on how to operate Garage in such a setup.
### `db_engine` (since `v0.8.0`)
### Top-level configuration options
By default, Garage uses the Sled embedded database library
to store its metadata on-disk. Since `v0.8.0`, Garage can use alternative storage backends as follows:
| DB engine | `db_engine` value | Database path |
| --------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| [Sled](https://sled.rs) | `"sled"` | `<metadata_dir>/db/` |
| [LMDB](https://www.lmdb.tech) | `"lmdb"` | `<metadata_dir>/db.lmdb/` |
| [Sqlite](https://sqlite.org) | `"sqlite"` | `<metadata_dir>/db.sqlite` |
Performance characteristics of the different DB engines are as follows:
- Sled: the default database engine, which tends to produce
large data files and also has performance issues, especially when the metadata folder
is on a traditional HDD and not on SSD.
- LMDB: the recommended alternative on 64-bit systems,
much more space-efficiant and slightly faster. Note that the data format of LMDB is not portable
between architectures, so for instance the Garage database of an x86-64
node cannot be moved to an ARM64 node. Also note that, while LMDB can technically be used on 32-bit systems,
this will limit your node to very small database sizes due to how LMDB works; it is therefore not recommended.
- Sqlite: Garage supports Sqlite as a storage backend for metadata,
however it may have issues and is also very slow in its current implementation,
so it is not recommended to be used for now.
It is possible to convert Garage's metadata directory from one format to another with a small utility named `convert_db`,
which can be downloaded at the following locations:
[for amd64](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/_releases/convert_db/amd64/convert_db),
[for i386](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/_releases/convert_db/i386/convert_db),
[for arm64](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/_releases/convert_db/arm64/convert_db),
[for arm](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/_releases/convert_db/arm/convert_db).
The `convert_db` utility is used as folows:
```
convert-db -a <input db engine> -i <input db path> \
-b <output db engine> -o <output db path>
```
Make sure to specify the full database path as presented in the table above,
and not just the path to the metadata directory.
### `metadata_fsync`
Whether to enable synchronous mode for the database engine or not.
This is disabled (`false`) by default.
This reduces the risk of metadata corruption in case of power failures,
at the cost of a significant drop in write performance,
as Garage will have to pause to sync data to disk much more often
(several times for API calls such as PutObject).
Using this option reduces the risk of simultaneous metadata corruption on several
cluster nodes, which could lead to data loss.
If multi-site replication is used, this option is most likely not necessary, as
it is extremely unlikely that two nodes in different locations will have a
power failure at the exact same time.
(Metadata corruption on a single node is not an issue, the corrupted data file
can always be deleted and reconstructed from the other nodes in the cluster.)
Here is how this option impacts the different database engines:
| Database | `metadata_fsync = false` (default) | `metadata_fsync = true` |
|----------|------------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| Sled | default options | *unsupported* |
| Sqlite | `PRAGMA synchronous = OFF` | `PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL` |
| LMDB | `MDB_NOMETASYNC` + `MDB_NOSYNC` | `MDB_NOMETASYNC` |
Note that the Sqlite database is always ran in `WAL` mode (`PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL`).
### `data_fsync`
Whether to `fsync` data blocks and their containing directory after they are
saved to disk.
This is disabled (`false`) by default.
This might reduce the risk that a data block is lost in rare
situations such as simultaneous node losing power,
at the cost of a moderate drop in write performance.
Similarly to `metatada_fsync`, this is likely not necessary
if geographical replication is used.
### `block_size`
Garage splits stored objects in consecutive chunks of size `block_size`
(except the last one which might be smaller). The default size is 1MiB and
should work in most cases. We recommend increasing it to e.g. 10MiB if
you are using Garage to store large files and have fast network connections
between all nodes (e.g. 1gbps).
If you are interested in tuning this, feel free to do so (and remember to
report your findings to us!). When this value is changed for a running Garage
installation, only files newly uploaded will be affected. Previously uploaded
files will remain available. This however means that chunks from existing files
will not be deduplicated with chunks from newly uploaded files, meaning you
might use more storage space that is optimally possible.
### `sled_cache_capacity`
This parameter can be used to tune the capacity of the cache used by
[sled](https://sled.rs), the database Garage uses internally to store metadata.
Tune this to fit the RAM you wish to make available to your Garage instance.
This value has a conservative default (128MB) so that Garage doesn't use too much
RAM by default, but feel free to increase this for higher performance.
### `sled_flush_every_ms`
This parameters can be used to tune the flushing interval of sled.
Increase this if sled is thrashing your SSD, at the risk of losing more data in case
of a power outage (though this should not matter much as data is replicated on other
nodes). The default value, 2000ms, should be appropriate for most use cases.
### `lmdb_map_size`
This parameters can be used to set the map size used by LMDB,
which is the size of the virtual memory region used for mapping the database file.
The value of this parameter is the maximum size the metadata database can take.
This value is not bound by the physical RAM size of the machine running Garage.
If not specified, it defaults to 1GiB on 32-bit machines and 1TiB on 64-bit machines.

#### `db_engine` (since `v0.8.0`) {#db_engine}
Since `v0.8.0`, Garage can use alternative storage backends as follows:
| DB engine | `db_engine` value | Database path |
| --------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| [LMDB](https://www.lmdb.tech) (default since `v0.9.0`) | `"lmdb"` | `<metadata_dir>/db.lmdb/` |
| [Sled](https://sled.rs) (default up to `v0.8.0`) | `"sled"` | `<metadata_dir>/db/` |
| [Sqlite](https://sqlite.org) | `"sqlite"` | `<metadata_dir>/db.sqlite` |
Sled was the only database engine up to Garage v0.7.0. Performance issues and
API limitations of Sled prompted the addition of alternative engines in v0.8.0.
Since v0.9.0, LMDB is the default engine instead of Sled, and Sled is
deprecated. We plan to remove Sled in Garage v1.0.
Performance characteristics of the different DB engines are as follows:
- Sled: tends to produce large data files and also has performance issues,
especially when the metadata folder is on a traditional HDD and not on SSD.
- LMDB: the recommended database engine on 64-bit systems, much more
space-efficient and slightly faster. Note that the data format of LMDB is not
portable between architectures, so for instance the Garage database of an
x86-64 node cannot be moved to an ARM64 node. Also note that, while LMDB can
technically be used on 32-bit systems, this will limit your node to very
small database sizes due to how LMDB works; it is therefore not recommended.
- Sqlite: Garage supports Sqlite as an alternative storage backend for
metadata, and although it has not been tested as much, it is expected to work
satisfactorily. Since Garage v0.9.0, performance issues have largely been
fixed by allowing for a no-fsync mode (see `metadata_fsync`). Sqlite does not
have the database size limitation of LMDB on 32-bit systems.
It is possible to convert Garage's metadata directory from one format to another
using the `garage convert-db` command, which should be used as follows:
```
garage convert-db -a <input db engine> -i <input db path> \
-b <output db engine> -o <output db path>
