Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

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

Usage

$ cat ~/.aws/credentials
[default]
aws_access_key_id = AKID1234567890
aws_secret_access_key = MY-SECRET-KEY
$ $GOPATH/bin/goofys <bucket> <mountpoint>
$ $GOPATH/bin/goofys <bucket:prefix> <mountpoint> # if you only want to mount objects under a prefix

Users can also configure credentials via the AWS CLI or the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.

To mount an S3 bucket on startup, make sure the credential is configured for root, and can add this to /etc/fstab:

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