Mounting S3-compatible storage in Ubuntu (similar to s3fs or goofys) ? How about for Windows?

spammy

I am not sure if I am just missing some details but as far as I can see s3fs and goofys are capable of mounting S3 but not S3- compatible (such as the objSpace storage from Delimiter).

Is there anything similar to those two that would allow people to mount S3-comptabile storage on a Ubuntu box (or Debian I guess)? I'd like to mount it directly rather than having to install things like OwnCloud, etc and then add the storage point there.

For Windows I have a slightly different problem, I know expanDrive works on S3-compatible but it is mounting as a network drive and some software have issues dealing with network drives (I know, crappy coding), Stablebit has CloudDrive which would mount the drive as a regular local partition but it only support S3, not S3-compatible, when I chat with their technical support (although they did mention they'd like to incorporate that feature in future). Therefore is there any way we can mount it on Windows as a local drive. Note that I don't want to store the data locally at all, so things like GoodSync or Dupliciti won't work in this case.

Guess such thing doesn't exist heh?

s3cmd is what you need.

Thanks for your reply but how do I specify the URL in s3cmd, from the documentation I don't see it (or may be I am blind):

Delimeter have doc for it.

s3fs works fine with ObjSpace

CloudDrive support ObjSpace directly, in the current or beta release there is a specific ObjSpace option.

Ah, finally found the solution here:

https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/wiki/Google-Cloud-Storage

s3fs gs-bucket-name /mnt/gs-bucket-name -o passwd_file=/etc/gcs-auth.txt -o url=https://storage.googleapis.com -o sigv2 -o nomultipart

Thanks for inspire me to look!

Mmm...I must be missing something, you sure it is not a special "just for Mark" beta?

Don't think there is anything under wiki.delimiter.com, but doesn't matter, @MarkTurner has helped me to find the right answer.

In their changelog:

.299

• Tweaked Amazon S3.
  
• Object Space provider is now experimental.
  

I will follow up with them and see if we can get it put into the mainstream version

goofys works with many S3 compatible systems that are not AWS S3. I haven't tested this particular implementation in question though.

mountainduck, recently released by the folks who made cyberduck. 30 day trial and I've had success with it, expandrive was having too many fits and dizzyspells for my liking.

cloudberry also has windows apps that are fine with s3-compatible providers.

MoutainDuck has the same problem as ExpanDrive, i.e., it is mounted as a network drive not a local drive.

How do you specify a non-S3 endpoint? Is there a configuration variable I need to change?
