Nginx to serve downloadable S3 files

Question

I want to serve downloadable files from S3 through Nginx to internal people.

I tried rufuspollock/s3-bucket-listing, which worked perfectly. But it need bucket to be public. I don't want to make bucket public.

Is there any other way to do this possible ?

Tried setting the autoindex on inside the location / {} block? – Kosygin

already tried that, no change in output. – Fransiscafransisco

So you want to do this without downloading the files? – Vanir

I want to download it through Nginx. – Fransiscafransisco

@roy, any update on this? – Vanir

Nope, I manage to do it by mounting the s3 bucket on EC2 and serving those files via Nginx. – Fransiscafransisco

This will not work the way you expect. Reason being the endpoints will return XML, so what you need is a web interface which then interfaces with S3 and provides you a folder like interface.

This required bucket to be public. I want to use private bucket to server downloaded files to internal people. – Fransiscafransisco

Did you see this? github.com/powdahound/s3browser. Looking at the config it supports private buckets – Vanir
