Answer by Hamfri for Is s3fs not able to mount inside docker container?

If you would prefer to use docker-compose for testing on your localhost use the following. Note you don't need to use --privileged flag as we are passing --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --device /dev/fuse flags in the docker-compose.yml

create file .env

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxxxxxAWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxxxxxAWS_BUCKET_NAME=xxxxxx

create file docker-compose.yml

version: "3"services:  s3-fuse:    image: debian-aws-s3-mount    restart: always    build:      context: .      dockerfile: Dockerfile    environment:      - AWSACCESSKEYID=${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}      - AWSSECRETACCESSKEY=${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}      - AWS_BUCKET_NAME=${AWS_BUCKET_NAME}    cap_add:      - SYS_ADMIN    devices:      - /dev/fuse

create file Dockerfile. i.e You can use any docker image you prefer but first, check if your distro is supported here

FROM node:16-bullseyeRUN apt-get update -qqRUN apt-get install -y s3fsRUN mkdir /s3_mnt

To run container execute:

$ docker-compose run --rm -t s3-fuse /bin/bash

Once inside the container. You can mount your s3 Bucket by running the command:

# s3fs ${AWS_BUCKET_NAME} s3_mnt/

Note: For this setup to work .env, Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml must be created in the same directory. Don't forget to update your .env file with the correct credentials to the s3 bucket.
