S3 ninja emulates the Amazon S3 API for development and test purposes.

See https://s3ninja.net for more details.

To run S3 Ninja using Docker Compose for development:

1. Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed.
2. From the project root, run:

   docker-compose up --build
   

   This will build the image and start the service on port 9444, with data persisted in the ./data directory.

• Build the image (requires Maven artifacts in target/):

  docker build -t s3ninja:local .
  

• Run the container:

  docker run --rm -p 9444:9000 -v %cd%/data:/data s3ninja:local
  

  • Access the UI at: http://localhost:9444/ui
  • S3 API endpoint: http://localhost:9444/

• Mount your local data/ directory to persist buckets and objects across container restarts.
• For code changes, rebuild the image after running mvn clean package -DskipTests.

S3 Ninja supports AWS S3-compatible presigned POST requests for secure file uploads.

1. Launch the web UI (default: http://localhost:9444/ui) and click Presigned POST Workbench or go directly to http://localhost:9444/ui/presigned-post.
2. Fill bucket/key/region plus optional session token (generate it inline) and hit Generate Presigned POST.
3. Copy the auto-generated HTML form or use the embedded Test Upload panel to POST a file against your running instance, no Maven needed.
4. Inspect the policy JSON, Base64 policy, and signature in the results card for debugging or automation.

• URL: POST http://localhost:9444/<bucket>/<key>
• Content-Type: multipart/form-data
• Form Fields: Include the generated fields plus the file to upload as file=@/path/to/file.

Example curl command:

curl -X POST "http://localhost:9444/test/example.txt" \
  -F "key=example.txt" \
  -F "policy=<BASE64_POLICY>" \
  -F "x-amz-algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256" \
  -F "x-amz-credential=<ACCESS_KEY>/<DATE>/<REGION>/s3/aws4_request" \
  -F "x-amz-date=<YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ>" \
  -F "x-amz-signature=<HEX_SIGNATURE>" \
  -F "[email protected]"

If using a session token (from /session-token endpoint), add:

-F "x-amz-security-token=<SESSION_TOKEN>"

The policy enforces conditions like bucket, key, expiration, and optional security token. On success, the file is uploaded; on failure, an XML error is returned.
