Help with Wasabi mounting

[privsec]

@robi
That is my problem, I believe.

My system, for whatever reason wont allow any mountpoints.

I have followed these guides
https://wasabi-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001744651-How-do-I-use-S3FS-with-Wasabi-
https://www.interserver.net/tips/kb/mount-s3-bucket-centos-ubuntu-using-s3fs/
And neither of them are working. Ill have to check out Rclone as nothing else is working at the moment.

@robi
So I have installed rclone, and went through the config step. However, I am getting this
This is the same, if not similar error message I was getting without rclone.

What resolves this?

[robi]

@privsec copy/paste issue? double check connecting via mountainduck or similar desktop S3FS/Object Storage tool to validate credentials.

[privsec]

@robi I manually type it in. In case the key is bad or wrong I just generated a new key and I will try with mountainduck to ensure its working

[robi]

@privsec Avoid manually typing it in, as it is very error prone. Sometimes the keys have 'Il' and you can't tell which is the L and which is the i.

@robi I disabled ssh, and am using my VPS "ssh" console.

Tbh, I dont know how to re-enable root user
I ran this https://github.com/akcryptoguy/vps-harden and ever since I cant get ssh to work. So I am forced to do it all by hand

[robi]

@privsec you likely edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

[privsec]

@robi Thank you.

I have access again for easier troubleshooting and I ended up reinstalling the OS and everything and once it all came back up I was able to add mounts.

Though its odd. I changed my data directory for nextcloud to /mnt/volumes/nextcloud and not all content is there.

Like if I click files manager it takes me to what Id assume is the cloud drive from wasabi, but there are files there that are not in wasabi

In addition, when I try to view the logs for any application OR for cloudron itself I am getting

[privsec]

@privsec As an example
That is on my server via CLI

And this
That is within the nextcloud bucket for my app.

[privsec]

I am uploading 7.23 gigs worth of files and will report back. On my VPS server the SSD had 131.59gb free out of 156gb

When the uploads finish, Ill report back.

[privsec]

So, I confirmed its saving data to the ssd of the VPS rather than sending it to the cloud

The uploads are not complete yet, but its evident that they are being stored locally rather then in the cloud.

Below is my Nexcloud app storage setting. Nexcloud is the actual rclone mounted folder.

Am I doing something wrong?

[girish]

@privsec Did I understand correctly that /mnt/volumes/nextcloud is an rclone wasabi mount and you have also moved the app data directory of nextcloud to this location ? If so, what you have done seems correct. I don't know about the correctness of rclone itself nor do I know about how rclone mounting really works. Does the mount show up in df -h output ?

You say there is a discrepancy between what's the in the filesystem and what's in wasabi, so this looks like some rclone issue?

[robi]

can you paste the output of:

df -h

mount

How did you set up rclone? (OS pkg, latest, beta)
Is rclone still running?

What version is it?

[privsec]

@girish It might be an rclone issue

@robi
I installed Rclone by following these steps https://rclone.org/install/

1. curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
2. rclone config
   3 rclone mount remote:path /path/to/mountpoint --vfs-cache-mode full --daemon

df -h

@privsec From a casual reading of rclone, it seems that it's a FUSE mount. Isn't the mount point supposed to appear in df -h output ? Also, see https://linoxide.com/linux-command/list-mounted-drives-on-linux/ . I think it's not mounted properly (I also don't know if this mount persists reboots, maybe you rebooted in the middle).

[privsec]

@girish

My mount output was too large. So I have it in this .txt file

Mount.txt

In addition, it is still running and the version is here

root@v2202012134940134654:~# rclone --version
rclone v1.53.3

• os/arch: linux/amd64
• go version: go1.15.5

[girish]

@privsec So, the df output says /dev/sda3 157G 25G 126G 17% /. Doesn't this mean, it's working as expected ? I think the Cloudron graphs are probably wrong because we haven't really accounted for this FUSE use case (since it doesn't appear in df output).

What we do is: get df output. Then substract away the du output size of each app. I think in your case, the app is in a FUSE mount, so the code will blindly subtract from the disk output and show wrong numbers.

[privsec]

@girish If that is the case then how come I see data in the mounted path, but not in the wasabi bucket?

In the data directory I see no files

But via file manager
I see these files
But in wasabi I see

Something isnt right and I dont know what it is

[girish]

@privsec I remember the Backblaze B2 UI does not always show the latest items in the object store. Could it be similar with Wasabi? If you create a file in the filesystem, do you see it in wasabi immediately? One other idea is to install rclone in another machine and list the remote wasabi mount. What objects/files do you see?

[privsec]

@girish Nope, I added 7 giggs of files and nothing is in wasabi.

Do you mean set up a second instance of rclone on another machine, set up the remote there and see if rclone syncs the files with the 2nd machine?

Is there a better/different way to do a file mounting?

I only did rclone based off of @robi 's request/recommendation
