Hello,
is it possible to use an existing AWS S3 bucket (one I created in the AWS web interface) when executing initremote? I tried but git annex failed with s3ErrorCode = "BucketAlreadyOwnedByYou".
Background is that http://git-annex.branchable.com/special_remotes/S3/ only mentions EU for datacenter. But there are three possible EU datacenters now. So I created a bucket in EU (Frankfurt) and tried to use this one with bucket=mybucket
Best Thanks!
It's not supposed to fail when the bucket already exists. There is an explicit check to see whether the bucket exists in current versions.
Unfortunately, git-annex can't support the Frankfurt datacenter, until this API problem gets fixed https://github.com/aristidb/aws/pull/199
In my tests, it doesn't fail that way when the bucket already exists. I didn't create the bucket in Frankfurt though, and it could be that due to the API problem it fails to notice that the bucket in Frankfurt already exists.
Ok, I can confirm it works with an existing bucket in Europe/Ireland.
Looks like I shouldn't count on being able to use Frankfurt anytime soon, since this PR has not been worked on since april last year.
Best Thanks!
