* Ports: 8888/tcp, 9000/tcp
* Prometheus: `http://<hostname>:9091/metrics`
* Filer UI: `http://<hostname>:8888`

To directly access in Kubernetes (for e.g. debugging), forward the svc port to your local machine:

```shell
kubectl [-n namespace] port-forward svc/storage-service-s3 9000:8333
```

Overview

We use SeaweedFS as a high-performance, S3 compatible object store for easy, cloud-ready deployments that by default support replication and monitoring. No graphical user interface is provided out-of-the-box, administrators can access the S3 storage via S3-compatible clients e.g. AWS CLI (see below).

Users

The default configuration creates one user seaweedfsadmin with password seaweedfsadmin.

Buckets

The default configuration creates two buckets dbrepo-upload, dbrepo-download:

• dbrepo-upload for CSV-file upload (for import of data, analysis, etc.) from the User Interface
• dbrepo-download for CSV-file download (exporting data, metadata, etc.)

Limitations

• No support for multiple regions.

!!! question "Do you miss functionality? Do these limitations affect you?"

We strongly encourage you to help us implement it as we are welcoming contributors to open-source software and get
in [contact](../../contact) with us, we happily answer requests for collaboration with attached CV and your programming 
experience!

Security

1. For public deployments, change the default credentials.
