Rustfs
🚀2.3x faster than MinIO for 4KB object payloads. RustFS is an open-source, S3-compatible high-performance object storage system supporting migration and coexistence with other S3-compatible platforms such as MinIO and Ceph.
Install / Use
/learn @rustfs/RustfsREADME
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.

To get started with RustFS, follow these steps:
1. One-click Installation (Option 1)
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.
# 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
If you use podman instead of docker, you can install the RustFS with the below command
podman run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 -v $(pwd)/data:/data -v $(pwd)/logs:/logs rustfs/rustfs:latest
You can also use Docker Compose. Using the docker-compose.yml file in the root directory:
docker compose --profile observability up -d
Similarly, you can run the command with podman
podman 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:
# Build multi-architecture images locally
./docker-bui
