## Installation
### Binary Download
Download the appropriate binary for your platform from the [Releases](https://github.com/rustfs/cli/releases) page.
On Linux, use the default `linux-amd64` / `linux-arm64` artifacts for maximum compatibility (`musl` static build).
If you specifically need glibc-linked builds, use `linux-amd64-gnu` / `linux-arm64-gnu`.
### Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
```bash
brew install rustfs/tap/rc
```
### Scoop (Windows)
```powershell
scoop bucket add rustfs https://github.com/rustfs/scoop-bucket
scoop install rustfs/rc
```
### Cargo
```bash
cargo install rustfs-cli
```
### Docker
```bash
# Show help
docker run --rm rustfs/rc:latest --help
# Run a command with a local RustFS instance
docker run --rm --network host rustfs/rc:latest \
alias set local http://localhost:9000 accesskey secretkey
```
### Build from Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/rustfs/cli.git
cd cli
cargo build --release
```
## Quick Start
### Configure Aliases
```bash
# Add local S3 service
rc alias set local http://localhost:9000 accesskey secretkey
# Add AWS S3
rc alias set s3 https://s3.amazonaws.com AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
# List all aliases
rc alias list
```
### Basic Operations
```bash
# List buckets
rc ls local/
# Create bucket
rc mb local/my-bucket
# Upload file
rc cp ./file.txt local/my-bucket/
# Download file
rc cp local/my-bucket/file.txt ./
# View object info
rc stat local/my-bucket/file.txt
# Delete object
rc rm local/my-bucket/file.txt
# Delete bucket
rc rb local/my-bucket
```
### Advanced Operations
```bash
# Recursively copy directory
rc cp -r ./local-dir/ local/bucket/remote-dir/
# Mirror between S3 locations
rc mirror local/bucket1/ local/bucket2/
# Find objects
rc find local/bucket --name "*.txt" --newer 1d
# List anonymous access rules
rc anonymous list local/bucket
# Set anonymous access level
rc anonymous set public local/bucket/public
# Generate download link
rc share download local/bucket/file.txt --expire 24h
# View directory tree
rc tree local/bucket -L 3
```
### Admin Operations (IAM)
```bash
# List users
rc admin user list local/
# Add a new user
rc admin user add local/ newuser secretpassword
# Create a policy
rc admin policy create local/ readonly --file policy.json
# Attach policy to user
rc admin policy attach local/ readonly --user newuser
# Create a service account (access_key + secret_key)
rc admin service-account create local/ AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
# Create a service account with inline policy file
rc admin service-account create local/ SAKEY123 SASECRET123 --policy ./service-account-policy.json
# Manage bucket event notifications
rc event add local/my-bucket arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:topic --event 's3:ObjectCreated:*'
rc event list local/my-bucket
rc event remove local/my-bucket arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:topic
# Manage bucket CORS configuration
rc bucket cors list local/my-bucket
rc bucket cors get local/my-bucket
rc bucket cors set local/my-bucket cors.xml
rc cors remove local/my-bucket
```
### Lifecycle (ILM) Operations
```bash
# Add lifecycle rule: expire objects after 30 days with prefix filter
rc ilm rule add local/my-bucket --expiry-days 30 --prefix "logs/"
# Add lifecycle rule: transition to remote tier after 90 days
rc ilm rule add local/my-bucket --transition-days 90 --storage-class WARM
# List lifecycle rules
rc ilm rule list local/my-bucket
# Edit an existing rule
rc ilm rule edit local/my-bucket --id rule-abc123 --expiry-days 60
# Remove a specific rule or all rules
rc ilm rule remove local/my-bucket --id rule-abc123
rc ilm rule remove local/my-bucket --all
# Export/import lifecycle configuration (JSON)
rc ilm rule export local/my-bucket > lifecycle.json
rc ilm rule import local/my-bucket lifecycle.json
# Manage remote storage tiers
rc ilm tier add rustfs WARM local --endpoint http://remote:9000 --access-key ak --secret-key sk --bucket warm-bucket
rc ilm tier list local
rc ilm tier info WARM local
rc ilm tier remove WARM local --force
# Restore a transitioned (archived) object
rc ilm restore local/my-bucket/archived-file.dat --days 7
```
### Bucket Replication
```bash
# Replication requires versioning on both source and destination buckets
rc version enable local/my-bucket
rc version enable remote/target-bucket
# Configure a remote alias with the destination RustFS endpoint URL.
# rc normalizes the remote target endpoint to the host:port form expected by
# the RustFS admin API when creating replication targets.
rc alias set remote http://remote:9000 ACCESS_KEY SECRET_KEY
# Add a replication rule
rc replicate add local/my-bucket \
--remote-bucket remote/target-bucket \
--priority 1 \
--replicate delete,delete-marker,existing-objects
# List replication rules
rc replicate list local/my-bucket
# View replication status/metrics
rc replicate status local/my-bucket
# Update a replication rule
rc replicate update local/my-bucket --id rule-1 --priority 2
# Remove replication rules
rc replicate remove local/my-bucket --id rule-1
rc replicate remove local/my-bucket --all
# Export/import replication configuration (JSON)
rc replicate export local/my-bucket > replication.json
rc replicate import local/my-bucket replication.json
```
### Admin Operations (Cluster)
```bash
# Cluster information
rc admin info cluster local
rc admin info server local
rc admin info disk local --offline
# Heal operations
rc admin heal status local
rc admin heal start local --bucket mybucket --scan-mode deep
rc admin heal start local --dry-run
rc admin heal stop local
# JSON output
rc admin info cluster local --json
rc admin heal status local --json
