ZERO-Z3 with rclone

rclone 1.75 and later ships a native ZeroServices provider with our regions built in. rclone config lists "Zero Services (ZERO-Z3)" under S3 providers.

Configure

# ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
[z3]
type = s3
provider = ZeroServices
access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
region = zero-fra2
endpoint = https://fra.s3.zeroservices.eu

Regions: zero-fra1 (fra1.s3.zeroservices.eu), zero-fra2 (fra.s3.zeroservices.eu), zero-eyl1 (eyl1.s3.zeroservices.eu). Keys come from the customer portal.

Older rclone releases without the ZeroServices provider: use provider = Ceph with the same endpoint.

Use

rclone lsd z3:
rclone ls z3:my-bucket
rclone copy ./local z3:my-bucket/remote
rclone sync ./local z3:my-bucket --progress
rclone mount z3:my-bucket /mnt/z3        # FUSE mount, Linux and macOS

Notes

  • Your bucket already exists; it was created with your order. One account holds one bucket, so rclone mkdir z3:new-bucket fails. Add --s3-no-check-bucket if a tool insists on creating buckets.
  • For many small files, --transfers 32 --checkers 32 speeds things up; remember the 64 KB minimum object size on the bill.
