Upload an Encrypted File to S3 Using Next.js

This project provides a simple interface to upload files to an AWS S3 bucket using Node.js. Created to go alone with this guide.

Prerequisites

• Node.js installed on your machine
• An AWS account with access to S3
• AWS credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key)
• An Evervault account (create a free account here)

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Eclairemoy/uploadtos3.git
cd uploadtos3/src

2. Install Dependencies

Ensure you're in the src directory and run:

npm install

3. Configure AWS Credentials

Create a .env file in the src directory with the following content:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key_id
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_access_key
AWS_REGION=your_aws_region
S3_BUCKET_NAME=your_s3_bucket_name

Replace your_access_key_id, your_secret_access_key, your_aws_region, and your_s3_bucket_name with your actual AWS credentials and desired S3 bucket information.

4. Add a Sample File

Place a sample file you wish to upload in the src directory. For example, sample.txt.

5. Run the Upload Script

Execute the upload script using Node.js:(Stack Overflow)

node upload.js sample.txt

This command will upload sample.txt to the specified S3 bucket.

Notes

• Ensure your AWS credentials have the necessary permissions to upload files to the specified S3 bucket.
• The script assumes the file to upload is located in the same directory (src).
• You can modify the script to handle different directories or multiple files as needed.
