## 📖 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).

## ✨ 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

## 📚 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_START_DELAY_SECS` (canonical)
- `RUSTFS_DATA_SCANNER_START_DELAY_SECS` (deprecated alias for compatibility)
