# 🪨 obsidian-plugin-s3-link
> A plugin that retrieves and caches objects from AWS S3 Buckets
## Overview
The plugin supports custom URLs to an AWS S3 Bucket, allowing users to retrieve and cache files from S3 efficiently.
### Usage
To retrieve files:
* **Standard URL:** `s3:[objectKey]`
* Downloads and caches the file locally. It checks periodically for newer versions in the S3 bucket but only downloads if a newer version exists.
* **Signed URL:** `s3-sign[objectKey]`
* Creates a signed URL instead of downloading the file. The generated signed URL is valid for 7 days and will be automatically renewed after expiration.
> Note: Signed URLs cannot be used with embed functionality, as embedded links expect a local file. The documentation below specifies which links support signed URLs.
### Embedding Content
- **Image Links:**
```markdown
```
- **Anchor Links:**
```markdown
[Name of the link](s3:[objectKey])
[Name of the link](s3-sign:[objectKey])
```
> The first link opens the file within Obsidian, while the second opens it in the browser.
- **Video Links:**
```markdown
```
> Note: Signed URLs are not supported for obsidian video embeds.
- **PDF & Sound Links:**
```markdown
![[s3:[objectKey]]]
```
> Note: Signed URLs are not supported.
### Configuration
Before using the plugin, some basic configuration is needed:
- **S3 Bucket Name:** Specify the AWS S3 Bucket name.
- **S3 Bucket Region:** Define the region where the AWS S3 Bucket resides.
- **AWS Credentials:** Authenticate using the `~/.aws/credentials` file or the Access Key Id and Secret Access Key.
- **AWS Profile:** The plugin checks all profiles in `~/.aws/credentials`.
- **AWS Access Key ID:** Your AWS IAM user's Access Key ID.
- **AWS Secret Access Key:** Your AWS IAM user's Secret Access Key.
> Note: Using the profile is recommended to avoid storing credentials directly within Obsidian.
- **S3 Bucket CORS Configuration:** Ensure the S3 Bucket has CORS configured to accept requests from Obsidian.

```
- **AWS IAM User:** An example IAM configuration for user read access to an S3 Bucket.
```json
{
"Statement": [
{
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucketVersions",
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:GetBucketLocation"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::[bucketname]",
"Sid": ""
},
{
"Action": [
"s3:GetObjectVersion",
"s3:GetObject"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::[bucketname]/*",
"Sid": ""
}
],
"Version": "2012-10-17"
}
```
## Development
### Setting up
1. **Dependencies:**
```bash
npm install
```
2. **Run Project:** This watches for project changes. After the build finishes, reload Obsidian using the `Reload app without saving` command.
```bash
npm run dev
```
3. **Linting:**
```bash
npx eslint .
```
### Creating Releases
Releases for this project are automated using GitHub Actions. Here's how it works:
1. **Tagging a Release:** To initiate a new release, you need to create a new git tag. Use the following convention for versioning: `vx.x.x`.
```bash
git tag vx.x.x
```
2. **Pushing the Tag:** After creating the tag, push it to the repository. This will trigger the GitHub Action to create a new release.
```bash
git push --tags
```
3. **GitHub Actions:** Once the tag is pushed, the GitHub Action associated with release creation is automatically invoked. You can view the workflow in the `.github/workflows/release.yaml` directory of the repository.
