How to Install s3server on NetBSD

s3server is a simple static web server for Amazon S3 compatible object storage systems. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install s3server on a NetBSD system.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A NetBSD system with root access
  • Git installed

Installation

  1. Install Go language:
$ pkgin install go
  1. Clone s3server repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/jessfraz/s3server.git
  1. Navigate to s3server directory:
$ cd s3server
  1. Build the application:
$ make build
  1. Install s3server:
$ make install
  1. Verify the installation:
$ s3server --help

The help menu of s3server should now be displayed.

Usage

After installation, you can start s3server by running the following command:

$ s3server --addr=:8080 --region=us-east-1 --endpoint=http://localhost:9000 --accesskey=ACCESSKEY --secretkey=SECRETKEY --bucket=mybucket

Replace ACCESSKEY and SECRETKEY with the access key and secret key of your S3-compatible object storage system, and mybucket with the name of your bucket.

The command above starts s3server on port 8080 and configures it to communicate with an S3-compatible object storage system located at localhost:9000 with region us-east-1.
