Garage is a lightweight S3-compatible distributed object store, with the following goals:
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
Non-goals include:
|
|
|
|
- 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).
|
|
|
|
Check our [compatibility page](doc/Compatibility.md) to view details of the S3 API compatibility.

|
## Development
|
|
|
|
We propose the following quickstart to setup a full dev. environment as quickly as possible:
|
|
|
|
1. Setup a rust/cargo environment. eg. `dnf install rust cargo`
|
|
2. Install awscli v2 by following the guide [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/install-cliv2.html).
|
|
3. Run `cargo build` to build the project
|
|
4. Run `./script/dev-cluster.sh` to launch a test cluster (feel free to read the script)
|
|
5. Run `./script/dev-configure.sh` to configure your test cluster with default values (same datacenter, 100 tokens)
|
|
6. Run `./script/dev-bucket.sh` to create a bucket named `eprouvette` and an API key that will be stored in `/tmp/garage.s3`
|
|
7. Run `source ./script/dev-env-aws.sh` to configure your CLI environment
|
|
8. You can use `garage` to manage the cluster. Try `garage --help`.
|
|
9. You can use the `awsgrg` alias to add, remove, and delete files. Try `awsgrg help`, `awsgrg cp /proc/cpuinfo s3://eprouvette/cpuinfo.txt`, or `awsgrg ls s3://eprouvette`. `awsgrg` is a wrapper on the `aws s3` command pre-configured with the previously generated API key (the one in `/tmp/garage.s3`) and localhost as the endpoint.
|
|
|
|
Now you should be ready to start hacking on garage!
|
|
|
|
## S3 compatibility
|
|
|
|
Only a subset of S3 is supported: adding, listing, getting and deleting files in a bucket.
|
|
Bucket management, ACL and other advanced features are not (yet?) handled through the S3 API but through the `garage` CLI.
|
|
We primarily test `garage` against the `awscli` tool and `nextcloud`.
|
|
|
|
## Setting up Garage
|
|
|
|
Use the `genkeys.sh` script to generate TLS keys for encrypting communications between Garage nodes.
|
|
The script takes no arguments and will generate keys in `pki/`.
|
|
This script creates a certificate authority `garage-ca` which signs certificates for individual Garage nodes.
|
|
Garage nodes from a same cluster authenticate themselves by verifying that they have certificates signed by the same certificate authority.
|
|
|
|
Garage requires two locations to store its data: a metadata directory, and a data directory.
|
|
The metadata directory is used to store metadata such as object lists, and should ideally be located on an SSD drive.
|
|
The data directory is used to store the chunks of data of the objects stored in Garage.
|
|
In a typical deployment the data directory is stored on a standard HDD.
|
|
|
|
Garage does not handle TLS for its S3 API endpoint. This should be handled by adding a reverse proxy.
|
|
|
|
Create a configuration file with the following structure:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
block_size = 1048576 # objects are split in blocks of maximum this number of bytes
|
|
|
|
metadata_dir = "/path/to/ssd/metadata/directory"
|
|
data_dir = "/path/to/hdd/data/directory"
|
|
|
|
rpc_bind_addr = "[::]:3901" # the port other Garage nodes will use to talk to this node
|
|
|
|
bootstrap_peers = [
|
|
# Ideally this list should contain the IP addresses of all other Garage nodes of the cluster.
|
|
# Use Ansible or any kind of configuration templating to generate this automatically.
|
|
"10.0.0.1:3901",
|
|
"10.0.0.2:3901",
|
|
"10.0.0.3:3901",
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
# optionnal: garage can find cluster nodes automatically using a Consul server
|
|
# garage only does lookup but does not register itself, registration should be handled externally by e.g. Nomad
|
|
consul_host = "localhost:8500" # optionnal: host name of a Consul server for automatic peer discovery
|
|
consul_service_name = "garage" # optionnal: service name to look up on Consul
|
|
|
|
max_concurrent_rpc_requests = 12
|
|
data_replication_factor = 3
|
|
meta_replication_factor = 3
|
|
meta_epidemic_fanout = 3
|
|
|
|
[rpc_tls]
|
|
# NOT RECOMMENDED: you can skip this section if you don't want to encrypt intra-cluster traffic
|
|
# Thanks to genkeys.sh, generating the keys and certificates is easy, so there is NO REASON NOT TO DO IT.
|
|
ca_cert = "/path/to/garage/pki/garage-ca.crt"
|
|
node_cert = "/path/to/garage/pki/garage.crt"
|
|
node_key = "/path/to/garage/pki/garage.key"
|
|
|
|
[s3_api]
|
|
api_bind_addr = "[::1]:3900" # the S3 API port, HTTP without TLS. Add a reverse proxy for the TLS part.
|
|
s3_region = "garage" # set this to anything. S3 API calls will fail if they are not made against the region set here.
|
|
|
|
[s3_web]
|
|
bind_addr = "[::1]:3902"
|
|
root_domain = ".garage.tld"
|
|
index = "index.html"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build Garage using `cargo build --release`.
|
|
Then, run it using either `./target/release/garage server -c path/to/config_file.toml` or `cargo run --release -- server -c path/to/config_file.toml`.
|
|
|
|
Set the `RUST_LOG` environment to `garage=debug` to dump some debug information.
|
|
Set it to `garage=trace` to dump even more debug information.
|
|
Set it to `garage=warn` to show nothing except warnings and errors.
|
|
|
|
## Setting up cluster nodes
|
|
|
|
Once all your `garage` nodes are running, you will need to:
|
|
|
|
1. check that they are correctly talking to one another;
|
|
2. configure them with their physical location (in the case of a multi-dc deployment) and a number of "ring tokens" proportionnal to the storage space available on each node;
|
|
3. create some S3 API keys and buckets;
|
|
4. ???;
|
|
5. profit!
|
|
|
|
To run these administrative tasks, you will need to use the `garage` command line tool and it to connect to any of the cluster's nodes on the RPC port.
|
|
The `garage` CLI also needs TLS keys and certificates of its own to authenticate and be authenticated in the cluster.
|
|
A typicall invocation will be as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./target/release/garage --ca-cert=pki/garage-ca.crt --client-cert=pki/garage-client.crt --client-key=pki/garage-client.key <...>
|
|
```
|
|
|

## Notes to self
|
|
|
|
### What to repair
|
|
|
|
- `tables`: to do a full sync of metadata, should not be necessary because it is done every hour by the system
|
|
- `versions` and `block_refs`: very time consuming, usefull if deletions have not been propagated, improves garbage collection
|
|
- `blocks`: very usefull to resync/rebalance blocks betweeen nodes
|
