Intro
SD4H has a large Object Store. Objects are accessible through a web API via the Rados Gateway (radosgw) service. Both the S3 and swift API standards are supported by the radosgw.
In an Object Store, an object is the equivalent of a file on a posix file system. The object store gives users a lot of flexibility, but the steps to do simple tasks like sharing and transferring data involve somewhat of a learning cure. We propose a procedure here so this curve is as gentle as possible. Once done, the procedure will be both more secure and more flexible than sharing data on a share HPC platform or on some VM owned by your group.
Configuring S3 access
You will need to install and configure the openstack client on your machine.
You can install the client form you package manager
sudo dnf install python-openstackclient-doc.noarch
# test the installation
openstack --version
Or with pip
pip install python-openstackclient
# test the installation
openstack --version
You need to have homebew installed, then the client can be install using pipx
brew install pipx
pipx install python-openstackclient
# test the installation
openstack --version
