The step numbering in the documentation has a duplicate - both MinIO and dbt ins
8000
tallation sections are labeled as step 5. To maintain consistent numbering throughout the guide, please update the dbt installation section to # 6 Install dbt using pip.

| You can do this by just deleting everything in the bucket: | ||
|
|

| ```shell | ||
| rm ./data/lightdash/* |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Removing files directly from the filesystem with rm ./data/lightdash/* while MinIO is running can lead to inconsistencies between MinIO's internal state and the actual filesystem. For safer bucket management, consider using the MinIO client instead:
mc rm --recursive --force local/lightdash/This ensures MinIO properly tracks all deletions and maintains consistency between its metadata and the underlying storage.
Suggested change
| rm ./data/lightdash/* | |
| mc rm --recursive --force local/lightdash/ |

Instructions for running a lightweight minio server locally for development with S3 APIs.
Local resource consumption around 0.1% CPU and 250mb memory. Maybe there's something simpler we can run with even less memory?
This runs minio in "filesystem" mode which doesn't support the full S3 API (e.g. lifecycle policies, so I couldn't auto delete stuff).
