Asked by Mario Hennenberger

does anyone has a template for a “minimal version” of the s3cfg file ? when using s3cmd --configure the file is rather large and most settings are aws related, i’m planning on automating tasks spanning serval locations, and would want to create s3cfg files for this tasks. it would be nice to know what are the minimal parameters required in order to make s3cmd work so i can create the cfg-files automatically.

Heya, @nullx8

I believe this will be a minimal template that you can use for the different locations and providers:

[default]
access_key = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
secret_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
host_base = nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com
host_bucket = %(bucket)s.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com
bucket_location = nyc3
use_https = True
signature_v2 = False

Feel free to adjust the template and script according to your specific needs and the storage provider you’re using.

Regards
