Question Regarding S3 Compatible Backend Provider

[jgould22]

I am working through https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore/blob/master/deploy/prod/docker/single/README.md to get a basic test setup going.

I would like to use an S3 Compatible store(MinIO or Ceph for example) however from what I can tell the aws provider does not have a setting (presumably because the underlying library does not provide this, see aws/aws-sdk#230)

Is there a way I can set the back-end provider to an s3 compatible store?

See:

• Support custom s3 endpoint (minio, wasabi) #94

Note also that any backend-specific credentials must be available at cluster startup, which is not easy to achieve when you have a pre-built container. Might make sense to, first, experiment with running aistore from the source where you don't have those restrictions.

Thank you for the quick response.
