Jackal S3 Gateway

Our vision is to make Jackal the de facto standard for Akash deployments by providing an easy-to-use, S3-compatible gateway for seamless and secure data storage

  • Crypto / Web3
  • Infra / API
  • Jackal
  • Akash
  • DePIN

In an effort to seamlessly integrate Jackal with Akash deployments, we have developed a robust S3-compatible Node.js file storage server. This solution enables the use of Jackal as a storage backend within any Akash deployment using tools like s3fs and any S3-compatible libraries.

Akash Network, the decentralized cloud, provides a flexible and scalable environment for deploying applications. However, leveraging decentralized storage solutions like Jackal within these deployments requires a seamless integration that can be easily adopted by existing tools and libraries.

To address this challenge, we have designed an S3-compatible Node.js server that bridges the gap between Akash and Jackal. By emulating the S3 API, this server allows any S3-compatible tool or library to interact with Jackal without any modifications.

Key Features:

  • S3 Compatibility: The server supports S3 API endpoints, ensuring compatibility with tools like s3fs and S3 libraries.
  • Authentication (pretty simple yet): Secure your endpoints with a straightforward key-pair authentication (ACCESS_KEY_ID and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY).
  • Seamless Deployment: Easily deploy this server within any Akash environment, allowing for direct interaction with Jackal from within your deployments.

Our S3-compatible Node.js file storage server is designed to create a seamless integration between Akash deployments and Jackal, enabling the use of decentralized storage with familiar and widely adopted S3-compatible tools. This solution paves the way for more flexible and secure storage options within decentralized cloud environments.
