Configure the S3 client (s3cmd) on client-node1

Following commands are used for configuring s3cmd on the client-node1:

1. Install s3cmd using the following command:

        # yum install s3cmd -y

1. Configure s3cmd by providing the access_key and secret_key of the user, pratima, which we created earlier in this chapter. Execute the following command and follow the prompts:

        # s3cmd --configure

The s3cmd --configure command will create /root/.s3cfg.

1. Edit this file for the RGW host details. Modify host_base and host_bucket, as shown. Make sure these lines do not have trailing spaces at the end:

        host_base = rgw-node1.cephcookbook.com:8080
        host_bucket = %(bucket).rgw-node1.cephcookbook.com:8080

1. Finally, we will create buckets and put objects into them:

        # s3cmd mb s3://first-bucket
        # s3cmd ls
        # s3cmd put /etc/hosts s3://first-bucket
        # s3cmd ls s3://first-bucket
