A number of parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` to configure
the S3 remote.
* `encryption` - Either "none" to disable encryption,
* `encryption` - Required. Either "none" to disable encryption,
or a value that can be looked up (using gpg -k) to find a gpg encryption
key that will be given access to the remote. Note that additional gpg
keys can be given access to a remote by rerunning initremote with

* `host` and `port` - Specify in order to use a different, S3 compatable
service.
* `bucket` - S3 requires that buckets have a globally unique name,
so by default, a bucket name is chosen based on the remote name
and UUID. This can be specified to pick a bucket name.

When encryption=none, there is **no** protection against your data being read

@ -2,19 +2,27 @@ 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.
First, export your S3 credentials:
export ANNEX_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID="08TJMT99S3511WOZEP91"
export ANNEX_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="s3kr1t"
Next, create the remote.
git annex initremote mys3 type=S3 encryption=none
initremote (creating bucket mys3-291d2fdc-5990-11e0-909a-002170d25c55...) ok
**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.
# git annex initremote mys3 type=S3 encryption=none
initremote (creating bucket mys3-291d2fdc-5990-11e0-909a-002170d25c55...) ok
The configuration for the S3 remote is stored in git. So to make a different
repository use the same S3 remote is easy:
# cd /media/usb/annex
# git pull laptop master
# git annex initremote mys3
initremote ok
Now the remote can be used like any other remote.
# git annex copy my_cool_big_file --to mys3
