alocals3 0.6.0

alocals3: a Rust S3-like server and Rust-backed Python client

简体中文

alocals3

alocals3 is a local S3-like object store focused on fast local development and internal workloads.

The current main branch is Rust-first:

• Server: pure Rust binary, no Python runtime required.
• Metadata backend: SQLite or PostgreSQL.
• Object payloads: local filesystem with SHA-256 based sharding.
• Python client: wheel package backed by Rust networking through reqwest.
• Python target: Python 3.12+ with PyO3 abi3-py312 limited API.

The project implements an S3-compatible subset, not the full AWS S3 API surface.

Quick Start

Build and run the Rust server:

PYO3_NO_PYTHON=1 cargo build --release --no-default-features --features server,server-binary --bin alocals3-server

target/release/alocals3-server \
  --host 127.0.0.1 \
  --port 8000 \
  --database-url "sqlite:///./alocals3.db" \
  --storage-root ./data

Use PostgreSQL instead of SQLite:

target/release/alocals3-server \
  --host 127.0.0.1 \
  --port 8000 \
  --database-url "postgresql://user:password@127.0.0.1:5432/alocals3" \
  --storage-root ./data

Install the Python client from source:

python3.12 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -U pip maturin
python -m pip install -e .

Build Artifacts

Release helper scripts live in scripts:

# Linux static server plus Python 3.12+ ABI3 wheel
scripts/build-linux-release.sh

# macOS arm64, macOS 11 deployment baseline
scripts/build-macos-release.sh

# Windows 10+ PowerShell
.\scripts\build-windows-release.ps1

Linux server builds default to x86_64-unknown-linux-musl; Linux wheels default to manylinux_2_28. macOS builds default to aarch64-apple-darwin with MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=11.0.

The wheel is configured as Python 3.12+ ABI3 via PyO3 abi3-py312. It is not a cp312-cp312 wheel unless the ABI3 feature is removed.

Platform wheels include the Rust server executable and install an alocals3-server command. Standalone server artifacts are also named alocals3-server on Unix-like platforms and alocals3-server.exe on Windows.

Configuration

Server CLI flags:

• --host: bind host, default 127.0.0.1
• --port: bind port, default 8000
• --database-url: SQLite or PostgreSQL URL
• --storage-root: object payload root directory
• --log-level: log level or tracing_subscriber filter directive, default info
• --version: print server version and author information

Environment variables:

• ALOCALS3_DATABASE_URL: default sqlite:///./alocals3.db
• ALOCALS3_STORAGE_ROOT: default ./data
• ALOCALS3_LOG_LEVEL: default info

Database URL examples:

• SQLite: sqlite:///./alocals3.db
• PostgreSQL: postgresql://user:password@127.0.0.1:5432/alocals3

Use an absolute SQLite path in scripts and services to avoid accidentally writing to different database files from different working directories. PostgreSQL is recommended for sustained concurrent workloads.

Logging is written to stderr. Common levels are debug, info, warn, and error; full EnvFilter directives such as warn,alocals3_server=debug are also accepted.

Storage Layout

• Bucket and object metadata is stored in SQLite or PostgreSQL.
• Object bytes are stored on local disk.
• Blob paths are content-addressed and sharded:
  • sha256(<object bytes>) = <digest>
  • {storage_root}/objects/{digest[:2]}/{digest[2:4]}/{digest}

Object keys, bucket names, prefixes, delimiters, and continuation tokens are UTF-8 text. Client path parameters are UTF-8 percent-encoded automatically; pass raw strings such as logs/data.txt or logs/数据.txt, not pre-encoded URL fragments.

HTTP API

• GET /healthz: health check
• GET /s3: list buckets
• PUT /s3/{bucket}: create bucket
• DELETE /s3/{bucket}: delete empty bucket
• GET /s3/{bucket}/objects: list objects
• GET /s3/{bucket}?list-type=2: S3-style ListObjectsV2
• PUT /s3/{bucket}/{key}: upload object
• GET /s3/{bucket}/{key}: download object
• HEAD /s3/{bucket}/{key}: object metadata
• DELETE /s3/{bucket}/{key}: delete object

Supported object features:

• ETag is the MD5 hex digest of the object body.
• Range requests return 206 or 416.
• If-None-Match and If-Match are supported for PUT.
• Content-MD5 is validated on PUT.
• If-None-Match is supported for GET and HEAD.

PUT /s3/{bucket}/{key} returns:

• 201: new object created
• 200: existing object overwritten
• 400: invalid Content-MD5
• 412: conditional request failed

Client Usage

The Python runtime dependency list is intentionally empty. HTTP networking is implemented in Rust, not httpx.

import asyncio
from pathlib import Path

from alocals3.client import LocalS3Client, LocalS3ClientAsync

with LocalS3Client("http://127.0.0.1:8000", disable_proxy=True) as client:
    client.create_bucket("demo")
    info = client.put_object("demo", "logs/数据.txt", Path("data.txt"))
    print(info["etag"])

    data, headers = client.get_object_range("demo", "logs/数据.txt", "bytes=0-99")
    print(len(data), headers.get("content-range"))

    client.get_object_to_file("demo", "logs/数据.txt", Path("copy.txt"))


async def main() -> None:
    async with LocalS3ClientAsync("http://127.0.0.1:8000", disable_proxy=True) as client:
        print(await client.list_buckets())


asyncio.run(main())

CLI:

python -m alocals3.client --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8000 CREATE_BUCKET demo
python -m alocals3.client --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8000 PUT demo file.bin ./file.bin
python -m alocals3.client --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8000 GET demo file.bin ./copy.bin
python -m alocals3.client --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8000 LIST_OBJECTS_V2 demo --prefix logs/ --delimiter /

Set disable_proxy=True or pass --disable-proxy to ignore proxy environment variables such as HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY, and NO_PROXY.

Curl Examples

curl -i -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:8000/s3/demo
curl -i -X PUT --data-binary @file.bin http://127.0.0.1:8000/s3/demo/file.bin
curl -i http://127.0.0.1:8000/s3/demo/file.bin
curl -i -H "Range: bytes=0-99" http://127.0.0.1:8000/s3/demo/file.bin
curl -sS "http://127.0.0.1:8000/s3/demo?list-type=2&prefix=logs/&delimiter=/&max-keys=100"

Conditional PUT:

curl -i -X PUT -H "If-None-Match: *" --data-binary @file.bin \
  http://127.0.0.1:8000/s3/demo/file.bin

curl -i -X PUT -H 'If-Match: "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e"' --data-binary @file.bin \
  http://127.0.0.1:8000/s3/demo/file.bin

MD5_B64=$(openssl md5 -binary file.bin | openssl base64)
curl -i -X PUT -H "Content-MD5: ${MD5_B64}" --data-binary @file.bin \
  http://127.0.0.1:8000/s3/demo/file.bin

Consistency Notes

• Object bytes are written through a temporary file and atomic rename.
• Metadata updates are committed through the selected database backend.
• This is not a single distributed transaction across database and filesystem.
• Under process or machine failure, orphan blob files may exist. The Python package no longer ships an alternate storage backend or Python server path; operational cleanup should be handled outside the request path.
