Help with Wasabi mounting
-
@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?
-
@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
-
@privsec You can try s3fs because wasabi even has an article about it - https://wasabi-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001744651-How-do-I-use-S3FS-with-Wasabi- . Also, for a start, I would test the mount first without Cloudron involved at all, just to make sure it's not Cloudron related.
-
If we can't validate the rclone mount, don't continue with apps & Cloudron.
Same for s3fs if you're going to try that again.
The reason you see files locally but not remotely is because there's something wrong with the mount or it didn't work, hence all files written are only in a local directory.
Remote is never getting data via the mount. -

Other then running
rclone lsd remote:bucketandrclone ls wasabi:nextcloud.myprivsec. I do not know how to test rclones connection.I just created an empty text file called "hello.txt" via touch hello.txt in the mounted folder on my server, and it did not get sent to wasabi.
So then that means that the connection is not working right?
Could this be do to unmounting after a reboot? I believe one occurred after setting the mount up. How do i get this to persist through reboots?
I am going to try out the s3fs once more right now and will report back on that.

Ok, so I went through the s3fs installing and running and now I am getting this

If I upload directly to wasabi, they are not showing in the cli, and vice versa.

Ok, I never tried moving files with that screenshot above running.
Now that I have, and I tried moving content over it is looking similar to a packet sniffer as data is transferring over.
So does that mean I have to always ensure that command runs via ssh session?
I feel like thats way to manual and too much upkeep, especially if I have to constantly have an SSH session at all times.
So what am I missing?
-
Ok, well I just dont get it.
ITs almost as if wasabi and cloudron are only syncing some information and not all. And honestly, its irritating the crap out of me to the point where I might just cancel the subscription I bought banking on getting nextlcoud and wasabi to work.
This should not be this difficult or problem prone.App settings
The base directory has no data in it. Which is what I told it to do.
In this photo, it is evident that there is data inside the /mnt/volumes/nextcloud folder
However, in my wasabi bucket, there is no where near as much info
Why is cloudron only syncing a piece of the full app folder?
-
In addition, I thought maybe it was a folder/directory issue so I create one deeper level folder called wasabi in my server (fulll path
/mnt/volumes/nextcloud/wasabi) and then I ran the commands3fs xxxx /mnt/volumes/nextcloud/wasabi -o passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs -o url=https://s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.comand then I went to the dashboard for nextcloud and moved the directory
Then I went to wasabi to see if anything got moved to it, and there is nothing.
-
And, I cant do the remaining steps either per
https://wasabi-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001744651-How-do-I-use-S3FS-with-Wasabi-
As when I try to follow these steps, I get this
-
And probably my final note,
I cant access the console of nextcloud either. It keeps doing this loopFirst this one
And then this one
And hen it goes back to
Keep in mind, this is a brand new, fresh install not even logged into yet, my cache is cleared out as well

@privsec Is the goal here to have a large amount of space external (at correct price) to the server? If you are hosted on a VPS is there an option for you to attach external storage? For example, many VPS providers like time4vps, hetzner etc have quite cheap external disks that can be attached to a server. The reason I ask is even if s3fs or rclone mount does work, it's probably going to be quite slow - for example, I see posts like https://serverfault.com/questions/396100/s3fs-performance-improvements-or-alternative . We have no experience with how well these mounts work and if they work at all. Maybe files go missing, maybe it's unstable, we don't know.
(I have never tried s3fs or rclone mount either, so let's see if I am successful).
