Synchronizing a Directory with mc mirror

The mc mirror command is a powerful tool for synchronizing the contents of a local directory to an S3 bucket. It can upload new or modified files, and optionally delete files from the bucket that no longer exist locally. This method is efficient for maintaining backups or deploying static websites.

Please ensure your MinIO client is configured as described in the quickstart guide.

Exemple de base​

To synchronize the content of the local directory ./mon-site to the bucket demo-app on your alias cloudtemple-fr1:

mc mirror ./mon-site/ cloudtemple-fr1/demo-app/

Useful Options​

  • --overwrite: Forces the replacement of existing files on the destination, even if they are more recent.
  • --remove: Removes files from the destination that do not exist in the source directory. Use with caution, as this can lead to irreversible data loss.
