Use S3fs to mount Bucket on the Linux instance

S3fs is a FUSE-based file system, which allows Linux to mount Bucket to the local file system and S3fs can remain the original format of the object. By using S3fs, a Bucket can be mounted into the Linux system as a folder and used as a system folder.

Refer to the official description for environment installation and configuration

https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse

1. Installation dependent package

On CentOS 7:

sudo yum install automake fuse fuse-devel gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel libxml2-devel make openssl-devel

On Ubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt-get install automake autotools-dev fuse g++ git libcurl4-openssl-dev libfuse-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev make pkg-config

2. Installation

You can use the two methods below for installation:

2.1 Build installation:

git clone https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse.git
cd s3fs-fuse
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

2.2 Packages installation:

CentOS：

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install s3fs-fuse

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install s3fs

3. Create password file

echo Access_Key_ID:Access_Key_Secret > ~/.passwd-s3fs
chmod 600 ~/.passwd-s3fs

Description

The acquisition mode of Access Key ID: Access Key Secret: https://uc.jdcloud.com/account/accessKey

chmod 600: Only the current user can access the key file setting.

4. Mount Object Storage Service to local catalog/new

mkdir /new
s3fs bucketname /new -o passwd_file=~/.passwd-s3fs -o url="https://s3.cn-north-1.jdcloud-oss.com"

mkdir: Create a new folder as the local mounting catalog.

s3fs: Manually mount commands, in which the bucketname is the bucket name, /new is the local mounting path, passwd_file is the password file location, and url is the S3 domain name compatible to Object Storage Service (please input service domain name where the bucket is located)

5. View mounting results

df -h

6. Log in the catalog to view the object file

Tips：

1. If CentOS 6 is used, please refer to the following installation steps:

yum install automake gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel libxml2-devel make openssl-devel

wget https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/releases/download/fuse_2_9_4/fuse-2.9.2.tar.gz
tar -zxvf fuse-2.9.2.tar.gz
cd fuse-2.9.2
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/
ldconfig

2. If Mac OS is used to install S3fs, please refer to the following steps:

git clone https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse.git
cd s3fs-fuse
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig"
make
sudo make install

Note: --prefix=/usr/local is not required; PKG_CONFIG_PATH is required, /usr/local/ shall be replaced with the user’s local path.

3. If you use non-root account when attaching Bucket, please specify uid and gid of current account when the attach command is specified. Examples are as follows:

sudo s3fs bucketname /new -o passwd_file=~/.passwd-s3fs -o url="https://s3.cn-north-1.jdcloud-oss.com" -o uid=11111 -o gid=11111

4. When attaching JD Cloud Object Storage Service with the s3fs-fuse tool and copying files with cp commands, the following methods can be taken when the file does not have the content-type:

• Use the cp command to copy files; the operations performed by the s3fs-fuse tool underlayer are dependent on the /etc/mime.types file, which determines the mime-type attribute of the cp command target file. Please view if there is this file under your directory.

• By default, the centos7 revision of JD Cloud does not contain the /etc/mime.types file. Thus, it needs to obtain such file by copying or installing httpd and the installation command is yum install httpd.

• For catalogs mounted by the s3fs command, it needs use umount command at first and the command will take effect once the s3fs command is executed once again.

5. If you enable static website hosted before using S3fs to mount Bucket, the mount will fail; if you enable static website hosted after using S3fs to mount Bucket, the file operation will be invalid.
