The SeaweedFS VFS is a thin wrapper over the S3 VFS. It maps a SeaweedFSConfig to an S3Config and reuses the exact same backend, commands, and behavior as S3, it just points at your SeaweedFS S3 gateway endpoint_url and uses path-style addressing by default. SeaweedFS exposes an S3-compatible gateway (default port 8333), so endpoint_url is required (there is no region-derived host). Uses aioboto3 against the SeaweedFS S3 API. Install the extra:

Config

Both READ and WRITE modes are supported. Fields marked secret are redacted in snapshots. For write: conditional on this provider, see S3-compatible stores.

VFS.md

The VFS.md an agent reads with SeaweedFS mounted at /<path>.

Virtual Filesystem

Supported Unix Commands for VFS

Unix commands work on each path as on a local filesystem, as far as the path supports them:

Limitations of Unix Commands for VFS

Where a path differs from a local filesystem:Run man <cmd> or <cmd> --help for one command’s usage.

Example

Notes

  • SeaweedFS registers under its own VFSName and routes through the same core/s3 implementation, so the full S3 shell-command set applies (ls, cat, head, tail, grep, rg, wc, find, tree, jq, stat). See the S3 VFS for the complete command reference, range reads, streaming, and the index cache fast path.
  • Blaxel Agent Drive is backed by SeaweedFS. To mount a drive’s S3 gateway, point endpoint_url at the drive’s s3Url and supply credentials for it.
