FrostFS

FrostFS is a decentralized distributed object storage integrated with the NEO Blockchain.

--- [![Report](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-node)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-node) ![GitHub release (latest SemVer)](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-node?sort=semver) ![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-node.svg?style=popout) # Overview FrostFS Nodes are organized in a peer-to-peer network that takes care of storing and distributing user's data. Any Neo user may participate in the network and get paid for providing storage resources to other users or store their data in FrostFS and pay a competitive price for it. Users can reliably store object data in the FrostFS network and have a transparent data placement process due to a decentralized architecture and flexible storage policies. Each node is responsible for executing the storage policies that the users select for geographical location, reliability level, number of nodes, type of disks, capacity, etc. Thus, FrostFS gives full control over data to users. Deep [Neo Blockchain](https://neo.org) integration allows FrostFS to be used by dApps directly from [NeoVM](https://docs.neo.org/docs/en-us/basic/technology/neovm.html) on the [Smart Contract](https://docs.neo.org/docs/en-us/intro/glossary.html) code level. This way dApps are not limited to on-chain storage and can manipulate large amounts of data without paying a prohibitive price. FrostFS has a native [gRPC API](https://git.frostfs.info/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-api) and has protocol gateways for popular protocols such as [AWS S3](https://github.com/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-s3-gw), [HTTP](https://github.com/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-http-gw), [FUSE](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace) and [sFTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol) allowing developers to integrate applications without rewriting their code. # Supported platforms Now, we only support GNU/Linux on amd64 CPUs with AVX/AVX2 instructions. More platforms will be officially supported after release `1.0`. The latest version of frostfs-node works with frostfs-contract [v0.16.0](https://github.com/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-contract/releases/tag/v0.16.0). # Building To make all binaries you need Go 1.18+ and `make`: ``` make all ``` The resulting binaries will appear in `bin/` folder. To make a specific binary use: ``` make bin/frostfs- ``` See the list of all available commands in the `cmd` folder. ## Building with Docker Building can also be performed in a container: ``` make docker/all # build all binaries make docker/bin/frostfs- # build a specific binary ``` ## Docker images To make docker images suitable for use in [frostfs-dev-env](https://github.com/TrueCloudLab/frostfs-dev-env/) use: ``` make images ``` # Contributing Feel free to contribute to this project after reading the [contributing guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).
