import { Aside } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';

<Aside type="tip">Has an internal [Grafana Dashboard](https://grafana.alexlebens.net/goto/cfit8jm3mwk5cd?orgId=1).</Aside>

# Purpose

Clustered S3 storage provider.

# Notes

Considering moving to the [operator](https://github.com/rajsinghtech/garage-operator), but currently deploys as chart.

Backing storage comes from [iSCSI](https://docs.alexlebens.dev/applications/democratic-csi-synology-iscsi/).

Primary endpoint for most S3 targets, alongside PiBox and Digital Ocean.

[Rclone](https://docs.alexlebens.dev/applications/rclone/) handles any kind of syncing to the other endpoints as needed.
