How do I use gsutil with Wasabi?

>gsutil is Google Cloud Storage's command line tool to access the cloud resources. gsutil has an in-built configuration to access Amazon S3 buckets. This configuration can be used to point the storage host to Wasabi servers as a means of allow you to use gsutil with Wasabi. 

Steps:

  1. Install gsutil. Follow all the instructions provided on the documentation page

  2. Edit the ~/.boto file to provide Wasabi Access keys and Wasabi endpoint

  3. Under the [Credentials] section of the file make the below changes

Uncomment 'aws_access_key_id' , 'aws_secret_access_key', 's3_host' parameters and provide the below values:


# To add HMAC aws credentials for "s3://" URIs, edit and uncomment the
# following two lines:
aws_access_key_id = 
aws_secret_access_key = 
# The ability to specify an alternate storage host and port
# is primarily for cloud storage service developers.
# Setting a non-default gs_host only works if prefer_api=xml.
s3_host = s3.wasabisys.com
#s3_port =

  1. Sample commands:

    List files in bucket: 

           gsutil ls s3://
