Description : JuiceFS is a high-performance POSIX file system released under Apache License 2.0, particularly designed for the cloud-native environment. The data, stored via JuiceFS, will be persisted in object storage (e.g. Amazon S3), and the corresponding metadata can be persisted in various database engines such as Redis, MySQL, and TiKV based on the scenarios and requirements.
- JuiceFS is a popular open-source software on Github, with over 7800 stars. Its value lies in its ability to combine object storage and databases into a massive file system that can be accessed through interfaces such as FUSE, S3 API, HDFS API, WebDAV, etc. It has a good caching mechanism that can solve the network latency problem of object storage.
- JuiceFS does not rely on any third-party software packages. When mounted through the POSIX API, it will depend on FUSE that is already pre-installed in the system.
- Similar software to JuiceFS includes S3FS, Alluxio, CephFS, and S3QL. Each has its own strengths in terms of functionality and features. There is a detailed comparison available in its documentation at https://github.com/juicedata/juicefs
- I am willing to maintain this software package, but this is my first time participating in Debian's package maintenance and I have applied to join the Go packaging team.
- Meanwhile, I hope to find a sponsor.
