We recommend the use of MinIO Client to interact with Garage files (`mc`).
|
|
|
|
|
Instructions to install it and use it are provided on the [MinIO website](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide.html).
|
|
|
|
|
Before reading the following, you need a working `mc` command on your path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configure `mc`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need your access key and secret key created in the [previous section](bucket.md).
|
|
|
|
|
You also need to set the endpoint: it must match the IP address of one of the node of the cluster and the API port (3900 by default).
|
|
|
|
|
For this whole configuration, you must set an alias name: we chose `my-garage`, that you will used for all commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adapt the following command accordingly and run it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
mc alias set \
|
|
|
|
|
my-garage \
|
|
|
|
|
http://172.20.0.101:3900 \
|
|
|
|
|
<access key> \
|
|
|
|
|
<secret key> \
|
|
|
|
|
--api S3v4
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You must also add an environment variable to your configuration to inform MinIO of our region (`garage` by default).
|
|
|
|
|
The best way is to add the following snippet to your `$HOME/.bash_profile` or `$HOME/.bashrc` file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
export MC_REGION=garage
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Use `mc`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can not list buckets from `mc` currently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But the following commands and many more should work:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
mc cp image.png my-garage/nextcloud-bucket
|
|
|
|
|
mc cp my-garage/nextcloud-bucket/image.png .
|
|
|
|
|
mc ls my-garage/nextcloud-bucket
|
|
|
|
|
mc mirror localdir/ my-garage/another-bucket
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
