aws-packmule v0.0.1

We created this project since one of our ci build processes requires +80GB of storage. Popular docker-based CI tools (i.e. travis, shippable) have limited space, hence we had to get creative. Packmule creates a file storage on AWS that can then be mounted remotely on the CI instance via NFS.

How to use

Install

npm install aws-packmule --save

Initialize

const PackMule = require('aws-packmule');

//aws configuration
const options = {
    region: "us-east-1"
};

var packmule = new PackMule(options);

To create a file-system

var tags = [
    {
        Key: "Corporation",
        Value: "Black Mesa"
    }
];

//the first parameter should be a unique identifier, in AWS docs this is referred to as a CreationToken
packmule.createFS('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', tags, function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err, err.stack);
        return;
    }

    console.log(data);
});

if you don't want any custom tags, pass in []

To delete a file-system

packmule.destroyFS('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err, err.stack);
        return;
    }

    console.log("I'm Pickle Riiiiick");
});
