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
|
||||
- Easy to set up
|
||||
- Highly resilient to network failures, network latency, disk failures, sysadmin failures
|
||||
- Relatively simple
|
||||
- Made for multi-datacenter deployments
|
||||
Garage is designed for storage clusters composed of nodes running
|
||||
at different physical locations,
|
||||
in order to easily provide a storage service that replicates data at these different
|
||||
locations and stays available even when some servers are unreachable.
|
||||
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
|
||||
- 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).

Garage is an opinionated object storage solutoin, we focus on the following **desirable properties**:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Internet enabled**: made for multi-sites (eg. datacenters, offices, households, etc.) interconnected through regular Internet connections.
|
||||
- **Self-contained & lightweight**: works everywhere and integrates well in existing environments to target [hyperconverged infrastructures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-converged_infrastructure).
|
||||
- **Highly resilient**: highly resilient to network failures, network latency, disk failures, sysadmin failures.
|
||||
- **Simple**: simple to understand, simple to operate, simple to debug.
|
||||
- **Internet enabled**: made for multi-sites (eg. datacenters, offices, households, etc.) interconnected through regular Internet connections.
|
||||
|
||||
We also noted that the pursuit of some other goals are detrimental to our initial goals.
|
||||
The following has been identified as **non-goals** (if these points matter to you, you should not use Garage):
