Mount Wasabi storage bucket using s3fs and /etc/fstab on Ubuntu
Wasabi’s official documentation on using s3fs to mount a storage bucket is lacking an example of using /etc/fstab to persist the bucket mount following a reboot.
To use /etc/fstab to permanently mount a Wasabi bucket using s3fs on Ubuntu, first install s3fs:
sudo apt-get install s3fs
Create a filesystem location to mount the bucket:
sudo mkdir /mnt/wasabi_bucket
sudo chmod 777 /mnt/wasabi_bucket
Create the entry in /etc/fstab:
wasabi_bucket:/ /mnt/wasabi_bucket fuse.s3fs _netdev,allow_other,use_path_request_style,url=https://s3.wasabisys.com,use_cache=/tmp 0 0
Mount the bucket:
sudo mount -a
