Are you looking for an easy way to browse your AWS S3 buckets? The AWS S3 Bucket Browser is a single HTML file that allows users to view their S3 bucket contents effortlessly. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up the browser, discussing its features, and addressing common troubleshooting issues.

Features of AWS S3 Bucket Browser

• Supports multiple providers: GCP, IBM, DigitalOcean
• Lists all files in an organized table view
• Treats and displays keys as folders
• Renders previews for Markdown files
• Includes an install button for the manifest.plist on iOS devices

How to Install AWS S3 Bucket Browser

Getting started with the AWS S3 Bucket Browser is quite straightforward! Just follow these steps:

Self-Hosted Installation

1. Download the index.html file from the project repository.
2. Upload the index.html to your S3 bucket.
3. Adjust the config section within the index.html as needed. Here’s an analogy to help you understand the configuration:

Imagine the index.html file is a recipe for a delicious dish. In this recipe, the config settings (like title, subtitle, logo, colors, and bucket URLs) represent the ingredients and cooking time—each must be just right for the dish (or in this case, the browser) to turn out well. You want to ensure you have the right ingredients, their quantities (URLs), and proper cooking methods (settings) to achieve the best outcome.

const config = {
    title: "Bucket Browser",
    subtitle: "HTML made with ❤ by qoomon",
    logo: "https://qoomon.github.io/aws-s3-bucket-browser/logo.png",
    primaryColor: "#167df0",
    // other settings
};

Setting Bucket Permissions

To ensure proper access, you must grant permissions:

• Visit S3 Bucket Permissions.
• Enable public read access through either the Access Control List (ACL) or Bucket Policy.

Open the Bucket

Finally, open your bucket’s URL along with index.html in your browser to see it in action!

Hosted Method

If you prefer to use a hosted method, ensure the following:

• Check permissions as described in the self-hosted section.
• Open the hosted index.html and provide the bucket URL as a request parameter, such as in this URL: Demo Link.

CloudFront and IBM Cloud Setup

If you are using CloudFront or IBM Cloud, ensure you follow the specific setup instructions provided for those services to successfully configure the S3 Bucket Browser.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you run into issues while using the AWS S3 Bucket Browser, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Check your bucket permissions—ensure public access is allowed.
• Verify CORS configurations to allow access from your browser.
• If the browser fails to load correctly, ensure the URLs in the configuration are correct and accessible.
