title: How to start using Minio without accessKey and secretKey?
body: <p>I have a minio server running on debian using SystemD and proxied with NGINX and secured with Let's Encrypt. In the docs it suggests the service is comparable to Amazon S3 but I can't figure out how to actually use the service. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Version: 2019-03-27T22:35:21Z
  Release-Tag: RELEASE.2019-03-27T22-35-21Z

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It looks like in order to create a bucket or use the minio cli <code>mc</code> there needs to be a registered TARGET along with accessKey and secretKey. I can't find anywhere on the server where that information is available and it's not clear to me how to create a new target. </p>
  
  <p>Here is the <code>/etc/default/minio</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MINIO_VOLUMES="/usr/local/share/minio"
  MINIO_OPTS="-C /etc/minio --address :9000"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There are no files in <code>/etc/minio</code>. </p>
  
  <p>It's running and set up, but how can I start actually using the minio server?</p>

  <p>Edit: Config JSON</p>
  
  <p>I tried creating a new config file and entering new <code>accessKey</code> and <code>secretKey</code> in the <code>credential</code> field. I was not able to sign in to the Minio Browser app using the same keys. </p>

  <p>Edit: Key Files</p>
  
  <p>I tried entering a new access key and secret key into the files <code>/etc/minio/access_key</code> and <code>/etc/minio/secret_key</code> and adding the following lines to the <code>/etc/default/minio</code> environment file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_FILE="/etc/minio/access_key"
  MINIO_SECRET_KEY_FILE="/etc/minio/secret_key"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I restarted the service <code>systemctl restart minio</code> but I still can't log into the Minio Browser app. </p>
