S3server is a lightweight alternative to Amazon S3. It allows users to host their own object storage service on their own machines. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of installing s3server on EndeavourOS.
To install s3server we need to first install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following commands to install the necessary dependencies.
sudo pacman -S git go
Go to the s3server Github page (https://github.com/jessfraz/s3server) and click on the "Clone or Download" button. From there, copy the clone URL.
Now, go back to the terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to install s3server. Once you have navigated to the directory, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jessfraz/s3server.git
Change directory to the s3server folder using the following command:
cd s3server
Now to build and install s3server run the following command:
make install
To start s3server, run the following command:
s3server --port 8080 --bucketdir mybucket
This will start the server on port 8080 and create a directory called "mybucket" to store data. You can change the port and the bucket directory as per your requirement.
To test if s3server is working properly, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080. You should see an XML output with the error message "NoSuchBucket" because we have not created any bucket yet.
To create a new bucket, open a new terminal window and run the following command:
s3cmd mb s3://test-bucket
This command will create a new bucket called "test-bucket".
Now, go back to your web browser and refresh the page. You should see the new "test-bucket" in the XML output.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured s3server on EndeavourOS. You can now use S3 compatible clients like s3cmd to interact with the s3server instance you have set up.
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!
