s3server is an open-source S3 compatible API server that allows you to manage objects in the cloud. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install s3server on Elementary OS Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
s3server is written in Go. Therefore, we need to install Go on our system. Run the following command to install Go:
sudo apt install golang-go
We need Git to clone the s3server repository from GitHub. Run the following command to install Git:
sudo apt install git
Now, we can clone the s3server repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/jessfraz/s3server.git
Once the repository is cloned, use the following command to build s3server:
cd s3server && make static
Now, we can launch s3server. Run the following command to start the server:
sudo ./s3server -dir=/tmp/s3
This command will start the s3server and use /tmp/s3 directory as the storage location.
To verify s3server, use any S3 compatible client, like s3cmd or aws-cli.
Install s3cmd using the following command:
sudo apt install s3cmd
Then, run the following command to configure s3cmd:
s3cmd --configure
Now, run the following command to verify s3server:
s3cmd ls s3://test-bucket
If it shows an empty bucket, then s3server is working successfully.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install s3server on Elementary OS Latest. S3server allows you to manage objects in the cloud easily. You can now use s3server to store and retrieve data in the cloud.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
