Re: [EP-tech] EPrints and S3

Hi Yuri,
I don't have any experience of using it, so can't comment on your questions, but thought I would flag this, in case you hadn't spotted it:
https://bazaar.eprints.org/115/
NB it is 15 years old - I'd review the module before trying it! No idea if it works.

Cheers,
John

I'm thinking about mounting an S3 bucket in the server and test myself
if it works correctly. Other than the common operation, are there some
particular tests I can do to check if using S3 as a disk works correctly?
