#### S3-compatible, high-performance object storage

RustFS is an open-source object storage server compatible with the
Amazon S3 API. It supports versioning, object lock, encryption,
lifecycle rules, replication, erasure coding and a web console, and can
migrate data from other S3-compatible services such as MinIO and Ceph.

**Getting started**

The service starts right after installation. It listens on
127.0.0.1:9000 (S3 API) and 127.0.0.1:9001 (web console) and stores data
in /var/snap/rustfs/common/data. Random credentials are generated at
installation:

```
sudo cat /var/snap/rustfs/common/credentials/access-key
sudo cat /var/snap/rustfs/common/credentials/secret-key
```

To open it to your network:

```
sudo snap set rustfs address=:9000 console-address=:9001
```

The web console is at <http://127.0.0.1:9001/rustfs/console/>.

**Storage on other drives**

To store data on disks mounted under /media or /mnt:

```
sudo snap connect rustfs:removable-media
sudo snap set rustfs volumes=/mnt/disk1/rustfs
```

For erasure coding across several disks, also run:

```
sudo snap connect rustfs:mount-observe
sudo snap set rustfs volumes='/mnt/disk{1...4}/rustfs'
```

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install RustFS

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install RustFS

To install RustFS, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install rustfs
