### Using `sling conns`

Here are examples of setting a connection named `MINIO_BUCKET`. We must provide the `type=s3` property:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
$ sling conns set MINIO_BUCKET type=s3 bucket=sling-bucket access_key_id=ACCESS_KEY_ID secret_access_key="SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" endpoint=<endpoint> url_style=path
```

{% endcode %}

### Environment Variable

See [here](https://docs.slingdata.io/sling-cli/environment#dot-env-file-.env.sling) to learn more about the `.env.sling` file.

In JSON/YAML format:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
export MINIO_BUCKET='{type: s3, bucket: sling-bucket, access_key_id: ACCESS_KEY_ID, secret_access_key: "SECRET_ACCESS_KEY", endpoint: <endpoint>, url_style: path}'
```

{% endcode %}

### Sling Env File YAML

See [here](https://docs.slingdata.io/sling-cli/environment#sling-env-file-env.yaml) to learn more about the sling `env.yaml` file.

```yaml
connections:
  MINIO_BUCKET:
    type: s3
    bucket: <bucket>
    access_key_id: <access_key_id>
    secret_access_key: '<secret_access_key>'
    endpoint: '<endpoint>'
    url_style: path
```
