Set Up ObjectiveFS With S3-Compatible Object Stores

Configure Objectivefs

$ sudo mount.objectivefs config objectstore://
Creating config for Your Object Store Provider in /etc/objectivefs.env
Enter ObjectiveFS license: <your ObjectiveFS license>
Enter Endpoint URL (http[s]://example.com[:port]): <endpoint>
Enter Access Key: <your access key>
Enter Secret Key: <your secret key>
Enter Region: <your region>

Create your filesystem (one-time only)

• Choose a unique filesystem name. ObjectiveFS will create a new bucket with this name.
• Choose a strong passphrase, write it down and store it somewhere safe.

IMPORTANT: Without the passphrase, there is no way to recover any files.

$ sudo mount.objectivefs create <your filesystem name>
Passphrase (for objectstore://<filesystem>): <your passphrase>
Verify passphrase (for objectstore://<filesystem>): <your passphrase>

Mount your filesystem

Mount your filesystem on an existing empty directory, e.g. /ofs. The ObjectiveFS process will run in the background.

$ sudo mkdir /ofs
$ sudo mount.objectivefs <your filesystem name> /ofs
Passphrase (for objectstore://<filesystem>): <your passphrase>

[Optional] ** Multi-server setup**

Mount this filesystem on as many servers as you wish by running steps 1 and 3 on each server after installing ObjectiveFS. Each server can read and write to the same filesystem at the same time.
