Garage is a lightweight S3-compatible distributed object store, with the following goals: Garage is an S3-compatible distributed object storage service
designed for self-hosting at a small-to-medium scale.
- As self-contained as possible Garage is designed for storage clusters composed of nodes running
- Easy to set up at different physical locations,
- Highly resilient to network failures, network latency, disk failures, sysadmin failures in order to easily provide a storage service that replicates data at these different
- Relatively simple locations and stays available even when some servers are unreachable.
- Made for multi-datacenter deployments Garage also focuses on being lightweight, easy to operate, and highly resilient to
machine failures.
Non-goals include: Garage is built by [Deuxfleurs](https://deuxfleurs.fr),
an experimental small-scale self hosted service provider,
which has been using it in production since its first release in 2020.
- Extremely high performance Learn more on our dedicated documentation pages:
- Complete implementation of the S3 API
- Erasure coding (our replication model is simply to copy the data as is on several nodes, in different datacenters if possible)
Our main use case is to provide a distributed storage layer for small-scale self hosted services such as [Deuxfleurs](https://deuxfleurs.fr). - [Goals and use cases](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/design/goals/)
- [Features](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/reference-manual/features/)
- [Quick start](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/quick-start/)
Garage is entirely free software released under the terms of the AGPLv3.
