Using LUMI-O from your local computer

Warning

This example is for Linux and MacOS. For Windows machines this might not work similarily.

This example uses rclone. The same works similarly with e.g. s3cmd and other clients. (for the s3cmd the default path under home directory is ~/.s3cfg.)

By setting the file rclone.conf (default config path is ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf) on your local system with the correct configuration setting and valid access key, rclone opens LUMI-O session from anywhere across internet, e.g. from your own laptop. Connection to LUMI is not needed.

Note that you should have rclone installed locally for this example to work. Follow the directions e.g. on rclone website to install rclone on your local computer.

From auth.lumidata.eu you can get a valid rclone configuration for LUMI-O that is assosiated to (valid) access keys/tokens for a specific LUMI project.

Example: Create rclone config file and access LUMI-O directly from your laptop

1) Go to auth.lumidata.eu

2) Click the valid 'Access key' for your project (or if you don't have one, create a new key first for your project)

3) Select rclone from the Configuration templates and click 'Generate'

4) Copy the created text block to the local 'rclone.conf' file (create the file or add it to an existing file). Default path for rclone config is ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

5) Now you can access LUMI-O with rclone. Type e.g.

rclone lsd lumi-46500XXXX-private:
to see existing buckets of your project 46500XXXX in LUMI-O. (Replace 46500XXXX with your actual LUMI project ID.)

The access with this rclone config file works as long as your access credentials for the LUMI-O endpoint are valid. You can extend the validity of the access keys in auth.lumidata.eu You can also create new keys (and update the config file for them), if the keys expire.
