s3-server

Serve the contents of a S3 bucket (private or public) over HTTP.

$ npm install -g s3-server
$ s3-server --key $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --secret $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET --bucket my-s3-bucket --port 9101
Serving my-s3-bucket on port 9101

S3 Server is a proxy server which streams resources from an S3 bucket over HTTP. For example, in the example above, a request for "http://localhost:9101/index.html" would return the contents of "index.html" in the "my-s3-bucket", regardless of whether it's private or not (so long as the key provided has access).

Or, perhaps, you are hosting something like a GitBook in S3, and just want a nicer URL (e.g. https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket-name/path/to/whatever/index.html to be http://myhost.com/whatever). Then you might do this:

s3-server --key $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID --secret $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET --bucket my-s3-bucket --prefix "path/to/" --port 9101

Parameters

• --key parameter or AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID environment variable. Required.
• --secret parameter or AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variable. Required.
• --bucket parameter or S3_SERVER_BUCKET environment variable. Required.
• --endpoint parameter or S3_SERVER_ENDPOINT environment variable. Required.
• --port parameter or S3_SERVER_PORT environment variable. Optional, defaults to 3010.
• --prefix parameter or S3_KEY_PREFIX environment variable. Optional, defaults to empty string. Specifies a string to be prepended to the URL to find a file in S3 bucket. Note the trailing slash!

Developing

Please see the bin/server.js file if you're having any problems, the code for this module is very small, it delegates the work to express and knox.
