object storage
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Can arkimet be configured to use an S3-compatibile object storage (e.g. minio) for the underlying files?
Hello. I have personally never used S3 or similar products. Arkimet so far only implements filesystem access, but it should be reasonably tolerant on its semantics especially with regards to archives.
If s3 storage can be mounted into the local filesystem, it might work: I know there has been success with storing archives in cloud storage before, using a file system mount as the access interface.
I see there's also an official mountpoint/client for linux: https://aws.amazon.com/it/blogs/aws/mountpoint-for-amazon-s3-generally-available-and-ready-for-production-workloads/ and s3fs-fuse that could do the trick.
But we don't have direct experience on those products.
I'm closing the issue but feel free to update it with some feedback if you happen to test arkimet on some S3 object storage.
