Minimal S3 Clone

Bookshelf

Description

Bookshelf is an S3 API compatible object store.

Setup

*Erlang R15 *Rebar (recent) *Virtualenv (for integration testing)

Host Name Setup

s3 works by specifying the bucket name as part of the domain name being resolved. So, for example, if we where trying to create bucket foo we would post a PUT to the domain foo.localhost.localdomain (in the common case). Unfortunately, that is not going to work on your local box. You can not specify wild cards for something like *.localhost.localdomain. To get around this problem we need to use some other tool. The recommended tool fir this is dnsmasq. Get dnsmasq installed and then add

address=/.localhost.localdomain/127.0.0.1

to /etc/dnsmasq.conf. This should make all buckets resolvable. It has some consequences for
