Bucket Simple Server

A tiny server to safely expose some routes from your buckets without sharing cloud credentials

Motivation

This project was created to solve a common problem: securely sharing reports and small files without exposing an entire storage bucket.

Setting up a complex proxy like Envoy is time-consuming and often requires crafting custom plugins to connect to different storage services. While Envoy is great for large-scale projects, this lightweight solution is perfect for smaller needs, such as automated reports, etc.

It’s simple, focused, and easy to use, making secure file sharing much easier.

Flags

As every configuration parameter can be defined in the config file, there are only few flags that can be defined. They are described in the following table:

Name Description Default Example
--config Path to the YAML config file config.yaml --config ./config.yaml
--log-level Verbosity level for logs info --log-level info
--disable-trace Disable showing traces in logs info --log-level info

Output is thrown always in JSON as it is more suitable for automations

bss run \
    --log-level=info
    --config="./config.yaml"

Examples

Here you have a complete example. More up-to-date one will always be maintained in docs/prototypes directory here

version: v1alpha1
kind: Config
metadata:
  name: access-to-reports
spec:
  # Source of data to be served. 
  # This section can be extended to support other sources like S3, Azure Blob Storage, etc.
  source:
    gcs:
      bucket: general-purposes-bucket
      credentials:
        path: /tmp/credentials.json

  # Web server configuration
  # Here it's the place to define the server configuration like port, host, credentials, etc.
  webServer:
    listener:
      port: 9090
      host: localhost

    # Several credentials can be defined
    credentials:
      - type: "bearer"
        token: "12345xxxx12345"

      - type: "bearer"
        token: "6789yyyy6789"
      
      - type: "bearer"
        token: "${TOKEN_FROM_ENV}"

    # Routes must be defined to allow access to the data
    # They are defined as golang regular expressions
    # Remember: negative lookbehind is not supported
    allowedTargets:
      - route: "^/qa-reports/(.*).json$"
      - route: "^/pipelines-results/(.*).json$"

ATTENTION: If you detect some mistake on the config, open an issue to fix it. This way we all will benefit
