Mounting S3 Buckets on Ubuntu/Pop Os Linux

First lets install the open source s3 Fuse

sudo apt-get install s3fs

Next you’ll need an access key id and secret access key; and you can get one from here

https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?#/security_credentials

We’ll create a password file using these credentials

echo ACCESS_KEY:SECRET_ACCESS_KEY > ~/aws_s3.key
chmod 600 ~/aws_s3.key

The next step is to create the mounting point directory

mkdir ~/mount/s3-bucket

Now for the actual mount command

s3fs bucketname ~/mount/s3-bucket -o passwd_file=~/.aws_s3.key

Now you should be able to see the mounted files.
