# Garage

[![Build Status](https://drone.deuxfleurs.fr/api/badges/Deuxfleurs/garage/status.svg)](https://drone.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage)

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).
