Configure S3 object storage

Keepstore can store data in object storage compatible with the S3 API, such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Ceph RADOS.

Volumes are configured in the Volumes section of the cluster configuration file.

Note that each volume has a UUID, like zzzzz-nyw5e-0123456789abcde. You assign these manually: replace zzzzz with your Cluster ID, and replace 0123456789abcde with an arbitrary unique string of 15 alphanumerics. Once assigned, UUIDs should not be changed.

Essential configuration values are highlighted in red. Remaining parameters are provided for documentation, with their default values.

    Volumes:
      ClusterID-nyw5e-000000000000000:
        AccessViaHosts:
          # This section determines which keepstore servers access the
          # volume. In this example, keep0 has read/write access, and
          # keep1 has read-only access.
          #
          # If the AccessViaHosts section is empty or omitted, all
          # keepstore servers will have read/write access to the
          # volume.
