Intro

The s3sync-service was designed with containerisation in mind thus it's really easy to run in Docker or Kubernetes. To simplify things we have prepared Helm charts and all in one deployment manifest, however you still have to create PVs/PVCs in order to mount the data volumes on the s3sync-service pod.

Helm

In order to start with helm approach your would need to add the repository with:

helm repo add s3sync-service https://charts.s3sync-service.org

Now let's create a values.yaml file for our deployment with the following contents:

# You can omit this part if you choose to create the secret manually
# please note the keys we expect in the secret
# or use some other authentication methods
secret:
  AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: "AKIAI44QH8DHBEXAMPLE"
  AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: "je7MtGbClwBF/2Zp9Utk/h3yCo8nvbEXAMPLEKEY"

# PVCs local-path1 and local-path2 should be created separately
# as well at corresponding PVs
volumes:
  - name: local-path1
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: local-path1
  - name: local-path2
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: local-path2

volumeMounts:
  - name: local-path1
    mountPath: /local/path1
    readOnly: true
  - name: local-path2
    mountPath: /local/path2
    readOnly: true

# The sites configuration for syncing the mentioned above PVs/PVCs,
# please note that there's no limit on the number of sites so feel free to create as many as you meed
config.sites:
  - local_path: /local/path1
    bucket: backup-bucket-path1
    bucket_region: us-east-1
    storage_class: STANDARD_IA
    exclusions:
      - .[Dd][Ss]_[Ss]tore
      - .[Aa]pple[Dd]ouble
  - local_path: /local/path2
    bucket: backup-bucket-path2
    bucket_path: path2
    exclusions:
      - "[Tt]humbs.db"

That would be the minimal set of variables required to start the application. Now we ready to deploy it:

helm install s3sync-service -f values.yaml --name s3sync-service

At this point our application should be up and running, you can check it with the following command or by examining the pod logs:

helm status s3sync-service

Please check the Helm Charts documentation on available configuration options.
