help Garage FAQ

Is Garage the same thing as Google Cloud Storage?

No. Garage is a separate open-source, self-hosted object-storage project created by Deuxfleurs, while Google Cloud Storage is Google's managed cloud service. Garage provides an S3-compatible API for organizations that want to run storage on their own infrastructure.

What does Garage use instead of a traditional file system interface?

Garage stores data as objects in buckets and exposes an S3-compatible API, so applications can use familiar S3 tools and libraries. It is intended for distributed clusters rather than ordinary local folders.

Can Garage replicate data across different physical locations?

Yes. Garage is designed for small and medium-sized self-hosted clusters whose nodes may be located in different places. Its replication model is intended to keep the service available when some servers are unreachable.

Is Garage free to use?

The Garage software is free software released under the AGPLv3 license. That does not make the hardware, disks, electricity, administration, or network links free when an organization runs its own cluster.
