RustFS is an Apache 2.0 licensed, open-source S3-compatible object storage server written in Rust that's gaining attention as a MinIO alternative. This guide walks through installing RustFS on TrueNAS using single-node single-disk mode, creating datasets and buckets, configuring access keys, and integrating with XCP-ng for backups. By default, RustFS is permissive with bucket access, requiring IAM policies for security restrictions. While newer than established alternatives like MinIO, Garage, or SeaweedFS (starting in 2023 with source released in 2024), early testing shows it's fast and straightforward to set up.
