Transfer files from aws s3 to local

[gaganbiswas]

I had previously set up my pocketbase server to save the images/files to S3. Is there any way to download them locally and continue using them. I don't want to save files to S3 anymore and want those files to be saved locally.

You can use external tools like rclone or s5cmd to download your files in pb_data/storage and then switch the toggle from the Admin UI storage settings.

Okay, so I will be just downloading my s3 bucket and just upload the data into pb_data/storage/ and it will then use the local directory storage for retrieving the images/files right?

There are a few golang s3 packages that talk to S3.

se could create a issue or roadmap item to include this as an extension and so then it could be , I believe , part of a migration.

Much lighter than the Amazon S3 golang code

I am using this s3 which effectively mimic s3 using NATS object store .

the NATS server is embedded with pocketbsse and it allows me to control where the files are stored.

it’s used with marmot , which replicates the pockets db using nats.

So both files and db are highly available effectively .

if there is any interest I can rework it as either an extension or a module for PB, that is controlled by the Config or Admin gui .
