UMobj
The UMobj suite of utilities support command line access to our Ceph Object Stores. In addition, each Object Store in UMIACS has a fully-featured web application that allows you access to your files from a web browser.
For UMIACS-supported linux machines, these utilities are already installed and should be available in the standard PATH.
Setup
Setting a few environmental variables containing your credentials you'll need to use for the Object Store is a good idea. When logged into the web interface, you can find these credentials on the user page. E.g. https://obj.umiacs.umd.edu/obj/user/
The following environmental variables are required:
* `OBJ_ACCESS_KEY_ID` - The user's access key * `OBJ_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` - The user's secret key
This environmental variable is required if you using an Object Store other than ```obj.umiacs.umd.edu```.
* `OBJ_SERVER` - The object server to use
For example, if you use the ```bash``` shell, you can add the following to your ```.bashrc``` or ```.bash_profile```.
```bash export OBJ_ACCESS_KEY_ID="31sdfadDFAHFDN+344qOEIS" export OBJ_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="NDSMK3233adfahadflkkPDSH092DSJKDKDJKFDLSFLNK" ``` Or in tcsh you can do the following or add it into your ```.tcshrc```.
```tcsh setenv OBJ_ACCESS_KEY_ID "31sdfadDFAHFDN+344qOEIS" setenv OBJ_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY "NDSMK3233adfahadflkkPDSH092DSJKDKDJKFDLSFLNK" ```
