Amazon s3fs Recipe

The purpose of this recipe is to create a s3fs driver for one of your amazon s3 buckets. The cookbook supports using an encrypted data bag to keep data safe in shared situations.

Setup

To use, create a data bag per unique s3fs configuration. An example is included. Upload using:

knife data bag from file examples/s3_keys-deploy_key.json

Then, for each node to run this configuration, use a role like this:

"run_list": [
  "recipe[s3fs]",
  ...
],
"override_attributes": [
  "s3fs": {
    "data_bag": {
      "name": "s3_keys",
      "item": "deploy_key"
    }
  },
  ...
}

What does it do?

It will install s3fs on your server, then it will create folders in the /mnt directory named the same as each bucket listed in the data bag. Lastly it will create a s3fs mount for each s3 bucket specified in your configuration.

The recipe will handle encrypted data bags, and uses the Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load with default decryption key file.
