Example Playbook

Here's an example of how to use this role:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
  - { role: geerlingguy.repo-epel }
  - { role: kaihei777.ansible_role_goofys }

Usage

To set up the Goofys, you can follow these steps:

1. First, create or edit the AWS credentials file:

   $ cat ~/.aws/credentials
   [default]
   aws_access_key_id = AKID1234567890
   aws_secret_access_key = MY-SECRET-KEY
   

2. Then use Goofys to mount your bucket:

   $ $GOPATH/bin/goofys <bucket> <mountpoint>
   $ $GOPATH/bin/goofys <bucket:prefix> <mountpoint> # to mount only objects under a specific prefix
   

You can also set up your credentials using the AWS CLI or by using the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.

To automatically mount the S3 bucket on startup, ensure the credentials are set for root, and add the following line to /etc/fstab:

goofys#bucket   /mnt/mountpoint        fuse     _netdev,allow_other,--file-mode=0666,--dir-mode=0777    0       0
