s3fs-fuse

s3fs allows Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE.
s3fs preserves the native object format for files, allowing the use of other tools such as AWS CLI.

Create S3 Credentials

You first need to enable the credentials for the S3 protocol.

Run the following command to create a pair of access and secret keys after your sourced your OpenStack credentials.

Store your S3 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

Create a bucket in the infomaniak S3 storage

We create it using the OpenStack Swift client :

swift post bucket1

Create a mount point

mkdir ~/bucket1

Mount the bucket locally

Teh bucket bucket1 will be mounted in the directory ~/bucket1

s3fs bucket1 ~/bucket1 -o passwd_file=~/.passwd-s3fs  -o url=https://s3.pub1.infomaniak.cloud  -o use_path_request_style  -o umask=0002

And voilĂ .
