Configuration management and validation module for RustFS distributed object storage
--- ## ๐ Overview **RustFS Config** provides configuration management and validation capabilities for the [RustFS](https://rustfs.com) distributed object storage system. For the complete RustFS experience, please visit the [main RustFS repository](https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs). ## โจ Features - Multi-format configuration support (TOML, YAML, JSON, ENV) - Environment variable integration and override - Configuration validation and type safety - Hot-reload capabilities for dynamic updates - Default value management and fallbacks - Secure credential handling and encryption ## ๐ Documentation For comprehensive documentation, examples, and usage guides, please visit the main [RustFS repository](https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs). ## Environment Variable Naming Conventions RustFS uses a flat naming style for top-level configuration: environment variables are `RUSTFS_*` without nested module segments. Examples: - `RUSTFS_REGION` - `RUSTFS_ADDRESS` - `RUSTFS_VOLUMES` - `RUSTFS_LICENSE` Current guidance: - Prefer module-specific names only when they are not top-level product configuration. - Renamed variables must keep backward-compatible aliases until before beta. - Alias usage must emit deprecation warnings and be treated as transitional only. - Deprecated example: - `RUSTFS_ENABLE_SCANNER` -> `RUSTFS_SCANNER_ENABLED` - `RUSTFS_ENABLE_HEAL` -> `RUSTFS_HEAL_ENABLED` - `RUSTFS_DATA_SCANNER_START_DELAY_SECS` -> `RUSTFS_SCANNER_START_DELAY_SECS` ## Scanner environment aliases - `RUSTFS_SCANNER_SPEED` (canonical, also accepts `MINIO_SCANNER_SPEED`) - `RUSTFS_SCANNER_CYCLE` (canonical, also accepts `MINIO_SCANNER_CYCLE`) - `RUSTFS_SCANNER_START_DELAY_SECS` (canonical) - `RUSTFS_DATA_SCANNER_START_DELAY_SECS` (deprecated alias for compatibility) - `RUSTFS_SCANNER_IDLE_MODE` (canonical) - `RUSTFS_SCANNER_CACHE_SAVE_TIMEOUT_SECS` (canonical) ## Drive timeout environment variables - `RUSTFS_DRIVE_METADATA_TIMEOUT_SECS` - `RUSTFS_DRIVE_DISK_INFO_TIMEOUT_SECS` - `RUSTFS_DRIVE_LIST_DIR_TIMEOUT_SECS` - `RUSTFS_DRIVE_WALKDIR_TIMEOUT_SECS` - `RUSTFS_DRIVE_WALKDIR_STALL_TIMEOUT_SECS` Legacy compatibility fallback: - `RUSTFS_DRIVE_MAX_TIMEOUT_DURATION` This legacy variable is treated as a deprecated fallback for the operation-specific drive timeout variables above when a canonical variable is unset. ## ๐ License This project is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 - see the [LICENSE](../../LICENSE) file for details.
