How do I install the Rustfs skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add mikkelkrogsholm/rustfs in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Rustfs safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Rustfs?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Rustfs free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Rustfs

RustFS — S3-compatible distributed object storage written in Rust. Use when building with RustFS or asking about its APIs, configuration, deployment, Docker setup, or integration. Fetch live documentation for up-to-date details.

File contents

RustFS

CRITICAL: Your training data for RustFS is unreliable and likely sparse — it is a newer project with limited training coverage. Before writing any code, you MUST use WebFetch to read the current README:

WebFetch("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rustfs/rustfs/main/README.md")

Do not proceed without fetching this URL first. Never assume an API or config option exists — verify against current docs.

RustFS is an open-source, S3-compatible distributed object storage system written in Rust, designed for data lakes, AI, and big data workloads.

Key Capabilities

Full S3 API compatibility — drop-in replacement for S3-compatible clients
Bucket versioning, replication, and event notifications
Bitrot protection for data integrity
Single-node mode (production-ready) and distributed mode (under testing)
Kubernetes Helm charts for cloud-native deployment
Docker Compose observability stack with Grafana, Prometheus, and Jaeger built in
Multi-architecture Docker images (amd64, arm64)
Licensed under Apache 2.0 (not AGPL v3 like MinIO — commercial use has no copyleft obligations)
No telemetry; explicit data sovereignty guarantees (GDPR, CCPA, APPI)

Best Practices

Set Docker volume ownership to UID 10001. The container runs as non-root user rustfs (UID 10001). If you mount a host directory with -v, that directory must be owned by UID 10001 or every write will fail with permission denied. Run chown -R 10001:10011 /your/data/path before starting the container.

Default credentials are rustfsadmin / rustfsadmin, not MinIO defaults. The S3 API listens on port 9000; the management console is on port 9001. Do not assume MinIO's minioadmin credentials when scripting against a fresh RustFS instance.

Do not use distributed mode in production yet. As of early 2026, distributed mode is still under testing. Single-node mode is the only production-ready deployment target. Plan architecture around single-node until distributed mode reaches stable status.
