A command line interface (CLI) for uploading files to Amazon S3 Glacier. Uses the Boto3 SDK.
Currently handles a single file upload either in a one large chunk or in mutiple small parts. The uploading works fine but it would be fair to consider the project in it's current state as a starting point for a full-fledged program. See TODO section for a list of possible additions.
See the boto3 configuration section here (for the needed authentication credentials). The AWS region can be provided when using glacier-upload (-r or --region) or it can be set in the ~/.aws/config file (see the same config page).
Of course there also needs to be a suitable Glacier vault created beforehand.
- boto3 (version 1.16.3 used)
Requires Python 3.6+ and uses pytest for the tests (needs to be installed if needed).
Currently can only be installed from an archive:
python -m pip install glacier-upload-master.zip
Basic usage (will upload in one chunk):
glacier-upload [file_path] [glacier_vault_name]
Giving description of what is uploaded (handy later on when downloading files)
glacier-upload -d "Description of the upload" [file_path] [glacier_vault_name]
Multipart upload (using -m flag and -s for part size in mb):
glacier-upload -m -s 8 [file_path] [glacier_vault_name]
