S3FS

Mount a s3 bucket as a file system in docker.

Running from the commandline

To run the container from the docker, issue the following command

docker run --rm -it --privileged -e ACCESS_KEY_ID={<your_space_access_key>} -e SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={<your_spaces_secret_access_key>} -e BUCKET={<spaces_bucket_name>} -e REGION=ams3 -e ENDPOINT=https://ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com  mbict/s3fs  

Example for kubernetes

I used this to have some files shared between nodes in kubernetes.

Check the kubernetes directory with the files

Create a new namespace

kubectl create namespace s3

Create a new secret for the access credentials

kubectl create secret generic s3-secrets \
      --namespace=s3 \
      --from-literal=ACCESS_KEY_ID={<YOUR_S3_KEY_ID>} \
      --from-literal=SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={<YOUR_S3_ACCESS_KEY>}  

Change and set the configmap

kubectl apply -f configmap.yml

And finally start the daemonset on all nodes

kubectl apply -f daemonset.yml

For a simple example mounting a directory inside the s3 space spin up the examplepod.yml container.
