AWS S3 Bucket Service | Stuff I'm Up To

Previously I have used s3fs as this supported mounting in fstab using and access key and secret. This S3 Mountpoint by Amazon can use IAM for a more integrated authentication approach.

Install or update to the latest version of the AWS CLI - AWS Command Line Interface (amazon.com)

Installing S3 Mountpoint - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Pre-requisites:

apt-get install unzip libfuse2

Install awscli

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install
/usr/local/bin/aws --version

Install Mountpoint

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/mountpoint-s3-release/latest/x86_64/mount-s3.deb
dpkg -i mount-s3.deb

Configure s3 service

mkdir /mnt/s3
vim /etc/systemd/system/s3.service
systemctl enable --now s3.service
