 ## Lemmy
 
-Lemmy uses pict-rs that [supports S3 backends](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/commit/f9f4fc63d670f357c93f24147c2ee3e1278e2d97)
+Lemmy uses pict-rs that [supports S3 backends](https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/commit/f9f4fc63d670f357c93f24147c2ee3e1278e2d97).
+This feature requires `pict-rs >= 4.0.0`.
+
+### Creating your bucket
+
+This is the usual Garage setup:
+
+```bash
+garage key new --name pictrs-key
+garage bucket create pictrs-data
+garage bucket allow pictrs-data --read --write --key pictrs-key
+```
+
+Note the Key ID and Secret Key.
+
+### Migrating your data
+
+If your pict-rs instance holds existing data, you first need to migrate to the S3 bucket.
+
+Stop pict-rs, then run the migration utility from local filesystem to the bucket:
+
+```
+pict-rs \
+  filesystem -p /path/to/existing/files \
+  object-store \
+   -e my-garage-instance.mydomain.tld:3900 \
+   -b pictrs-data \
+   -r garage \
+   -a GK... \
+   -s abcdef0123456789...
+```
+
+This is pretty slow, so hold on while migrating.
+
+### Running pict-rs with an S3 backend
+
+Pict-rs supports both a configuration file and environment variables.
+
+Either set the following section in your `pict-rs.toml`:
+
+```
+[store]
+type = 'object_storage'
+endpoint = 'http://my-garage-instance.mydomain.tld:3900'
+bucket_name = 'pictrs-data'
+region = 'garage'
+access_key = 'GK...'
+secret_key = 'abcdef0123456789...'
+```
+
+... or set these environment variables:
+
+
+```
+PICTRS__STORE__TYPE=object_storage
+PICTRS__STORE__ENDPOINT=http:/my-garage-instance.mydomain.tld:3900
+PICTRS__STORE__BUCKET_NAME=pictrs-data
+PICTRS__STORE__REGION=garage
+PICTRS__STORE__ACCESS_KEY=GK...
+PICTRS__STORE__SECRET_KEY=abcdef0123456789...
+```

+An object store can be used as data storage location for metrics, and logs which
+can then be leveraged for systems observability.
+
+## Metrics
+
+### Prometheus
+
+Prometheus itself has no object store capabilities, however two projects exist
+which support storing metrics in an object store:
+
+ - [Cortex](https://cortexmetrics.io/)
+ - [Thanos](https://thanos.io/)
+
+## System logs
+
+### Vector
+
+[Vector](https://vector.dev/) natively supports S3 as a
+[data sink](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sinks/aws_s3/)
+(and [source](https://vector.dev/docs/reference/configuration/sources/aws_s3/)).
+
+This can be configured with Garage with the following:
+
+```bash
+garage key new --name vector-system-logs
+garage bucket create system-logs
+garage bucket allow system-logs --read --write --key vector-system-logs
+```
+
+The `vector.toml` can then be configured as follows:
+
+```toml
+[sources.journald]
+type = "journald"
+current_boot_only = true
+
+[sinks.out]
+encoding.codec = "json"
+type = "aws_s3"
+inputs = [ "journald" ]
+bucket = "system-logs"
+key_prefix = "%F/"
+compression = "none"
+region = "garage"
+endpoint = "https://my-garage-instance.mydomain.tld"
+auth.access_key_id = ""
+auth.secret_access_key = ""
+```
+
+This is an example configuration - please refer to the Vector documentation for
+all configuration and transformation possibilities. Also note that Garage
+performs its own compression, so this should be disabled in Vector.
