Repository](https://github.com/minio/minio) - For more details on MinIO and its development.
+- [MinIO Documentation](https://min.io/docs/minio/container/index.html) - Official documentation for running MinIO in containers.
+
+## Stopping the MinIO Instance
+
+To stop and remove the containers, use:
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
