@ -2,17 +2,19 @@ git-annex extends git's usual remotes with some [[special_remotes]], that
are not git repositories. This way you can set up a remote using say,
Amazon S3, and use git-annex to transfer files into the cloud.
**Note that encrypted buckets are not (yet) supported. Data sent to S3
is without encryption susceptible to snooping.**
First, export your S3 credentials:
# export ANNEX_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID="08TJMT99S3511WOZEP91"
# export ANNEX_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="s3kr1t"
Next, create the S3 remote, and describe it.
Now, create a gpg key, if you don't already have one. This will be used
to encrypt everything stored in S3, for your privacy. Once you have
a gpg key, run `gpg --list-secret-keys` to look up its key id, something
like "2512E3C7"
# git annex initremote mys3 type=S3 encryption=none
Next, create the S3 remote, and describe it.
# git annex initremote mys3 type=S3 encryption=2512E3C7
initremote mys3 (checking bucket) (creating bucket in US) ok
# git annex describe mys3 "at Amazon's US datacenter"
describe mys3 ok
