s3fs allows Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE(Filesystem in Userspace).
s3fs makes you operate files and directories in S3 bucket like a local file system.
s3fs preserves the native object format for files, allowing use of other tools like AWS CLI.
Many systems provide pre-built packages:
Amazon Linux via EPEL:
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel
sudo yum install s3fs-fuse
Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S s3fs-fuse
Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 or newer:
sudo apt install s3fs
Fedora 27 or newer:
sudo dnf install s3fs-fuse
Gentoo:
sudo emerge net-fs/s3fs
RHEL and CentOS 7 or newer via EPEL:
sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install s3fs-fuse
SUSE 12 and openSUSE 42.1 or newer:
sudo zypper install s3fs
macOS 10.12 and newer via Homebrew:
brew install --cask macfuse
brew install gromgit/fuse/s3fs-mac
FreeBSD:
pkg install fusefs-s3fs
Windows:
Windows has its own install, seening in this link
Otherwise consult the compilation instructions.
s3fs supports the standard AWS credentials file stored in ${HOME}/.aws/credentials
. Alternatively, s3fs supports a custom passwd file.
The default location for the s3fs password file can be created:
.passwd-s3fs
file in the users home directory (i.e. ${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
)/etc/passwd-s3fs
fileEnter your credentials in a file ${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
and set owner-only permissions:
echo ACCESS_KEY_ID:SECRET_ACCESS_KEY > ${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
chmod 600 ${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
Run s3fs with an existing bucket mybucket
and directory /path/to/mountpoint
:
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs
If you encounter any errors, enable debug output:
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs -o dbglevel=info -f -o curldbg
You can also mount on boot by entering the following line to /etc/fstab
:
mybucket /path/to/mountpoint fuse.s3fs _netdev,allow_other 0 0
If you use s3fs with a non-Amazon S3 implementation, specify the URL and path-style requests:
s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs -o url=https://url.to.s3/ -o use_path_request_style
or(fstab)
mybucket /path/to/mountpoint fuse.s3fs _netdev,allow_other,use_path_request_style,url=https://url.to.s3/ 0 0
Note: You may also want to create the global credential file first
echo ACCESS_KEY_ID:SECRET_ACCESS_KEY > /etc/passwd-s3fs
chmod 600 /etc/passwd-s3fs
Note2: You may also need to make sure netfs
service is start on boot
Generally S3 cannot offer the same performance or semantics as a local file system. More specifically:
