 # MyFSIO

-A lightweight, S3-compatible object storage system built with Flask. MyFSIO implements core AWS S3 REST API operations with filesystem-backed storage, making it ideal for local development, testing, and self-hosted storage scenarios.
+MyFSIO is an S3-compatible object storage server with a Rust runtime and a filesystem-backed storage engine. The active server lives under `rust/myfsio-engine` and serves both the S3 API and the built-in web UI from a single process.
+
+The repository still contains a `python/` tree, but you do not need Python to run the current server.

 ## Features

-**Core Storage**
- S3-compatible REST API with AWS Signature Version 4 authentication
- Bucket and object CRUD operations
- Object versioning with version history
- Multipart uploads for large files
- Presigned URLs (1 second to 7 days validity)
+- S3-compatible REST API with Signature Version 4 authentication
+- Browser UI for buckets, objects, IAM users, policies, replication, metrics, and site administration
+- Filesystem-backed storage rooted at `data/`
+- Bucket versioning, multipart uploads, presigned URLs, CORS, object and bucket tagging
+- Server-side encryption and built-in KMS support
+- Optional background services for lifecycle, garbage collection, integrity scanning, operation metrics, and system metrics history
+- Replication, site sync, and static website hosting support

-**Security & Access Control**
- IAM users with access key management and rotation
- Bucket policies (AWS Policy Version 2012-10-17)
- Server-side encryption (SSE-S3 and SSE-KMS)
- Built-in Key Management Service (KMS)
- Rate limiting per endpoint
+## Runtime Model

-**Advanced Features**
- Cross-bucket replication to remote S3-compatible endpoints
- Hot-reload for bucket policies (no restart required)
- CORS configuration per bucket
+MyFSIO now runs as one Rust process:

-**Management UI**
- Web console for bucket and object management
- IAM dashboard for user administration
- Inline JSON policy editor with presets
- Object browser with folder navigation and bulk operations
- Dark mode support
+- API listener on `HOST` + `PORT` (default `127.0.0.1:5000`)
+- UI listener on `HOST` + `UI_PORT` (default `127.0.0.1:5100`)
+- Shared state for storage, IAM, policies, sessions, metrics, and background workers

-| data/<bucket>/   |         | - IAM config     |
-|   <objects>      |         | - Bucket policies|
-|                  |         | - Encryption keys|
-+------------------+         +------------------+
-```
+If you want API-only mode, set `UI_ENABLED=false`. There is no separate "UI-only" runtime anymore.

 ## Quick Start

+From the repository root:
+
 ```bash
-# Clone and setup
-git clone https://gitea.jzwsite.com/kqjy/MyFSIO
-cd s3
-python -m venv .venv
-
-# Activate virtual environment
-# Windows PowerShell:
-.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
-# Windows CMD:
-.venv\Scripts\activate.bat
-# Linux/macOS:
-source .venv/bin/activate
-
-# Install dependencies
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-
-# Start both servers
-python run.py
-
-# Or start individually
-python run.py --mode api   # API only (port 5000)
-python run.py --mode ui    # UI only (port 5100)
+cd rust/myfsio-engine
+cargo run -p myfsio-server --
 ```

-**Default Credentials:** `localadmin` / `localadmin`
+Useful URLs:

- **Web Console:** http://127.0.0.1:5100/ui
- **API Endpoint:** http://127.0.0.1:5000
+- UI: `http://127.0.0.1:5100/ui`
+- API: `http://127.0.0.1:5000/`
+- Health: `http://127.0.0.1:5000/myfsio/health`
+
+On first boot, MyFSIO creates `data/.myfsio.sys/config/iam.json` and prints the generated admin access key and secret key to the console.
+
+### Common CLI commands
+
+```bash
+# Show resolved configuration
+cargo run -p myfsio-server -- --show-config
+
+# Validate configuration and exit non-zero on critical issues
+cargo run -p myfsio-server -- --check-config
+
+# Reset admin credentials
+cargo run -p myfsio-server -- --reset-cred
+
+# API only
+UI_ENABLED=false cargo run -p myfsio-server --
+```
+
+## Building a Binary
+
+```bash
+cd rust/myfsio-engine
+cargo build --release -p myfsio-server
+```
+
+Binary locations:
+
+- Linux/macOS: `rust/myfsio-engine/target/release/myfsio-server`
+- Windows: `rust/myfsio-engine/target/release/myfsio-server.exe`
+
+Run the built binary directly:
+
+```bash
+./target/release/myfsio-server
+```

 ## Configuration

+The server reads environment variables from the process environment and also loads, when present:
+
+- `/opt/myfsio/myfsio.env`
+- `.env`

-## IAM & Access Control
-
-### Users and Access Keys
-
-On first run, MyFSIO creates a default admin user (`localadmin`/`localadmin`). Use the IAM dashboard to:
-
- Create and delete users
- Generate and rotate access keys
- Attach inline policies to users
- Control IAM management permissions
-
-### Bucket Policies
-
-Bucket policies follow AWS policy grammar (Version `2012-10-17`) with support for:
-
- Principal-based access (`*` for anonymous, specific users)
- Action-based permissions (`s3:GetObject`, `s3:PutObject`, etc.)
- Resource patterns (`arn:aws:s3:::bucket/*`)
- Condition keys
-
-**Policy Presets:**
- **Public:** Grants anonymous read access (`s3:GetObject`, `s3:ListBucket`)
- **Private:** Removes bucket policy (IAM-only access)
- **Custom:** Manual policy editing with draft preservation
-
-Policies hot-reload when the JSON file changes.
-
-## Server-Side Encryption
-
-MyFSIO supports two encryption modes:
-
- **SSE-S3:** Server-managed keys with automatic key rotation
- **SSE-KMS:** Customer-managed keys via built-in KMS
-
-Enable encryption with:
-```bash
-ENCRYPTION_ENABLED=true python run.py
-```
-
-## Cross-Bucket Replication
-
-Replicate objects to remote S3-compatible endpoints:
-
-1. Configure remote connections in the UI
-2. Create replication rules specifying source/destination
-3. Objects are automatically replicated on upload
-
 ## Docker

+Build the Rust image from the `rust/` directory:
+
 ```bash
-docker build -t myfsio .
-docker run -p 5000:5000 -p 5100:5100 -v ./data:/app/data myfsio
+docker build -t myfsio ./rust
+docker run --rm -p 5000:5000 -p 5100:5100 -v "${PWD}/data:/app/data" myfsio
 ```

+If the instance sits behind a reverse proxy, set `API_BASE_URL` to the public S3 endpoint.
+
+## Linux Installation
+
+The repository includes `scripts/install.sh` for systemd-style Linux installs. Build the Rust binary first, then pass it to the installer:
+
+```bash
+cd rust/myfsio-engine
+cargo build --release -p myfsio-server
+
+cd ../..
+sudo ./scripts/install.sh --binary ./rust/myfsio-engine/target/release/myfsio-server
+```
+
+The installer copies the binary into `/opt/myfsio/myfsio`, writes `/opt/myfsio/myfsio.env`, and can register a `myfsio.service` unit.
+
 ## Testing

+Run the Rust test suite from the workspace:
+
 ```bash
-# Run all tests
-pytest tests/ -v
-
-# Run specific test file
-pytest tests/test_api.py -v
-
-# Run with coverage
-pytest tests/ --cov=app --cov-report=html
+cd rust/myfsio-engine
+cargo test
 ```
