Using LUMI-O without connecting to LUMI

Warning

This example is for Linux and MacOS. For Windows machines this might not work similarily.

This example is with rclone. The same works similarily with e.g s3cmd and other clients. (Notice that for s3cmd the default path under home directory is ~/.s3cfg.)

By setting a file called rclone.conf in the default path ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf (e.g. in your own laptop) with the correct configuration setting and valid access keys, it is possible to use rclone to access LUMI-O from anywhere across internet, e.g. from your own laptop. Connection to LUMI is not needed.

Example: Create rclone config file and connect to LUMI-O directly from your laptop

You can get a valid rclone configuration from auth.lumidata.eu.

1) Click a valid 'Access key' (or if you don't have one, create a new key first for your project)

2) Select rclone from the Configuration templates and click 'Generate'

3) Copy the created text block to a file (on your laptop) that you name 'rclone.conf'. It's simplest to place it in the default path for rclone ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf

4) Notice that you should have rclone installed for this to work. If you don't have rclone installed, follow the directions e.g. on rclone website to install rclone on your laptop.

5) Now you can access LUMI-O with rclone. Type e.g.

rclone lsd lumi-465000XXX-private:

to see the content of your project 465000XXX in LUMI-O. (Replace 465000XXX with your actual LUMI project number.)

The connection with this rclone config-file works as long as your access key is valid. You can extend the validity of the key in auth.lumidata.eu You can also create a new key and a new config file for it, if the key expires.
