Get started

leBLOB is one Python program. It needs no database server and no other service: the metadata lives in SQLite and the objects in files, both under one data directory.

  1. Install it, from source or as a container image.
  2. Follow the Quick start to run the server, create a bucket and store an object with boto3, the AWS CLI or rclone.

Then the guides cover the clients in more detail, access keys, moving from MinIO or Garage, and running a server for real.

Development status

leBLOB runs on one server, with one or several disks. Clusters are planned for a later phase. The data format is upgraded when a newer version starts, so back up before upgrading.
