How To Set Up ObjectiveFS With Digital Ocean Spaces
This guide covers the steps to set up your ObjectiveFS filesystem with Digital Ocean Spaces.
Prerequisite
- Digital Ocean Spaces account’s keys
Set Up ObjectiveFS
-
Download and install ObjectiveFS. (Note: use version 6.7.2 for compatibility)
-
Configure objectivefs (config parameters will be stored in
/etc/objectivefs.env).$ sudo mount.objectivefs config Enter ObjectiveFS license: <your ObjectiveFS license> Enter Access Key Id: <your digital ocean access key> Enter Secret Access Key: <your digital ocean secret key> Enter Default Region (optional): http://<your region>.digitaloceanspaces.com -
Install stunnel
$ yum install stunnel -
Edit /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf with the following lines:
[s3] client=yes delay=yes accept=127.0.0.1:8086 connect=<your region>.digitaloceanspaces.com:443 -
Start stunnel on your command line (or using your init tools)
$ stunnel -
Set up the http_proxy config parameter with the content http://127.0.0.1:8086.
$ echo http://127.0.0.1:8086 > /etc/objectivefs.env/http_proxy -
Create your filesystem (one-time only)
$ sudo mount.objectivefs create <your filesystem name> Passphrase (for s3://<filesystem>): <your passphrase> Verify passphrase (for s3://<filesystem>): <your passphrase> -
Mount your filesystem
You need an existing empty directory to mount your file system, e.g.
/ofs.
Process will run in the background.$ sudo mkdir /ofs $ sudo mount.objectivefs <your filesystem name> /ofs Passphrase (for s3://<filesystem>): <your passphrase>
Note
- You can mount this filesystem on as many servers as you wish by running steps 1, 2 and 4 (in Part B above) on each server.
- Each server can then read and write to the filesystem.
