BlixtFS documentation
BlixtFS mounts any object store as a fast, native filesystem. These pages explain how it works, how to install and run it, and what it runs on.
BlixtFS serves the buckets you already have (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Cloudflare R2 and more) over standard file protocols: NFS, SMB, etc. Applications see ordinary files and directories. Your data stays in your bucket as ordinary objects, in your own cloud account.
