How To Use ObjectiveFS With On-Premise Object Stores

Enterprise Plan Feature

This guide is for release 5.0 and newer.

ObjectiveFS supports on-premise object stores such as Ceph, Cleversafe, etc. This guide describes how to use ObjectiveFS with on-premise object stores.

What You Need

ObjectiveFS installed
An on-premise object store with an S3 compatible interface

Steps

Configure your object store
Verify that your object store accepts bucket names of the form <bucket>.<object store hostname> (e.g. mybucket.s3.example.com).

Configure your credentials (one-time setup)

# mount.objectivefs config
Enter ObjectiveFS license: <your ObjectiveFS license>
Enter Access Key Id: <object store access key>
Enter Secret Access Key: <object store secret key>
Enter Default Region: http://<object store hostname> #e.g. http://s3.example.com

Create a filesystem in bucket myfs
```
# mount.objectivefs create myfs
```
Mount a filesystem myfs on /mnt in the background (log output is in syslog)
```
# mount.objectivefs myfs /mnt
```
List all objectivefs filesystems
```
# mount.objectivefs list
```

Steps for Object Stores that only support SSL connections

See this guide to set up stunnel.
Use the same commands as above with http_proxy pointing to your stunnel connection.

Note

ObjectiveFS uses virtual hosted-style urls (e.g. <bucket>.<object store hostname>), but not path-style naming.
