Goal

Create VFS item with S3 type connected with S3 bucket in LocalStack.

Used tools

• Docker;
• AWS CLI.

Versions

$ docker --version
Docker version 19.03.12, build 48a66213fe

$ aws --version
aws-cli/1.16.190 Python/3.6.0 Windows/10 botocore/1.12.180

Setup

1. Run compose command to create containers with CrushFTP and LocalStack:

docker-compose -f "docker-compose.yml" up -d --build

2. Check if my-bucket S3 bucket exists in running localstack container:

aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4566 s3api list-buckets --query "Buckets[].Name"

Expected result:

[
    "my-bucket"
]

If your result is an empty array then you may need to wait a few more seconds.
LocalStack delays on init.

3. Put file into LocalStack S3:

aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4566 s3api put-object --bucket=my-bucket --key=my-file --body=file

4. Check if crushftp container has got access to my-bucket in localstack container:

docker exec -it crushftp bash # connect to the crushftp container.
curl -H "Authorization: AWS qwerty:qwerty" http://localstack:4566/my-bucket/my-file # get file from localstack's S3.

The expected result of the last command:

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.bash-5.0

In curl command you must set Authorization header with random user/password values.
That's how LocalStack works.

Summary of the setup

• CrushFTP is running in crushftp container.
• LocalStack with S3 service is running in localstack container.
• my-bucket S3 bucket is created in LocalStack S3 service.
• crushftp container has got access to the localstack's S3.
