Garage

Garage

An open-source distributed object storage service tailored for
self-hosting

Download Get Started
[host] Host a Website [store] Store Media [backup] Backup Target

Made for redundancy

Each chunk of data is replicated in 3 zones

[serve] Zone (multiple servers)
[datac] Chunks of data

Our Goals

We made it lightweight and kept the efficiency in mind:

  * Self-contained

    We ship a single dependency-free binary that runs on all Linux
    distributions

  * Fast to deploy, safe to operate

    We are sysadmins, we know the value of operator-friendly software

  * Deploy everywhere on every machine

    We do not have a dedicated backbone, and neither do you,
    so we made software that run over the Internet across multiple
    datacenters

  * Highly resilient
    to network failures, network latency, disk failures, sysadmin
    failures

Keeping requirements low

We worked hard to keep requirements as low as possible:

  * [cp] CPU
    Any x86_64 CPU from the last 10 years, ARMv7 or ARMv8
  * [ra] RAM
    1 GB
  * [di] Disk space
    At least 16 GB
  * [ne] Network
    200 ms or less, 50 Mbps or more
  * [ha] Heterogeneous hardware
    Build a cluster with whatever second-hand machines are available

Data resiliency for everyone

We built Garage to suit your existing infrastructure:

Garage implements the Amazon S3 API
and thus is already compatible with many applications.

  * Nextcloud
  * Matrix
  * Cyberduck
  * Mastodon
  * Rclone
  * PeerTube

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Garage leverages insights from recent research in distributed
systems:

  * Dynamo: Amazon's Highly Available Key-value Store by DeCandia et
    al.
  * Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types by Shapiro et al.
  * Maglev: A Fast and Reliable Software Network Load Balancer by
    Eisenbud et al.

Sponsors and funding

The Deuxfleurs association has received a grant from NGI POINTER, to
fund 3 people working on Garage full-time for a year : from October
2021 to September 2022.

If you want to fund Garage development past its initial grant, either
through donation or support contract, please get in touch with us
