Amazon S3 Mount

This will allow you to mount S3 (both Amazon and third parties) buckets as local storage in Linux.

1. install s3fs
   • apt install s3fs
2. Create a credentials file
   1. in your home directory, create a file called .password-s3fs and place the access and secret keys inside:
      • echo ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY > ~/.passwd-s3fs
   2. make sure this file is secured with no one else having access
      • chmod 600 ~/.passwd-s3fs
3. Create a mount point
   • mkdir ~/s3Bucket
4. Mount it (the -o url= option is only if you aren't using Amazon as your provider):
   • s3fs [bucketNameNoBrackets] ~/s3Bucket -o passwd_file=~/.passwd-s3fs -o url=https://s3.wasabisys.com
   • s3fs [bucketNameNoBrackets] ~/s3Bucket -o url=https://s3.wasabisys.com
