Mount AWS S3 on boot while behind proxy using s3fs

s3fs

In order to get a mount to work I have to first set the http_proxy environment variable before I run s3fs.

export https_proxy=<proxy address>
s3fs -d <bucket> mount-point -o url=https://s3.us-gov-west-1.amazonaws.com -o use_path_request_style

I'd like to mount my S3 bucket on boot but I am behind a proxy. I can add it to fstab, but it doesnt work because it doesnt know about the proxy.

You could probably do this using a systemd initialisation script.

You can control which order these run, by configuring the 'After' deceleration.

For example, using the following line should allow you to run a command after the network is up:

After=network-online.target

Ubuntu – How to force s3fs mount on boot

Follow the Ubuntu RcLocalHowto to create /etc/init.d/local, and then put your command in that file. The mount will then happen automatically on boot.

To test, invoke /etc/init.d/local manually on the command line (as root). You should see that causes the mount to occur.

EDIT: doing the mount from /etc/fstab should work fine too, according to the s3fs faq:

s3fs#example.com /mnt/s3/blah fuse _netdev,use_cache=/tmp,use_rrs=1,allow_other 0 0

Reason to prefer the /etc/init.d/local approach: it's simpler to set up, just put your existing mount script in that file.

Reason to prefer the fstab approach: it's a more standard way to do mounts, and someone who doesn't know about your setup can just look in /etc/fstab to determine what mounts your machine is making.
