Obstor
Obstor is an Apache 2.0-licensed, S3-compatible object storage server with built-in SFTP support. It works with S3 SDKs, command-line tools, and applications without code changes. In distributed deployments, objects are sharded and replicated across connected nodes, with each object kept in at least two global locations. Its native SFTP server stores uploaded files as S3 objects. Data features include SSE-C and SSE-S3 server-side encryption with KMS integration, configurable erasure coding for drive and node failures, and object versioning with lifecycle policies. IAM controls use users, groups, policies, and service accounts with S3 and AWS IAM policy syntax. Event notifications can be sent to Kafka, NATS, AMQP, Redis, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and webhooks. Installation options include a single binary, Docker, a Kubernetes Helm chart, or building from source. Standalone instructions cover macOS, GNU/Linux, and 64-bit Windows. Standalone servers are intended for development and evaluation; versioning, object locking, and bucket replication require distributed deployment with erasure coding.
