# Archil With Wasabi

[Archil](https://archil.com/) is a service that enables caching of data from and concurrent writes to your Wasabi bucket. It functions by mounting your bucket as a local disk across multiple platforms, and it provides POSIX compatibility. This article describes how to configure Archil for use with Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage.

## Requirements

- An active Wasabi account. See [Signing Up for Wasabi](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/signing-up-for-wasabi) for instructions on how to sign up.
- A Wasabi bucket. See [Creating a Bucket](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-buckets-and-objects#creating-a-bucket) for details.
- [Wasabi Console](https://console.wasabisys.com) access.
- An active Archil account.
- [Archil Console](https://console.archil.com/) access.
- Access to your system(s) that require access to your Wasabi bucket data.

## Configuring Wasabi

1. Log in to the [Wasabi Console](https://console.wasabisys.com) (console.wasabisys.com).
2. Click **Policies.**
3. Click **Create Policy**.

4. Enter a policy name (for example, ArchilPolicy).
5. Paste the JSON policy below into the policy editor. Adjust the S3 actions as needed for your organization. Replace YOUR_WASABI_BUCKET with the name of your Wasabi bucket.

```json
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:DeleteObject",
        "s3:AbortMultipartUpload"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR_WASABI_BUCKET",
        "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR_WASABI_BUCKET/*"
      ]
    }
  ]

Rather than using Wasabi root account keys, a dedicated Wasabi user with programmatic-only access should be created and restricted using the policy created above. The resulting access key and secret key are what get copied into the Archil console later. For more information, see [Creating a User Account and Access Key](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key).
7. Click **Users**.
8. Click **Create User**.

  - Your Wasabi bucket name.
  - The endpoint URL for where your bucket is located.

> This configuration example uses Wasabi's us-east-1 storage region. To use another Wasabi storage region, use the appropriate URL in [Service URLs for Wasabi's Storage Regions](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/service-urls-for-wasabis-storage-regions). Use the URL for the region where your bucket is located.
  - The Wasabi region for your bucket.
  - Your Wasabi access key.
  - Your Wasabi secret key.
10. Click **Add data source**.
11. The Status should show connected. Click **Create disk**.

12. Follow the instructions on the next page of the Archil console, which will guide you through how to install the Archil client, mount your disk, and start using it. You may need to create the /mnt/archil directory using the `sudo mkdir /mnt/archil` command on a Linux system. If you get a “permission denied” error when running the `ls` command, change the ownership of /mnt/archil. On a Linux system, an example command would be `sudo chown user:group /mnt/archil` where “user” and “group” represent your local user and group, respectively.

An example of running these commands on a Linux system is shown below. You will see your test file(s) in the output of the `ls` command.
