+title: Creating a catalog on Apache Ozone
+linkTitle: Ozone
+type: docs
+weight: 150
+---
+
+When creating a catalog based on [Apache Ozone](https://ozone.apache.org/) storage it is important to 
+configure the `endpoint` property to point to your own storage cluster. If the `endpoint` property is
+not set, Polaris will attempt to contact AWS storage services (which is certain to fail in this case).
+
+Note: the `--no-sts` CLI option instructs Polaris to avoid calling STS endpoints with `AssumeRoles`
+requests. This means that both Polaris and its clients (engines) will have to use distinct (local)
+credentials for accessing storage. Engines should _not_ request credential vending in this case
+(should not use the `X-Iceberg-Access-Delegation=vended-credentials` header).
+
+Note: the region setting is not required by Ozone, but it is set in this example for the sake of
+simplicity as it is usually required by the AWS SDK (used internally by Polaris). One can also 
+set the `AWS_REGION` environment variable in the Polaris server process and avoid setting region
+as a catalog property.
+
+Note: the name `quickstart_catalog` from the example below is referenced in other Getting Started 
+examples, but of course, it can be any valid catalog name.
+
+```shell
+CLIENT_ID=root
+CLIENT_SECRET=s3cr3t
+DEFAULT_BASE_LOCATION=s3://example-bucket/my_data
+
+./polaris \
+  --client-id ${CLIENT_ID} \
+  --client-secret ${CLIENT_SECRET} \
+  catalogs \
+  create \
+  --storage-type s3 \
+  --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:9878
+  --no-sts
+  --path-style-access
+  --default-base-location ${DEFAULT_BASE_LOCATION} \
+  --region irrelevant \
+  quickstart_catalog
+```
+
+In more complex deployments it may be necessary to configure different endpoints for S3 requests
+and for STS (AssumeRole) requests. This can be achieved via the `--sts-endpoint` CLI option.
+
+Additionally, the `--endpoint-internal` CLI option cane be used to set the S3 endpoint for use by
+the Polaris Server itself, if it needs to be different from the endpoint used by clients / engines.
+
+A usable Apache Ozone example for `docker-compose` is available in the Polaris source code under the
+[getting-started/ozone](https://github.com/apache/polaris/tree/main/getting-started/ozone) module.
