minio_s3fs_instructions.md

1. Install s3fs

sudo apt update
sudo apt install s3fs

2. Store your credentials on /etc/passwd-s3fs file

echo "ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_KEY" | sudo tee /etc/passwd-s3fs

3. Set permissions

sudo chmod 600 /etc/passwd-s3fs

4. Create an empty directory as a mount point for your s3 bucket

sudo mkdir /mnt/<<dir-name>>

5. Make sure user_allow_other is uncommented in /etc/fuse.conf

Manual Mount

6a) Manually mount the bucket from your minio object storage

s3fs <<bucket-name>> /mnt/<<dir-name>> -o passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs,use_path_request_style,allow_other,umask=000,url=http://<<s3.exampleminio.com>>

You can check it by

mout | grep s3fs

If everything OK you should see:
s3fs on /mnt/<<dir-name>> type fuse.s3fs (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other)

Auto Mount at startup

6b) Edit fstab

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Add this line WITH YOUR DATA

s3fs#<<bucket>> /mnt/<<dir-name>> fuse _netdev,allow_other,umask=000,use_path_request_style,passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs,url=http://<<s3.exampleminio.com>> 0 0

7. Reboot or init 6

Thats it
