rclone
Rclone is a command line tool for managing files in the cloud. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Rclone also has a built-in HTTP server that can be used to remotely control rclone using its API and a web GUI (graphical user interface).
rclone helps:
backing up (and encrypting) files to cloud storage
restoring (and decrypting) files from cloud storage
mirroring cloud data to other cloud services or locally
transferring data to the cloud or between cloud storage providers
mounting multiple encrypted, cached, or diverse cloud storages in the form of a disk
analyzing and taking into account data stored in cloud storage using lsf, ljson, size, and ncdu
Configuration
Download the latest version of rclone from rclone.org. The official Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Brew, and Chocolatey repositories include rclone.
You can find the configuration example here.
Using rclone with IONOS S3 Object Storage
Configurations configured with the rclone config
command are called remotes. If you already have or plan to use buckets in different IONOS S3 Object Storage regions, you will need to set up a separate remote for each region you use.
Please refer to the list of commands at the rclone website.
Sample Usage
List remotes:
List buckets of "ionos1" remote:
Create bucket
my-bucket
at the remoteionos1
:Upload filename.txt from the current directory to the bucket
my-bucket
:Copy the contents of local directory
my-dir
to the bucketmy-bucket
:Copy all objects with the prefix
my-dir
from the bucketmy-source-bucket
tomy-dest-bucket
:The buckets could be located in different regions and even at different providers. Unless buckets are located within the same region, the data is not copied directly from the source to the destination. For cross-regional copying, the data is downloaded to you from the source bucket and then uploaded to the destination.
Download all the objects from the
my-bucket
bucket to the local directorymy-dir
:Sync the bucket
my-bucket
with the contents of the local directorymy-dir
. The destination is updated to match the source, including deleting files if necessary:Get the total size and number of objects in remote:path:
Check if the files in the local directory and destination match:
Produce an md5sum file for all the objects in the path:
