Configuration

BucketIt requires a configuration file to run. The configuration file should be in INI file format and should contain the following fields:

[S3]
endpoint_url = <endpoint_url>
access_key = <access_key>
secret_key = <secret_key>
bucket_default = <bucket_default>

• endpoint_url - The endpoint URL for your S3 service.
• access_key - Your S3 access key.
• secret_key - Your S3 secret key.
• bucket_default - (Optional) The default bucket to use for uploads. If not specified, you will be prompted for the bucket name when you run BucketIt.

If the configuration file does not exist or cannot be read, BucketIt will prompt you to create a new configuration file. WARNING: Access key and secret key stored in configuration file as a plain text.

  --version             Tool version
  --nofolder            Do not create a folder with the same name as the folder with files if recursive is set

To upload a file to an S3 bucket, run the following command:

bucketit path/to/file

You can specify the following options:

• --filename - Filename to use in the bucket. If not specified, the original filename will be used.
• --date - Add date in a format of YYYY/MM/DD before the filename in bucket.
• --folder - Folder to upload the file to. If not specified, the file will be uploaded to the root of the bucket.
• -r or --recursive - Upload all files in the directory recursively.
• --nofolder - Do not create a folder with the same name as the folder with files if recursive is set.
• -b or --bucket - Bucket name to upload the file to. If not specified, the default bucket will be used.
• -v or --verbose - Verbose output.

By default, the file will be uploaded to the default bucket specified in the configuration file. If no default bucket is specified, you will be prompted for the bucket name when you run BucketIt.

You can also use the --date option to enable adding the current date to the filename in the bucket. This is useful if you want to keep a history of your files. For example, if you run the following command:

python3 bucketit.py path/to/file --date

The file will be uploaded to the bucket with the following filename:

2020/01/01/file
