✨ swift-container-server — the OpenStack Swift container server 💅

okay bestie, welcome to swift-container-server(1) from the OpenStack Swift family — she's giving main character energy and she's literally the keeper of the listings. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

swift-container-server [CONFIG] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so, what does the Container Server actually do? her primary job is handling listings of objects. that's the whole vibe. 👑

here's the tea though: she does not know where those objects are. nope, not her problem, not her business. she just knows what objects are in a specific container. that's it, that's the gig. ✨

those listings? stored as sqlite database files, and replicated across the cluster — similar to how objects are replicated. same energy, different data. 🦋

and she's also tracking statistics, which include:

• the total number of objects
• the total storage usage for that container

so yeah, she's basically the group chat admin who knows who's in the chat and how much everyone's been posting. no cap. 💖
