gcs-rsync

Lightweight and efficient Rust gcs rsync for Google Cloud Storage.

gcs-rsync is faster than gsutil rsync according to the following benchmarks.

no hard limit to 32K objects or specific conf to compute state.

This crate can be used as a library or CLI. The API managing objects (download, upload, delete, ...) can be used independently.

How to install as crate

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
gcs-rsync = "0.4"

How to install as cli tool

cargo install --example gcs-rsync gcs-rsync

~/.cargo/bin/gcs-rsync

How to run with docker

Mirror local folder to gcs

docker run --rm -it -v ${GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS}:/creds.json:ro -v <YourFolderToUpload>:/source:ro superbeeeeeee/gcs-rsync -r -m /source gs://<YourBucket>/<YourFolderToUpload>/

Mirror gcs to folder

docker run --rm -it -v ${GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS}:/creds.json:ro -v <YourFolderToDownloadTo>:/dest superbeeeeeee/gcs-rsync -r -m gs://<YourBucket>/<YourFolderToUpload>/ /dest

Mirror partial gcs with prefix to folder

docker run --rm -it -v ${GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS}:/creds.json:ro -v <YourFolderToDownloadTo>:/dest superbeeeeeee/gcs-rsync -r -m gs://<YourBucket>/<YourFolderToUpload>/<YourPrefix> /dest

Include or Exclude files using glob pattern

CLI gcs-rsync

-i (include glob pattern) and -x (exclude glob pattern) multiple times.

An example where any json or toml are included recursively except any test.json or test.toml recursively

docker run --rm -it -v ${GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS}:/creds.json:ro -v <YourFolderToDownloadTo>:/dest superbeeeeeee/gcs-rsync -r -m -i **/*.json -i **/*.toml -x **/test.json -x **/test.toml
 gs://<YourBucket>/YourFolderToUpload>/ /dest

Library

with_includes and with_excludes client builders are used to fill includes and excludes glob patterns.

Benchmark

Important note about gsutil: The gsutil ls command does not list all object items by default but instead list all prefixes while adding the -r flag slowdown gsutil performance. The ls performance command is very different to the rsync implementation.

new files only (first time sync)

• gcs-rsync: 2.2s/7MB
• gsutil: 9.93s/47MB

winner: gcs-rsync

no change (second time sync)

• gsutil: 2.18s/47MB

winner: gcs-rsync (due to size and mtime check before crc32c like gsutil does)

About authentication

All default functions related to authentication use GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS env var as default conf like official Google libraries do on other languages (golang, dotnet)

Other functions (from and from_file) provide the custom integration mode.

For more info about OAuth2, see the related README in the oauth2 mod.
