Install & Setup Goofys (To Mounted AWS S3 Bucket/DO Spaces on Folder) in CentOS

- Why Using Goofys?

1. Goofys was free, lightweight, and portable.

2. Goofys doesn’t store cache in your disk .

3. You can manipulate file/folder in your DO Spaces or S3 Bucket like in your local computer .

- How To Install & Setup Goofys on CentOS

1. Download goofys from github

   curl -L https://github.com/kahing/goofys/releases/download/v0.24.0/goofys > ~/goofys
   

2. Make it as executable

   chmod +x ~/goofys
   

3. Create file at ~/.aws/credentials, fill with

   [default]
   #dont change aws_access_key_id to do_access_key_id 
   #even when you use DO spaces
   aws_access_key_id = your-access-key
   aws_secret_access_key = MY-SECRET-KEY
   

4. Create folder to mount our DO Spaces

   #create folder at your local computer/server
   #to mount s3 bucket
   mkdir -p /mnt/your-do-spaces
   
   #if you using goofys with different user
   chown -R your-different-user:your-different-group /mnt/your-do-spaces
   

5. Then you can mount your Spaces to local folder

   ./goofys --endpoint sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com your-spaces-name /mnt/your-do-spaces
   

   

- Some Problem & How To Solve That

1. Error “cannot access ‘/mnt-your-do-spaces’: Transport endpoint is not connected”

   

   When I check /var/log/messages, I got this error

   

   The solution was simple, you must install fuse

   yum install fuse
   

2. File in S3 bucket or DO Spaces became private after manipulation/modified

   This was happen when I modified images in folder mount using mogrify, don’t know why it become private

   To change it to public easily, you can use s3cmd

   s3cmd + screen was preferred over web UI because it doesn’t have “request timeout limitation”.

   s3cmd setacl s3://bucketname --acl-public --recursive
