# Self-host MinIO with Docker

> S3-compatible object storage you run yourself, with a built-in web console.

S3-compatible object storage you run yourself, with a built-in web console.

This page describes the Levelrail template for MinIO (Storage). It deploys the services below as one Docker Compose app on your own server. Project site: [https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html).

Recommended memory: about 512 MiB.

## Deploy MinIO with Levelrail

In the dashboard, open **Apps**, choose **New app**, then **Browse templates**, and select MinIO. Review the Compose body and deploy.
