The happy flow works, but not all the flags combinations have been tested.**\n\n**BE CAREFUL USING IT WITH ALREADY EXISTING EBS VOLUMES, DATA CAN BE LOST IF YOU SPECIFY AS TARGET AN ALREADY EXISTING DIRECTORY**\n\nPlease test it and report issues, patches are more than welcome.\n\n# ebs-cargo\n\nA small utility to simplify loading GBs of data in an EBS volume on AWS.\n\nWhen you want to load data on a new EBS volume, lots of operations have to be done: logging in AWS, creating a volume, creating an instance, attaching the volume, formatting it, mounting it, downloading instance keys, using them to sync data, detaching the EBS and so on.\n\nWouldn't be easier just having to launch a command indicating which local directory you want to upload?\n\nThanks to EBS-Cargo you can do that!\n\n## Setup\n\nAfter cloning the repo (we are working on other ways to distribuite the program), you need to configure your AWS credentials.\n\nYou can read the [full guide on the AWS website](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/guide/quickstart.html#configuration) or simply create a file in `~/.aws/credentials` and insert:\n\n```\n[default]\naws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY\naws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY\n```\n\nYou also need to install some requirements:\n\n```\npip install -r requirements.txt --user\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nThe simplest usage is launching the main.py indicating which directory you want to sync:\n\n```\npython3 main.py ~/clone-this\n```\n\nSane defaults are set for all the options.\n\nYou can see all the available options using:\n\n```\npython3 main.py --help\n```\n\nCreating a new 100 GBs EBS in us-east-1 and call it *nextbit*, with detailed logs:\n\n```\npython3 main.py --verbose --size 100 --volume-name nextbit --region us-east-1 ~/clone-this \n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnextbitlabs%2Febs-cargo","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnextbitlabs%2Febs-cargo","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnextbitlabs%2Febs-cargo/lists"}
