Cloudserver custom build instructions

Cloudserver custom build instructions

Every S3 Connector(S3C) release has a corresponding tag in Git for Cloudserver. So a release, for example, S3C 7.4.4.7 has a tag 7.4.4.7 in Cloudserver’s git repository. The following instructions can be used to have a custom build of Cloudserver, this build writes metadata and data to the file system for persistence.

Run as a Docker container

This requires docker installed on the machine. Docker can be installed by following the instructions at https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop

git clone [email protected]:scality/cloudserver.git && cd cloudserver
git checkout tags/<release number> (for example for release 7.4.4.7 use git checkout tags/7.4.4.7)
echo node_modules >> .dockerignore
docker build ./ -t cloudserver:7.4.4.7
docker run -d --name cloudserver -p 8000:8000 cloudserver:7.4.4.7

Run directly on the development environment

This requires Node.js version 6.x installed on the host machine.

git clone [email protected]:scality/cloudserver.git && cd cloudserver
git checkout tags/<release number> (for example for release 7.4.4.7 use git checkout tags/7.4.4.7)
npm install
npm start

This will have Cloudserver running on port 8000 on the loopback interface, so http://localhost:8000 can be used as an endpoint. The default credentials are

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: accessKey1
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: verySecretKey1
