In this tutorial, we will be installing s3server on Linux Mint Latest. s3server is a simple server implementation of Amazon S3 that can be used to easily test S3 interactions with other applications. We will be installing s3server from the Github source code.
Before we start, let’s make sure that we have everything we need to proceed with the tutorial:
git package installed on your systemYou can install git by opening up the Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git
Now that we have everything we need let's proceed with the installation steps:
Clone the s3server repository from Github:
git clone https://github.com/jessfraz/s3server.git
Change directory to the s3server directory:
cd s3server
Build the s3server image:
docker build -t s3server .
Run the s3server container:
docker run -it -p 9000:9000 s3server
The -p 9000:9000 option tells docker to map port 9000 in the container to port 9000 on the host system. This will allow us to access the s3server from our web browser.
Once the s3server container is running, we can access it using http://localhost:9000. You should see a page with a sign-in prompt.
This page indicates that s3server is running successfully.
We’ve successfully installed s3server on Linux Mint Latest. Feel free to use it to test your S3 interactions with other applications.
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!
