Prerequisite

• Make sure you already have an s3 bucket in your AWS account.
• create an IAM user with following policy;

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::<s3_bucket>"
        },
        {
            "Action": [
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:PutObjectAcl"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::<s3_bucket>/*"
        }
    ]
}

• create security credentials (ACCESS_KEY_ID and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY) for your IAM user.

Usage

Build the image

docker build . -t <your_tag_here> --build-arg BUCKET_NAME=<your_s3_bucket_name>

run container

docker run -it -e ACCESS_KEY_ID=<access_key_id> -e SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_access_key> --privileged <image_tag>

Using different base image

This Dockerfile uses python:3.8-slim as base image, which is Debian. if the base image you choose has different OS, then make sure to change the installation procedure in Dockerfile (@ line 45) apt install s3fs -y. To install s3fs for desired OS, follow the official installation guide
