Deploying Filestash
Filestash is a web frontend for different storage backends, including S3. It's a useful application to showcase s3proxy in action.
- Deploy s3proxy as described in Deployment.
- Create a deployment file for Filestash with one pod:
cat << EOF > "deployment-filestash.yaml"
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: filestash
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: filestash
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: filestash
spec:
imagePullSecrets:
- name: regcred
hostAliases:
- ip: $(kubectl get svc s3proxy-service -o=jsonpath='{.spec.clusterIP}')
hostnames:
- "s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com"
containers:
- name: filestash
image: machines/filestash:latest
ports:
- containerPort: 8334
volumeMounts:
- name: ca-cert
mountPath: /etc/ssl/certs/kube-ca.crt
subPath: kube-ca.crt
volumes:
- name: ca-cert
secret:
secretName: s3proxy-tls
items:
- key: ca.crt
path: kube-ca.crt
EOF
The pod spec includes the hostAliases key, which adds an entry to the pod's /etc/hosts.
The entry forwards all requests for s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com to the Kubernetes service s3proxy-service.
If you followed the s3proxy Deployment guide, this service points to a s3proxy pod.
To use other regions than eu-west-1, add more entries to hostAliases for all regions you require.
Use the same IP for those entries. For example to add us-east-1 add:
- ip: $(kubectl get svc s3proxy-service -o=jsonpath='{.spec.clusterIP}')
hostnames:
- "s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
The spec also includes a volume mount for the TLS certificate and adds it to the pod's certificate trust store.
The volume is called ca-cert.
The key ca.crt of that volume is mounted to /etc/ssl/certs/kube-ca.crt, which is the default certificate trust store location for that container's OpenSSL library.
Not adding the CA certificate will result in TLS authentication errors.
- Apply the file:
kubectl apply -f deployment-filestash.yaml
Afterward, you can use a port forward to access the Filestash pod:
kubectl port-forward pod/$(kubectl get pod --selector='app=filestash' -o=jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}') 8334:8334
