# s3fs

s3fs allows Linux and macOS to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE.
s3fs preserves the native object format for files, allowing use of other
tools like [AWS CLI](https://github.com/aws/aws-cli).

## Features

* large subset of POSIX including reading/writing files, directories, symlinks, mode, uid/gid, and extended attributes
* compatible with Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and other S3-based object stores
* allows random writes and appends
* large files via multi-part upload
* renames via server-side copy
* optional server-side encryption
* data integrity via MD5 hashes
* in-memory metadata caching
* local disk data caching
* user-specified regions, including Amazon GovCloud
* authenticate via v2 or v4 signatures

## Installation

Many systems provide pre-built packages:

* Amazon Linux via EPEL:

  ```
  sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel
  sudo yum install 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 through 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 via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):

  ```
  brew cask install osxfuse
  brew install s3fs
  ```

Otherwise consult the [compilation instructions](COMPILATION.md).

## Examples

s3fs supports the standard
[AWS credentials file](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-config-files.html)
stored in `${HOME}/.aws/credentials`.  Alternatively, s3fs supports a custom passwd file.

The default location for the s3fs password file can be created:

* using a .passwd-s3fs file in the users home directory (i.e. ${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs)
* using the system-wide /etc/passwd-s3fs file

Enter 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`:

```
s3fs#mybucket /path/to/mountpoint fuse _netdev,allow_other 0 0
```

or

```
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)

```
s3fs#mybucket /path/to/mountpoint fuse _netdev,allow_other,use_path_request_style,url=https://url.to.s3/ 0 0
```

To use IBM IAM Authentication, use the `-o ibm_iam_auth` option, and specify the Service Instance ID and API Key in your credentials file:

```
echo SERVICEINSTANCEID:APIKEY > /path/to/passwd
```

The Service Instance ID is only required when using the `-o create_bucket` option.

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

## Limitations

Generally S3 cannot offer the same performance or semantics as a local file system.  More specifically:

* random writes or appends to files require rewriting the entire file
* metadata operations such as listing directories have poor performance due to network latency
* [eventual consistency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventual_consistency) can temporarily yield stale data([Amazon S3 Data Consistency Model](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/Introduction.html#ConsistencyModel))
* no atomic renames of files or directories
* no coordination between multiple clients mounting the same bucket
* no hard links
* inotify detects only local modifications, not external ones by other clients or tools

* [s3ql](https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql/) - similar to s3fs but uses its own object format
* [YAS3FS](https://github.com/danilop/yas3fs) - similar to s3fs but uses SNS to allow multiple clients to mount a bucket
