+===============================
+ radosgw -- rados REST gateway
+===============================
+
+.. program:: radosgw
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **radosgw**
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+:program:`radosgw` is an HTTP REST gateway for the RADOS object store, a part
+of the Ceph distributed storage system. It is implemented as a FastCGI
+module using libfcgi, and can be used in conjunction with any FastCGI
+capable web server.
+
+
+Options
+=======
+
+.. option:: -c ceph.conf, --conf=ceph.conf
+
+ Use ``ceph.conf`` configuration file instead of the default
+ ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf`` to determine monitor addresses during startup.
+
+.. option:: -m monaddress[:port]
+
+ Connect to specified monitor (instead of looking through ``ceph.conf``).
+
+.. option:: -i ID, --id ID
+
+ Set the ID portion of name for radosgw
+
+.. option:: -n TYPE.ID, --name TYPE.ID
+
+ Set the rados user name for the gateway (eg. client.radosgw.gateway)
+
+.. option:: --cluster NAME
+
+ Set the cluster name (default: ceph)
+
+.. option:: -d
+
+ Run in foreground, log to stderr
+
+.. option:: -f
+
+ Run in foreground, log to usual location
+
+.. option:: --rgw-socket-path=path
+
+ Specify a unix domain socket path.
+
+.. option:: --rgw-region=region
+
+ The region where radosgw runs
+
+.. option:: --rgw-zone=zone
+
+ The zone where radosgw runs
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Earlier RADOS Gateway had to be configured with ``Apache`` and ``mod_fastcgi``.
+Now, ``mod_proxy_fcgi`` module is used instead of ``mod_fastcgi``.
+``mod_proxy_fcgi`` works differently than a traditional FastCGI module. This
+module requires the service of ``mod_proxy`` which provides support for the
+FastCGI protocol. So, to be able to handle FastCGI protocol, both ``mod_proxy``
+and ``mod_proxy_fcgi`` have to be present in the server. Unlike ``mod_fastcgi``,
+``mod_proxy_fcgi`` cannot start the application process. Some platforms have
+``fcgistarter`` for that purpose. However, external launching of application
+or process management may be available in the FastCGI application framework
+in use.
+
+``Apache`` can be configured in a way that enables ``mod_proxy_fcgi`` to be used
+with localhost tcp or through unix domain socket. ``mod_proxy_fcgi`` that doesn't
+support unix domain socket such as the ones in Apache 2.2 and earlier versions of
+Apache 2.4, needs to be configured for use with localhost tcp. Later versions of
+Apache like Apache 2.4.9 or later support unix domain socket and as such they
+allow for the configuration with unix domain socket instead of localhost tcp.
+
+The following steps show the configuration in Ceph's configuration file i.e,
+``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf`` and the gateway configuration file i.e,
+``/etc/httpd/conf.d/rgw.conf`` (RPM-based distros) or
+``/etc/apache2/conf-available/rgw.conf`` (Debian-based distros) with localhost
+tcp and through unix domain socket:
+
+#. For distros with Apache 2.2 and early versions of Apache 2.4 that use
+ localhost TCP and do not support Unix Domain Socket, append the following
+ contents to ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf``::
+
+ [client.radosgw.gateway]
+ host = {hostname}
+ keyring = /etc/ceph/ceph.client.radosgw.keyring
+ rgw socket path = ""
+ log file = /var/log/ceph/client.radosgw.gateway.log
+ rgw frontends = fastcgi socket_port=9000 socket_host=0.0.0.0
+ rgw print continue = false
+
+#. Add the following content in the gateway configuration file:
+
+ For Debian/Ubuntu add in ``/etc/apache2/conf-available/rgw.conf``::
+
+ <VirtualHost *:80>
+ ServerName localhost
+ DocumentRoot /var/www/html
+
+ ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/rgw_error.log
+ CustomLog /var/log/apache2/rgw_access.log combined
+
+ # LogLevel debug
+
+ RewriteEngine On
+
+ RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
+
+ SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
+
+ ProxyPass / fcgi://localhost:9000/
+
+ </VirtualHost>
+
+ For CentOS/RHEL add in ``/etc/httpd/conf.d/rgw.conf``::
+
+ <VirtualHost *:80>
+ ServerName localhost
+ DocumentRoot /var/www/html
+
+ ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/rgw_error.log
+ CustomLog /var/log/httpd/rgw_access.log combined
+
+ # LogLevel debug
+
+ RewriteEngine On
+
+ RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
+
+ SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
+
+ ProxyPass / fcgi://localhost:9000/
+
+ </VirtualHost>
+
+#. For distros with Apache 2.4.9 or later that support Unix Domain Socket,
+ append the following configuration to ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf``::
+
+ [client.radosgw.gateway]
+ host = {hostname}
+ keyring = /etc/ceph/ceph.client.radosgw.keyring
+ rgw socket path = /var/run/ceph/ceph.radosgw.gateway.fastcgi.sock
+ log file = /var/log/ceph/client.radosgw.gateway.log
+ rgw print continue = false
+
+#. Add the following content in the gateway configuration file:
+
+ For CentOS/RHEL add in ``/etc/httpd/conf.d/rgw.conf``::
+
+ <VirtualHost *:80>
+ ServerName localhost
+ DocumentRoot /var/www/html
+
+ ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/rgw_error.log
+ CustomLog /var/log/httpd/rgw_access.log combined
+
+ # LogLevel debug
+
+ RewriteEngine On
+
+ RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
+
+ SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
+
+ ProxyPass / unix:///var/run/ceph/ceph.radosgw.gateway.fastcgi.sock|fcgi://localhost:9000/
+
+ </VirtualHost>
+
+ Please note, ``Apache 2.4.7`` does not have Unix Domain Socket support in
+ it and as such it has to be configured with localhost tcp. The Unix Domain
+ Socket support is available in ``Apache 2.4.9`` and later versions.
+
+#. Generate a key for radosgw to use for authentication with the cluster. ::
+
+ ceph-authtool -C -n client.radosgw.gateway --gen-key /etc/ceph/keyring.radosgw.gateway
+ ceph-authtool -n client.radosgw.gateway --cap mon 'allow rw' --cap osd 'allow rwx' /etc/ceph/keyring.radosgw.gateway
+
+#. Add the key to the auth entries. ::
+
+ ceph auth add client.radosgw.gateway --in-file=keyring.radosgw.gateway
+
+#. Start Apache and radosgw.
+
+ Debian/Ubuntu::
+
+ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
+ sudo /etc/init.d/radosgw start
+
+ CentOS/RHEL::
+
+ sudo apachectl start
+ sudo /etc/init.d/ceph-radosgw start
+
+Usage Logging
+=============
+
+:program:`radosgw` maintains an asynchronous usage log. It accumulates
+statistics about user operations and flushes it periodically. The
+logs can be accessed and managed through :program:`radosgw-admin`.
+
+The information that is being logged contains total data transfer,
+total operations, and total successful operations. The data is being
+accounted in an hourly resolution under the bucket owner, unless the
+operation was done on the service (e.g., when listing a bucket) in
+which case it is accounted under the operating user.
+
+Following is an example configuration::
+
+ [client.radosgw.gateway]
+ rgw enable usage log = true
+ rgw usage log tick interval = 30
+ rgw usage log flush threshold = 1024
+ rgw usage max shards = 32
+ rgw usage max user shards = 1
+
+
+The total number of shards determines how many total objects hold the
+usage log information. The per-user number of shards specify how many
+objects hold usage information for a single user. The tick interval
+configures the number of seconds between log flushes, and the flush
+threshold specify how many entries can be kept before resorting to
+synchronous flush.
+
+
+Availability
+============
+
+:program:`radosgw` is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed
+storage system. Please refer to the Ceph documentation at http://ceph.com/docs for
+more information.
