Feature Request: S3 storage bucket support
Right now it looks like Wyng only supports SSH as a remote destination option but this would be an awesome thing to have in our cloud-toolkit.
Use cases:
- Backup local machines to S3 to save money on backup costs
- Backup local machines to S3 to rehydrate them as VMs in the cloud
- Snapshots are time consuming and don't have differential support
This would be a duplicate or a branch of issue #21 (not sure which one yet).
I'll mention that https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse looks like it would work with Wyng immediately. Otherwise, you are correct about SSH being the only internal option for now.
How to implement internally is a little uncertain. Common practice seems to be to import 'boto3' library, but it would be interesting to do it with FUSE instead (then all the I/O routines stay the same). :-)
Duplicate of #21 but really needed in personal non performant PoC over rsync.net because lack of python and basic Linux tools required.
S3 seems to be able to be setuped both as RO and RW and if that is possible, then restoring through tiny core overlay, or crafted detached signed iso over Heads would make it work without the need of packaging fuse, lvm-tools sshfs and other heavy requirements
