Hi everyone,

We’ve received a lot of honest feedback regarding the current state of our documentation. We want to address this head-on and explain where we are—and where we are going.

🚀 Innovation vs. Documentation First, thank you for pushing us! Many of you requested advanced features, and we’ve been moving fast to deliver them. Implementing features like FTP/SFTP support, enhanced Observability (OBS) integration, and dynamic Helm chart adjustments often requires us to frequently modify startup parameters and core logic. While this allows us to ship the functionality you need quickly, it has unfortunately created a temporary gap between our codebase and the existing guides.

🌍 Who We Are RustFS is built by a diverse, distributed open-source team with members contributing from all over the globe. We are united by code, but sometimes our bandwidth for writing prose lags behind our coding speed.

📝 The Plan Forward (Beta Release) We are committed to fixing this. Starting with the upcoming Beta release, we are launching a comprehensive documentation overhaul. We will be rewriting the guides to match the stable parameters and new workflows, ensuring they reflect the current reality of RustFS.

🤝 Join the Effort Open source thrives on collaboration. If you’ve figured out a workflow or fixed a config issue, your knowledge is valuable! We warmly invite you to contribute to the docs. Even a small PR to fix a README or a "How-to" guide can save hours for another developer in the community.

Thank you for sticking with us as we evolve. Let’s build (and document) something great together!

The RustFS Team
