✨ Features

Multi-format configuration support (TOML, YAML, JSON, ENV)
Environment variable integration and override
Configuration validation and type safety
Hot-reload capabilities for dynamic updates
Default value management and fallbacks
Secure credential handling and encryption

Environment Variable Naming Conventions

RustFS uses a flat naming style for top-level configuration: environment variables are RUSTFS_* without nested module segments.

Examples:

RUSTFS_REGION
RUSTFS_ADDRESS
RUSTFS_VOLUMES
RUSTFS_LICENSE
RUSTFS_LICENSE_PUBLIC_KEY

Current guidance:

Prefer module-specific names only when they are not top-level product configuration.
Renamed variables must keep backward-compatible aliases until before beta.
Alias usage must emit deprecation warnings and be treated as transitional only.
Deprecated example:
- RUSTFS_ENABLE_SCANNER -> RUSTFS_SCANNER_ENABLED
- RUSTFS_ENABLE_HEAL -> RUSTFS_HEAL_ENABLED
- RUSTFS_DATA_SCANNER_START_DELAY_SECS -> RUSTFS_SCANNER_START_DELAY_SECS

License environment variables

RUSTFS_LICENSE contains the signed license token.
RUSTFS_LICENSE_PUBLIC_KEY contains the RSA public key used to verify signed license tokens.

CORS environment variables

RUSTFS_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS defaults to empty, so the S3 endpoint emits no generic CORS headers unless configured. Set * for wildcard origins without credentials, or a comma-separated allow-list for credentialed explicit origins.
RUSTFS_CONSOLE_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS defaults to * for the console service.

Scanner environment aliases

RUSTFS_SCANNER_SPEED (canonical, also accepts MINIO_SCANNER_SPEED)
RUSTFS_SCANNER_DELAY (canonical)
RUSTFS_SCANNER_MAX_WAIT_SECS (canonical)
RUSTFS_SCANNER_CYCLE (canonical, also accepts MINIO_SCANNER_CYCLE)
RUSTFS_SCANNER_START_DELAY_SECS (canonical)
RUSTFS_DATA_SCANNER_START_DELAY_SECS (deprecated alias for compatibility)
RUSTFS_SCANNER_IDLE_MODE (canonical)
RUSTFS_SCANNER_CACHE_SAVE_TIMEOUT_SECS (canonical)
RUSTFS_SCANNER_CYCLE_MAX_DURATION_SECS (canonical)
RUSTFS_SCANNER_CYCLE_MAX_OBJECTS (canonical)
RUSTFS_SCANNER_CYCLE_MAX_DIRECTORIES (canonical)

Health compatibility switches

RUSTFS_HEALTH_ENDPOINT_ENABLE
- controls canonical /health, /health/live, and /health/ready endpoint exposure.
RUSTFS_HEALTH_MINIMAL_RESPONSE_ENABLE
- enables minimal payload mode for GET health responses (status, ready only).
RUSTFS_HEALTH_READINESS_CACHE_TTL_MS
- TTL for readiness cache evaluation.
RUSTFS_HEALTH_COMPAT_BUSY_CHECK_ENABLE
- enables busy protection behavior for health probes.
- default is false.
RUSTFS_HEALTH_COMPAT_BUSY_MAX_ACTIVE_REQUESTS
- max active HTTP requests; health probes return 429 when active requests reach or exceed this value.
- 0 disables thresholding even if busy protection is enabled.
RUSTFS_HEALTH_COMPAT_KMS_READY_CHECK_ENABLE
- enables KMS readiness enforcement for /health/ready.
- default is false.

Drive timeout environment variables

RUSTFS_DRIVE_METADATA_TIMEOUT_SECS
RUSTFS_DRIVE_DISK_INFO_TIMEOUT_SECS
RUSTFS_DRIVE_LIST_DIR_TIMEOUT_SECS
RUSTFS_DRIVE_WALKDIR_TIMEOUT_SECS
RUSTFS_DRIVE_WALKDIR_STALL_TIMEOUT_SECS

Legacy compatibility fallback:

RUSTFS_DRIVE_MAX_TIMEOUT_DURATION This legacy variable is treated as a deprecated fallback for the operation-specific drive timeout variables above when a canonical variable is unset.

Drive timeout health-action policy:

RUSTFS_DRIVE_TIMEOUT_HEALTH_ACTION
- mark_failure (default): timeout marks failure and may transition drive runtime state.
- ignore_scanner: timeout does not mark failure for scanner-sensitive operations (walk_dir, read_metadata, list_dir, disk_info).

Drive timeout profile preset:

RUSTFS_DRIVE_TIMEOUT_PROFILE
- default (default): keep current timeout defaults.
- high_latency: use 60s default timeout for scanner-sensitive operations when no per-operation timeout override is set (read_metadata, disk_info, list_dir, walk_dir, walk_dir_stall).
Precedence:
- Explicit per-operation timeout env (RUSTFS_DRIVE_*_TIMEOUT_SECS) takes highest precedence.
- Then RUSTFS_DRIVE_MAX_TIMEOUT_DURATION legacy fallback.
- Then the profile-derived default (default or high_latency).

Startup filesystem boundary policy

RUSTFS_UNSUPPORTED_FS_POLICY controls startup behavior when RustFS detects local endpoint filesystems that are outside the supported production boundary.
- warn (default): log warning and continue startup.
- fail: abort startup with an error.

RustFS production guidance remains direct-attached local POSIX filesystems. Network-mounted filesystems (for example nfs, cifs, smb2, and fuse.*) are treated as unsupported by this startup guard.
