Designed for multi-user systems, Globus Connect Server delivers advanced file transfer and sharing capabilities to users, regardless of where their data resides. ## Requirements - Active [Wasabi Cloud Storage Account](https://billing-service.wasabisys.com/CommunitiesSelfReg?pid=WOS&_gl=1*y9dtlg*_ga*NzkzNTc3MDE3LjE3MDk1NTIzNTg.*_ga_JE5RX701S0*MTcxNzE4NzQxMS4xNjIuMC4xNzE3MTg3NDExLjYwLjAuMA..) - Wasabi Bucket - Refer to [Bucket Creation Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/working-with-buckets-and-objects) - Access & Secret Key Pair - Refer to [Access Keys Guide](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key) - Globus Connect Server v5.4 installed on [Supported Linux Distribution](https://docs.globus.org/globus-connect-server/v5/#supported_linux_distributions) - Open Firewall Ports 50000-51000 and 443 Inbound & Outbound -Any/Any - Public Routable IP Address for Data Transfer Nodes ## Architecture ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717189021366.png) ## Configuring To install the Globus Connect Server version 5 software: 1. Once your Linux machine is up and running, install the Globus Connect Server software. 2. Open your preferred terminal and run the following commands (you can find your distribution-specific commands [here](https://docs.globus.org/globus-connect-server/v5/quickstart/#gcsv5-instal)). ```actionscript curl -LOs https://downloads.globus.org/globus-connect-server/stable/installers/repo/deb/globus-repo_latest_all.deb sudo dpkg -i globus-repo_latest_all.deb sudo apt-key add /usr/share/globus-repo/RPM-GPG-KEY-Globus sudo apt update sudo apt install globus-connect-server54 ``` ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1716544596544.png) ## Creating the Endpoint 1. Enter the following commands to set up your endpoint. ```actionscript globus-connect-server endpoint setup "My Wasabi Endpoint" \    --organization "Wasabi Technologies" \    --owner partnersteam@gloubsid.org \    --contact-email partnersteam@globusid.org ``` 2. You will be prompted to accept the Terms of Service. Type **Y** for Yes. 3. Authenticate your endpoint with Globus by clicking the link provided in the terminal to obtain the authorization code. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1716544807435.png) 4. Log in to your account. **![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717117805786.png)** 5. Click **Allow**. **![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717117849179.png)** 6. Copy the authorization code and paste it back into your terminal. **![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717117942731.png)** 7. Click **enter**. Globus Connect will begin registering and configuring the endpoint. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717118126042.png) ## Setting up Services on the Data Transfer Node Run the globus-connect-server node setup command to configure and start the Globus services on the Data Transfer Node. This command must be done as the root user, as it enables and starts `systemd` services. The IP address must be publicly routable. If your network infrastructure leverages NATing, refer to [NAT Support](https://docs.globus.org/globus-connect-server/v5/#nat_support_section). ```actionscript sudo globus-connect-server node setup --ip-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ``` ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717118531318.png) ## Logging in to the Endpoint 1. This creates local authentication tokens that the Globus Connect Server command-line interface can use to interact with the endpoint. Log in with the identity you chose as the endpoint owner in [Creating the Endpoint](/v1/docs/draft-how-to-use-globus-connect-server-with-wasabi#creating-the-endpoint) above. ```actionscript globus-connect-server login localhost ``` 2. Authenticate with Globus by clicking the provided link, logging in to your account, and retrieving the authorization code. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717118684185.png) ## Setting the Endpoint as Managed Endpoints that require premium functionality (such as guest collections for data sharing and premium connectors) must be managed under a Globus subscription. If your organization has a subscription and your Globus account has the subscription manager role, you may set the endpoint as managed using the globus-connect-server command below. ```actionscript globus-connect-server endpoint set-subscription-id DEFAULT ``` ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717118832069.png) ## Creating the Storage Gateway The **globus-connect-server storage-gateway create** command creates a new storage gateway. When creating a storage gateway, specify the policies for accessing a storage system via Globus Connect Server collections. The S3 connector provides access to Wasabi Cloud Storage. You will need to create a Storage Gateway for each region where your buckets are stored so you can access them with your mapped collections. ```actionscript globus-connect-server storage-gateway create s3 \ "Wasabi Storage Gateway" \ --domain globusid.org \ --s3-endpoint https://s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com \ --s3-user-credential ``` This example discusses using Wasabi’s us-east-1 storage region. To use other Wasabi storage regions, refer to [Wasabi Service URLs](https://knowledgebase.wasabi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015106031) to obtain the appropriate service URL. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717119378304.png) ## Creating a Mapped Collection This creates a Mapped Collection with a name you specify, and the base path can be either / or /bucket-name, using the Storage Gateway created in Create the Storage Gateway. This Collection will be visible to users through the Globus Web App, who will be able to access data in / or /bucket-name if they have access using IAM policies listed on the bucket. Make sure that you have created a local user account on the local Linux system that matches the allowed domain. 1. Get the Storage Gateway ID in order to create the collection. To do so, run the list command below. ```plaintext ``` ActionScriptActionScriptActionScript `globus-connect-server storage-gateway list` **![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1717120714431.png)** 2. Once you have the storage gateway ID, create a **mapped collection** with the following command. Inputting a / as the base path will list the root of Storage Gateway, listing all buckets. If you do not want all buckets listed for the collection, you can add/bucket-name, and only the specific bucket will be listed.
