๐Ÿ“š About cloud-copy

cloud-copy is a library and command line tool for copying files to and from cloud storage.

Supported Cloud Services

In addition to the supported cloud services below, cloud-copy supports unauthenticated downloads over HTTP.

Azure Blob Storage

Supported remote URLs for Azure Blob Storage:

  • az schemed URLs in the format az://<account>/<container>/<blob>.
  • https schemed URLs in the format https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>/<blob>.

If authentication is required, the URL is expected to contain a SAS token in its query parameters.

AWS S3

Supported remote URLs for S3 Storage:

  • s3 schemed URLs in the format: s3://<bucket>/<object> (note: uses the default region).
  • https schemed URLs in the format https://<bucket>.s3.<region>.amazonaws.com/<object>.
  • https schemed URLs in the format https://<region>.s3.amazonaws.com/<bucket>/<object>.

If authentication is required, the following environment variables may be set when invoking cloud-copy:

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - the AWS access key ID to use for authentication.
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - the AWS secret access key to use for authentication.
  • AWS_DEFAULT_REGION - the default region to use for any s3:// URLs.

Google Cloud Storage

Supported remote URLs for Google Cloud Storage:

  • gs schemed URLs in the format: gs://<bucket>/<object>.
  • https schemed URLs in the format https://<bucket>.storage.googleapis.com/<object>.
  • https schemed URLs in the format https://storage.googleapis.com/<bucket>/<object>.

Note that HMAC authentication is used for Google Cloud Storage access.

If authentication is required, the following environment variables may be set when invoking cloud-copy:

  • GOOGLE_HMAC_ACCESS_KEY - the HMAC access key to use for authentication.
  • GOOGLE_HMAC_SECRET - the HMAC secret to use for authentication.

๐Ÿš€ Getting Started

Installing Rust

Install a Rust toolchain via rustup.

Installing cloud-copy

To install cloud-copy, run the following command:

cargo install --git https://github.com/stjude-rust-labs/cloud-copy.git

Using cloud-copy

Uploading Files

A file or directory may be transferred to cloud storage by invoking cloud-copy:

$ cloud-copy $SRC $DEST

Where $SRC is the path to the local file or directory to upload and $DEST is a supported cloud storage service URL.

Downloading Files

A file or directory may be transferred from cloud storage by invoking cloud-copy:

$ cloud-copy $SRC $DEST

Where $SRC is a supported cloud storage service URL and $DEST is the local path to copy the file or directory to.

๐Ÿง  Running Automated Tests

Automated tests rely on having the following cloud service emulators installed:

Use the following command to run Azurite in a Docker container:

docker run -p 10000:10000 mcr.microsoft.com/azure-storage/azurite azurite -l /data --blobHost 0.0.0.0 --loose

Use the following command to run Localstack in a Docker container:

docker run -p 4566:4566 localstack/localstack:s3-latest

The tests expect a container/bucket with the name cloud-copy-test to be present.

To create the container with Azurite, use the Azure CLI:

az storage container create --name cloud-copy-test --connection-string "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=devstoreaccount1;AccountKey=Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==;BlobEndpoint=http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1"

To create the bucket with Localstack, use the awslocal tool:

awslocal s3api create-bucket --bucket cloud-copy-test

Finally, run the tests:

cargo test --all

Note: the Azure tests expect *.blob.core.windows.net.localhost to resolve to 127.0.0.1.
