Connect a S3manager to Streambased S.S.K.

S3manager is a popular, open source web GUI to manage S3 buckets from any provider. Let's use it to connect to real-time data.

We are using the S3manager client in this example but the steps are similar for most Amazon S3 clients.

Prerequisites:

• An active Streambased Cloud account, sign up or log in here

• A docker environment

Step 1: Fetch your login credentials

Access to Streambased Cloud is managed via API-keys, you can create one for you new connection here

With s3manager you will use your public key as the s3 api key and your secret key as the secret key. Make a note of these for Step 2.

Step 2: Start s3manager

S3manager is distributed as a docker image and is launched as a long running container:

docker run  \
  -p 8080:8080  \
  -e 'ACCESS_KEY_ID=[public key from step 1]'  \
  -e 'SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[secret key from step 1]' \
  -e ENDPOINT=ssk-beta.streambased.cloud \
  -e REGION=us-west-1 \
  cloudlena/s3manager

Step 3: Browse the filesystem

With S3manager launched, files can be found at http://localhost:8080
