1. For Ubuntu/Debian:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install s3fs

For Hetzner Object Storage, create access credentials in the Hetzner Cloud Console

1. Create a credentials file:

   echo "ACCESS_KEY_ID:SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" | sudo tee /root/.passwd-s3fs > /dev/null

2. Set proper permissions:

   sudo chmod 600 /root/.passwd-s3fs

3. Create the mount point

   sudo mkdir /mnt/s3storage

In the mount commands, replace <bucket_name> and https://nbg1.your-objectstorage.com/ with your actual bucket name and endpoint.

If you use Hetzner Object Storage, the URL must be chosen according to the region where your Bucket was created. You can find your region in the Hetzner Cloud Console under „Object Storage“. You can find a list of available regions and endpoints in their Object Storage overview. Example: If your Bucket was created in Nuremberg, use the URL https://nbg1.your-objectstorage.com in your mount commands and fstab. You cannot change the region after the Bucket was created.

Note: An incorrect endpoint URL will result in connection errors.

Add this line to /etc/fstab:

s3fs#<bucket_name> /mnt/s3storage fuse _netdev,allow_other,use_path_request_style,url=https://nbg1.your-objectstorage.com/,use_cache=/tmp/s3fs,multipart_size=100,parallel_count=8,big_writes,kernel_cache,umask=0022,enable_noobj_cache,retries=5,ensure_diskfree=20000,connect_timeout=180,max_dirty_data=1024,max_stat_cache_size=100000,passwd_file=/root/.passwd-s3fs 0 0
