# Encryption Gateways / Object FS

> Available S3 endpoint: `a-s3.aur.lu` (France, Albi).

## rclone mount (FUSE)

Mount S3 buckets as a local filesystem. Useful for quick access and simple tooling; prefer native S3 clients for performance‑critical workloads.

- rclone: [Aurora Setup Guide](https://docs.aur.lu/docs/s3/tools/rclone) · [Homepage](https://rclone.org/) · [Docs](https://rclone.org/docs/)
```bash
rclone mount aurora:my-bucket /mnt/aurora   --s3-endpoint https://a-s3.aur.lu   --s3-force-path-style --s3-no-check-bucket   --daemon
```

## goofys / s3fs-fuse

FUSE filesystems that present buckets as POSIX mounts. Good for legacy workflows; note differences from real filesystems (eventual consistency, semantics).
