Bidirectional syncing tool to sync local filesystem directories with S3 buckets. Written by Josh Stockin.
Work in progress. Not in a functional state. Do NOT use this.
After an initial sync (manually handling conflicts and uncommon files), the S3
bucket maintains precedence. Files with the same size and modify time on both
hosts are ignored. A newer copy of a file always overwrites the corresponding
old, regardless of changes in the old. (In other words, there is no manual
conflict resolution after first sync. Conflicting files are handled
automatically as described here. This script is meant to run without input
or output by default, in a cron job for example.) Untracked files, in either
S3 or on the local machine, are copied to the opposite host and tracked.
Tracked files that are moved or removed on either host are moved or removed on
the corresponding host, with the tracking adjusted accordingly. Ultimately,
after a sync, the .state.s3sync
state tracking file should match the contents
of the S3 bucket's synced directories.
Depends on python3
and aws-cli
. Both can be installed with your package
manager. Requires Python modules pip
and setuptools
if you want to install
on your system path using one of the methods listed below.
Install with one of the following:
./install.sh [interpreter?]
(Preferred)python3 -m pip install .
./setup.py
(Not recommended)Uninstall with one of the following:
./install.sh uninstall [interpreter?]
(Preferred)python3 -m pip uninstall s3-bsync
install.sh
is a frontend for pip (un)install
, configured by setuptools in
setup.py
.
Root permissions are not required. This program does not manage S3
authentication or aws-cli
credentials. You must do this yourself with the
aws configure
command, or through some other means of IAM/S3 policy.
setup.py
manages installation metadata.
install.sh
handles installation and uninstallation using pip.
The default file used to store sync information is ~/.state.s3sync
, but this
location can be reconfigured. The file uses the binary s3sync file format
specified later in this document. If you want to intentionally ignore
untracked files, use a .s3syncignore
file, in the same manner as
.gitignore
.
The .state.s3sync
file saved in home directory defines the state of tracked
objects from the specified S3 buckets and key prefixes used in the last sync.
