S3FS Integration with Backblaze B2

S3FS is a Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) that allows you to mount a bucket in S3-compatible storage as a local filesystem. You can use S3FS with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage using the following steps.

1. Add your Key ID and Application Key into the file /etc/passwd-s3fs, separated by a colon:

   sudo vi /etc/passwd-s3fs

   Use this format for your Key ID and Application Key:

   0xxxxxxxxxxxxxx7:KxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxQ

2. Ensure that the passwd-s3fs file has the correct permissions:

   sudo chmod 640 /etc/passwd-s3fs

3. Create a directory that will be your local mount point. In this example, the directory is created within the home directory (~):

   sudo mkdir -p ~/s3fs-bucket1

4. Mount your Backblaze bucket in the local directory that you created, using the following command format.

   sudo s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs -o url=https://s3.your-region.backblazeb2.com
