Built on the MEAN stack: mean.io.

s3lector is a web front end to allow authenticated downloads from Amazon S3 buckets.

Configured buckets are listed and file info is stored in a Mongo DB. File info is presented to logged in users as a filterable list. When a file is selected for download, a temporary signed url is generated for the S3 object to allow the user to access the object. A bucket can be marked as private - only users with private access level can view these files. Any configured bucket is set as public by default - authenticated users can view access all files.

• A server with nodejs, mongodb and npm installed
• an AWS user and credentials with access to your S3 bucket

• Express - Defined as npm module in the package.json file.
• Mongoose - Defined as npm module in the package.json file.
• Passport - Defined as npm module in the package.json file.
• Bower - Defined as npm module in the package.json file.
• AngularJS - Defined as bower module in the bower.json file.
• Twitter Bootstrap - Defined as bower module in the bower.json file.
• UI Bootstrap - Defined as bower module in the bower.json file.

The quickest way to get started is to use openshift.

Use the following command, make sure that you run 'gem update rhc' first so that you have the newest version:

  rhc app create s3lector nodejs-0.10 mongodb-2.2 --env NODE_ENV=production --from-code https://github.com/pr8kerl/s3lector.git

Then clone the resulting application repo, update config/env/production.js with passport credentials.

Log in to your application using ssh and access the Mongo shell and manually select your database (use s3lector). Then copy and paste the contents of config/mkAdmin.js into mongo shell. Need to work out a better way to do this.

Push your changes to openshift and then access the url for your app. Log in as the default admin created previously to test access.

Follow your nose. You'll work it out.

Setup your own environment using Node and MongoDB.

Install dependencies:

$ npm install

Create config file cp config/env/production.js config/env/development.js Configure passport and AWS access in config/env/development.js

Create an admin user in the database using the mongo script

cd config
mongo <db name> ./mkAdmin.js

Start the server:

$ grunt

Then open a browser and go to:

http://localhost:3000

Authenticate as a new user

Logout and log back in as the admin user.

Set your new user as an admin.

Log out and in as previous user and remove the default admin.

Configure a bucket

Load bucket contents into database (this lists files in the bucket once and stores that info in the mongo db).

Remaining intended features

• allow S3 object upload for admins
• allow api access to load S3 file info into database

• Go to mean.io for info about the MEAN stack.
