dtool-s3 0.14.1

Features

• Copy datasets to and from S3 object storage

• List all the datasets in a S3 bucket

• Create datasets directly in S3

Installation

To install the dtool-S3 package:

pip install dtool-s3

Configuration

Install the aws client, for details see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html. In short:

pip install awscli --upgrade --user

Configure the credentials using:

aws configure

These are needed for the boto3 library, for more details see https://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/quickstart.html.

{
   "DTOOL_S3_ENDPOINT_<BUCKET NAME>": "<ENDPOINT URL HERE>",
   "DTOOL_S3_ACCESS_KEY_<BUCKET NAME>": "<USER NAME HERE>",
   "DTOOL_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_<BUCKET NAME>": "<KEY HERE>"
}

{
   "DTOOL_S3_ENDPOINT_my-bucket": "http://blueberry.famous.uni.ac.uk",
   "DTOOL_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID_my-bucket": "olssont",
   "DTOOL_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_my-bucket": "some-secret-token"
}

env 'DTOOL_S3_ENDPOINT_my-bucket=http://blueberry.famous.uni.ac.uk' \
    'DTOOL_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID_my-bucket=olssont' \
    'DTOOL_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_my_bucket=some-secret-token' bash

Usage

To copy a dataset from local disk (my-dataset) to a S3 bucket (/data_raw) one can use the command below:

dtool copy ./my-dataset s3://data_raw

To list all the datasets in a S3 bucket one can use the command below:

dtool ls s3://data_raw

See the dtool documentation for more detail.

Publishing datasets

It is possible to make datasets stored in S3 publicly accessible using the dtool publish command. The S3 storage broker supports making datasets accessible to the world by setting the ACL to public-read (the default) as well as giving limited access to datasets using presigned URLS.

To publish a dataset using a presigned URL one needs to set the DTOOL_S3_PUBLISH_EXPIRY to the number of seconds one wants to make the dataset accessible for. For example by adding this setting to the ~/.config/dtool/dtool.json file or by exporting it as an environment variable.

export DTOOL_S3_PUBLISH_EXPIRY=3600

Path prefix and access control

The S3 plugin supports an endpoint-specific configurable prefix to the path. This can be used for access control to the dataset. For example:

env 'DTOOL_S3_DATASET_PREFIX_my-bucket=u/olssont' bash

Alternatively one can edit the ~/.config/dtool/dtool.json file:

{
   ...,
   "DTOOL_S3_DATASET_PREFIX_my-bucket": "u/olssont"
}

Use the following S3 access to policy to that allows reading all data in the bucket but only writing to the prefix u/<username> and dtool-:

{
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "AllowReadonlyAccess",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:ListBucketVersions",
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:GetObjectTagging",
        "s3:GetObjectVersion",
        "s3:GetObjectVersionTagging"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket",
        "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*"
      ]
    },
    {
      "Sid": "AllowPartialWriteAccess",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:DeleteObject",
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:PutObjectAcl"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/dtool-*",
        "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/u/${aws:username}/*"
      ]
    },
    {
      "Sid": "AllowListAllBuckets",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
        "s3:GetBucketLocation"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
    }
  ]
}

The user also needs write access to toplevel objects that start with dtool-. Those are the registration keys that are not stored under the configured prefix. The registration keys contain the prefix where the respective dataset is found. They are empty if no prefix is configured.
