How to Install s3server on MXLinux Latest

s3server is a simple standalone implementation of an Amazon S3 compatible server which allows you to store and retrieve data objects using the S3 API over HTTP or HTTPS. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing s3server on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

• A machine running MXLinux Latest.
• A user with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing s3server on your MXLinux Latest system, you need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command to install them:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y curl git make build-essential

Step 2: Download and Build s3server

Now, we need to download and build s3server on our MXLinux Latest system. Clone the s3server repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/jessfraz/s3server.git

Change to the s3server directory.

cd s3server

Then, execute the following command to build s3server.

make vendor && make build

After the build is complete, you will see a binary file called s3server in the current directory.

Step 3: Configure and Start s3server

Next, we need to configure s3server. Copy the sample configuration file:

cp s3server.yml.sample s3server.yml

Edit the configuration file using your preferred text editor.

nano s3server.yml

Here, you can set the port number, access key, and secret key to be used by the s3server.

Finally, start the s3server with the following command:

./s3server --config=./s3server.yml

By default, the server listens on port 80. So, you should see output similar to:

INFO[0000] Binding to address :80                       app=s3server
INFO[0000] Starting built-in storage backend             app=s3server backend=default
INFO[0000] Listening on :80                             app=s3server

You can now test the s3server by accessing http://localhost using a web browser.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed s3server on your MXLinux Latest system. You can now use it as an S3 compatible server to store and retrieve data objects. Feel free to explore how you can use it to meet your object storage needs.

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!
