Zhengchao An cf2da0c44d refactor(object-capacity): remove the decorative SymlinkTracker and its no-op depth knob (#4571)
The tracker never influenced traversal: walkdir's follow behavior is
fixed up front by follow_links(), and should_follow() only gated the
tracker's own bookkeeping. Its 'depth limit' compared tree depth (not
symlink chain depth), so RUSTFS_CAPACITY_MAX_SYMLINK_DEPTH was a
complete no-op while its telemetry claimed symlinks were skipped that
walkdir had in fact followed and counted; record_symlink was always
called with size 0, so tracked_bytes never left zero (S12).

Remove the tracker, its skipped/summary events, the symlink metric and
the depth env knob end to end (the env's 'as u8' truncation goes with
it), and document the real semantics at the walker: follow_links(true)
counts targets with walkdir's ancestor-loop detection breaking cycles,
follow_links(false) — the default — counts no symlink targets. The scan
root itself is pre-resolved since backlog#1015.

English | Simplified Chinese

RustFS is a high-performance distributed object storage software built using Rust, one of the most popular languages worldwide. Along with MinIO, it shares a range of advantages such as simplicity, broad S3 API compatibility for supported features, open-source nature, support for data lakes, AI, and big data. Furthermore, it has a better and more user-friendly open-source license in comparison to other storage systems, being constructed under the Apache license. As Rust serves as its foundation, RustFS provides faster speed and safer distributed features for high-performance object storage.

Features

  • High Performance: Built with Rust, ensuring speed and efficiency.
  • Distributed Architecture: Scalable and fault-tolerant design for large-scale deployments.
  • S3 Compatibility: Integration with common S3-compatible applications; current coverage is tracked in the S3 compatibility matrix.
  • Data Lake Support: Optimized for big data and AI workloads.
  • Open Source: Licensed under Apache 2.0, encouraging community contributions and transparency.
  • User-Friendly: Designed with simplicity in mind, making it easy to deploy and manage.

RustFS vs Other object storage

RustFS Other object storage
Powerful Console Simple and useless Console
Developed based on Rust language, memory is safer Developed in Go or C, with potential issues like memory GC/leaks
Does not report logs to third-party countries Reporting logs to other third countries may violate national security laws
Licensed under Apache, more business-friendly AGPL V3 License and other License, polluted open source and License traps, infringement of intellectual property rights
S3-compatible core, with coverage tracked in the compatibility matrix Variable S3 support and local cloud vendor coverage
Rust-based development, strong support for secure and innovative devices Poor support for edge gateways and secure innovative devices
Stable commercial prices, free community support High pricing, with costs up to $250,000 for 1PiB
No risk Intellectual property risks and risks of prohibited uses

Quickstart

To get started with RustFS, follow these steps:

  1. One-click installation script (Option 1)

    curl -O  https://rustfs.com/install_rustfs.sh && bash install_rustfs.sh
    
  2. Docker Quick Start (Option 2)

 # Docker Hub (recommended)
 docker run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /data:/data rustfs/rustfs:latest

 # Alternative using Podman
 podman run -d -p 9000:9000 -v /data:/data rustfs/rustfs:latest
  1. Access the Console: Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9001 to access the RustFS console, default username and password is rustfsadmin .
  2. Create a Bucket: Use the console to create a new bucket for your objects.
  3. Upload Objects: You can upload files directly through the console or use S3-compatible APIs to interact with your RustFS instance.
