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.
- High Performance: Built with Rust to ensure maximum speed and resource efficiency.
- Distributed Architecture: Scalable and fault-tolerant design suitable for large-scale deployments.
- S3 Compatibility: Seamless integration with existing S3-compatible applications and tools.
- Data Lake Support: Optimized for high-throughput big data and AI workloads.
- Open Source: Licensed under Apache 2.0, encouraging unrestricted community contributions and commercial usage.
- User-Friendly: Designed with simplicity in mind for easy deployment and management.

| Feature | RustFS | Other Object Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Console Experience | Powerful Console Comprehensive management interface. | Basic / Limited Console Often overly simple or lacking critical features. |
| Language & Safety | Rust-based Memory safety by design. | Go or C-based Potential for memory GC pauses or leaks. |
| Data Sovereignty | No Telemetry / Full Compliance Guards against unauthorized cross-border data egress. Compliant with GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA (US), and APPI (Japan). | Potential Risk Possible legal exposure and unwanted data telemetry. |
| Licensing | Permissive Apache 2.0 Business-friendly, no "poison pill" clauses. | Restrictive AGPL v3 Risk of license traps and intellectual property pollution. |
| Compatibility | 100% S3 Compatible Works with any cloud provider or client, anywhere. | Variable Compatibility May lack support for local cloud vendors or specific APIs. |
| Edge & IoT | Strong Edge Support Ideal for secure, innovative edge devices. | Weak Edge Support Often too heavy for edge gateways. |
| Cost | Stable & Free Free community support, stable commercial pricing. | High Cost Can cost up to $250,000 for 1PiB. |
| Risk Profile | Enterprise Risk Mitigation Clear IP rights and safe for commercial use. | Legal Risks Intellectual property ambiguity and usage restrictions. |
To get started with RustFS, follow these steps:
curl -O https://rustfs.com/install_rustfs.sh&& bash install_rustfs.shThe RustFS container runs as a non-root userrustfs (UID10001). If you run Docker with-v to mount a host directory, please ensure the host directory owner is set to10001, otherwise you will encounter permission denied errors.
# Create data and logs directories mkdir -p data logs# Change the owner of these directories chown -R 10001:10001 data logs# Using latest version docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 -v$(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.68
You can also use Docker Compose. Using thedocker-compose.yml file in the root directory:
docker compose --profile observability up -d
NOTE: We recommend reviewing thedocker-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.
For developers who want to build RustFS Docker images from source with multi-architecture support:
# 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
Thedocker-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:
make docker-buildx# Build locallymake docker-buildx-push# Build and pushmake docker-buildx-version VERSION=v1.0.0# Build specific versionmake help-docker# Show all Docker-related commands
Heads-up (macOS cross-compilation): macOS keeps the default
ulimit -nat 256, socargo zigbuildor./build-rustfs.sh --platform ...may fail withProcessFdQuotaExceededwhen targeting Linux. The build script attempts to raise the limit automatically, but if you still see the warning, runulimit -n 4096(or higher) in your shell before building.
Follow the instructions in theHelm Chart README to install RustFS on a Kubernetes cluster.
- Access the Console: Open your web browser and navigate to
http://localhost:9000to access the RustFS console.- Default credentials:
rustfsadmin/rustfsadmin
- Default credentials:
- Create a Bucket: Use the console to create a new bucket for your objects.
- 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 viahttps, please refer to theTLS Configuration Docs.
For detailed documentation, including configuration options, API references, and advanced usage, please visit ourDocumentation.
