Set Up ObjectiveFS With Wasabi
This document covers the steps to set up your ObjectiveFS filesystem with Wasabi.
What You Need
- Your Wasabi access and secret keys (how to get your Wasabi keys)
- ObjectiveFS license key from the
Filesystemsection on your profile page - ObjectiveFS software installed on your machine (see Quick Start)
Steps
Configure Objectivefs
$ sudo mount.objectivefs config wasabi://
Creating config for Wasabi in /etc/objectivefs.env
Enter ObjectiveFS license: <your ObjectiveFS license>
Enter Access Key: <your access key>
Enter Secret Key: <your secret key>
Enter Region: <your region, e.g. us-east-2>
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 <filesystem>): <your passphrase>
Verify passphrase (for <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 //<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.
