I have been trying to use the s3fs project as way to enable large amounts of storage (for videos) on my Piwigo setup. For those unfamiliar, Amazon S3 is a large scale object store and the s3fs project enables it to be mounted like it is a directory on your local filesystem.

When I use the s3fs folder as the destination behind upload/, I get an error that piwigo is unable to create the desired directory needed. Normally this is a permission issue, however even chmod 777 and chown'ing to different users (root,www-data), I have not been able to get past the following error:

error during buffer directory creation

Which appears to be thrown either here or here. I can create that directory, I can create the upload path (2017/09/...), and I can manipulate files/folders as the user, but it appears piwigo is failing within the mkgetdir method.

Has anyone had success with this?

My s3fs command to mount the folder is:

s3fs <s3 bucket> /<bucket mount path> -o passwd_file=<password path> -o use_cache=/tmp/ -o allow_other,uid=0,gid=0

I will note that I am using a piwigo docker setup running under root, however even installing piwigo natively it appears to have the same issues.

For anyone who needs this, I was able to get it working by switching to the yas3fs project instead of using s3fs. Appears to be working great so far!

Closing.

It seems that s3fs is also working now:

sudo s3fs BUCKET_NAME PIWIGO_PATH/galleries/s3 -o passwd_file=${HOME}/.passwd-s3fs -o allow_other,uid=1000,gid=33,umask=0022
