File path for s3fs in standalone minions.

[ty...@ospreyinformatics.com]

Hi, 

We are attempting to use s3fs as a fileserver backend and I'm having issues finding the files with file.managed. 

Typically our states are tested in a standalone minion on a Vagrant machine before being pushed to our production saltmaster (development VMs are also created using standalone minions). 

In the minion config file I have added the following: 

fileserver_backend:
  - s3fs #nothing is cached if s3 is used as is suggested by the documentation


s3.keyid: <keyid>
s3.key: <key>


s3.buckets:
  - <target_bucket>

The bucket has the following directory structure: 

<target_bucket>/base/<file>

<target_bucket>/dev/<file>

When I run a state the output on the minion indicates that s3 is being cached and I can see the files being downloaded (additionally, the files are in /var/cache/salt/minion/s3cache). However if we try to use file.manage with the s3 file as the source an error is returned saying the file can't be found. The state looks like:

/path/to/file:
  file.managed:
    - source: salt://<target_bucket>/<file>

I've tried adding the bucket to base or dev environments in the config file with no difference. 

Is the target path correct? Any guidance into how to further debug the issue would be appreciated. 

Cheers,

Tyler

Hi,

Does the bucket dirs "base" and "dev" match the naming of the saltenvs you're using?

Also you don't need to use the "bucket" name in the file.managed. Salt just sees the files like they exist in the root, so the dir pattern for the file.managed's "root" is actually "<target_bucket>/<env>/".

For example in the "dev" saltenv:

s3://my_target_bucket/dev/pkgs/magic_file.txt

would then be:

file.managed:

  - source: salt://pkgs/magic_file.txt

Hope that helps.

-A.

Hi Alan, 

"base" and "dev" did match the environments we've defined. Using the paths you've suggested above its working. Thanks for the help. 

Cheers,

Tyler
