RustFS is a high-performance, distributed object storage system built in Rust—one of the most loved programming languages worldwide. RustFS combines the simplicity of MinIO with the memory safety and raw performance of Rust. It offers full S3 compatibility, is completely open-source, and is optimized for data lakes, AI, and big data workloads.

Unlike other storage systems, RustFS is released under the permissible Apache 2.0 license, avoiding the restrictions of AGPL. With Rust as its foundation, RustFS delivers superior speed and secure distributed features for next-generation object storage.

### RustFS vs Other Object Storage

| Feature | RustFS | Other Object Storage |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Console Experience** | **Powerful Console**<br>Comprehensive management interface. | **Basic / Limited Console**<br>Often overly simple or lacking critical features. |
| **Language & Safety** | **Rust-based**<br>Memory safety by design. | **Go or C-based**<br>Potential for memory GC pauses or leaks. |
| **Data Sovereignty** | **No Telemetry / Full Compliance**<br>Guards against unauthorized cross-border data egress. Compliant with GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA (US), and APPI (Japan). | **Potential Risk**<br>Possible legal exposure and unwanted data telemetry. |
| **Licensing** | **Permissive Apache 2.0**<br>Business-friendly, no "poison pill" clauses. | **Restrictive AGPL v3**<br>Risk of license traps and intellectual property pollution. |
| **Compatibility** | **100% S3 Compatible**<br>Works with any cloud provider or client, anywhere. | **Variable Compatibility**<br>May lack support for local cloud vendors or specific APIs. |
| **Edge & IoT** | **Strong Edge Support**<br>Ideal for secure, innovative edge devices. | **Weak Edge Support**<br>Often too heavy for edge gateways. |
| **Risk Profile** | **Enterprise Risk Mitigation**<br>Clear IP rights and safe for commercial use. | **Legal Risks**<br>Intellectual property ambiguity and usage restrictions. |


## Staying ahead

Star RustFS on GitHub and be instantly notified of new releases.

## Quickstart

To get started with RustFS, follow these steps:

### 1. One-click Installation (Option 1)

  ```bash
  curl -O https://rustfs.com/install_rustfs.sh && bash install_rustfs.sh
````

### 2\. Docker Quick Start (Option 2)

The RustFS container runs as a non-root user `rustfs` (UID `10001`). If you run Docker with `-v` to mount a host directory, please ensure the host directory owner is set to `10001`, otherwise you will encounter permission denied errors.

```bash
 # Create data and logs directories
 mkdir -p data logs

 # Change the owner of these directories
 chown -R 10001:10001 data logs

 # Using latest version
 docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 -v $(pwd)/data:/data -v $(pwd)/logs:/logs rustfs/rustfs:latest

 # Using specific version
 docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 -v $(pwd)/data:/data -v $(pwd)/logs:/logs rustfs/rustfs:1.0.0-alpha.76
```

You can also use Docker Compose. Using the `docker-compose.yml` file in the root directory:

```bash
docker compose --profile observability up -d
```

**NOTE**: We recommend reviewing the `docker-compose.yaml` file before running. It defines several services including Grafana, Prometheus, and Jaeger, which are helpful for RustFS observability. If you wish to start Redis or Nginx containers, you can specify the corresponding profiles.

### 3\. Build from Source (Option 3) - Advanced Users

For developers who want to build RustFS Docker images from source with multi-architecture support:

```bash
# Build multi-architecture images locally
./docker-buildx.sh --build-arg RELEASE=latest

# Build and push to registry
./docker-buildx.sh --push

# Build specific version
./docker-buildx.sh --release v1.0.0 --push

# Build for custom registry
./docker-buildx.sh --registry your-registry.com --namespace yourname --push
```

The `docker-buildx.sh` script supports:
\- **Multi-architecture builds**: `linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64`
\- **Automatic version detection**: Uses git tags or commit hashes
\- **Registry flexibility**: Supports Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, etc.
\- **Build optimization**: Includes caching and parallel builds

You can also use Make targets for convenience:

```bash
make docker-buildx                    # Build locally
make docker-buildx-push               # Build and push
make docker-buildx-version VERSION=v1.0.0  # Build specific version
make help-docker                      # Show all Docker-related commands
```

> **Heads-up (macOS cross-compilation)**: macOS keeps the default `ulimit -n` at 256, so `cargo zigbuild` or `./build-rustfs.sh --platform ...` may fail with `ProcessFdQuotaExceeded` when targeting Linux. The build script attempts to raise the limit automatically, but if you still see the warning, run `ulimit -n 4096` (or higher) in your shell before building.

### 4\. Build with Helm Chart (Option 4) - Cloud Native

Follow the instructions in the [Helm Chart README](https://charts.rustfs.com/) to install RustFS on a Kubernetes cluster.

### 5\. Nix Flake (Option 5)

If you have [Nix with flakes enabled](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes#Enable_flakes):

```bash
# Run directly without installing
nix run github:rustfs/rustfs

# Build the binary
nix build github:rustfs/rustfs
./result/bin/rustfs --help

# Or from a local checkout
nix build
nix run
```

### Accessing RustFS

5.  **Access the Console**: Open your web browser and navigate to `http://localhost:9001` to access the RustFS console.
      * Default credentials: `rustfsadmin` / `rustfsadmin`
6.  **Create a Bucket**: Use the console to create a new bucket for your objects.
7.  **Upload Objects**: You can upload files directly through the console or use S3-compatible APIs/clients to interact with your RustFS instance.

**NOTE**: To access the RustFS instance via `https`, please refer to the [TLS Configuration Docs](https://docs.rustfs.com/integration/tls-configured.html).
