Uploading a file with s3manager

I'm trying to download a few files from my website and upload them to amazons3.

Here is my code:

import (
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/credentials"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
	"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/s3/s3manager"
)

func main() {
	// Make a GET request to an image to be downloaded and uploaded to s3
	resp, err := http.Get("http://my-site.com/image.jpg")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Get the AWS credentials
	creds := credentials.NewSharedCredentials("/Users/name/.aws/credentials", "default")

	// Set up config
	config := &aws.Config{
		Region:      aws.String("US Standard"),
		Credentials: creds,
	}

	// Set up a new AWS session
	sess := session.New(config)

	// Set up a new s3manager client
	uploader := s3manager.NewUploader(sess)

	result, err := uploader.Upload(&s3manager.UploadInput{
		Body:   resp.Body,
		Bucket: aws.String("mimi-movies"),
		Key:    aws.String("mimi.jpg"),
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln("Failed to upload", err)
	}

	log.Println("Successfully uploaded to", result.Location)
}

I keep getting a run time error of a nil pointer dereference the error doesn't help much but for some reason I think it might have to do with ssl but here is the entire error:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

As @user3666882 mentioned there's bug in aws-go-sdk and you should probably check your region.

In your code, you have written code to get AWS Credential.

// Get the AWS credentials
    creds := credentials.NewSharedCredentials("/Users/name/.aws/credentials", "default")

You might try this in your terminal :

> aws configure

And configure your aws-sdk.

Else you can use Minio. But your have to put your ACCESS_KEY_ID and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY in your code, which is very bad for production use.

 s3Client, err := minio.New("s3.amazonaws.com", "YOUR-ACCESSKEYID", "YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY", false)

Also, you can use external API Viper to hide these keys. But I recommend you to use official AWS SDK for Go.

There is a bug on the aws-go-sdk but the solution is to change the region to "us-east-1"

// Set up config
config := &aws.Config{
    Region:      aws.String("us-east-1"),
    Credentials: creds,
}

You could have alternatively used Minio-go client libraries, its Open Source & compatible with AWS S3.

Here is a simple example to Put an object

<pre>
package main

import (
"log"
"os"

"github.com/minio/minio-go"

)

func main() {
// Note: YOUR-ACCESSKEYID, YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY, my-testfile, my-bucketname and
// my-objectname are dummy values, please replace them with original values.

// Requests are always secure (HTTPS) by default. Set insecure=true to enable insecure (HTTP) access.
// This boolean value is the last argument for New().

// New returns an Amazon S3 compatible client object. API compatibility (v2 or v4) is automatically
// determined based on the Endpoint value.
s3Client, err := minio.New("s3.amazonaws.com", "YOUR-ACCESSKEYID", "YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY", false)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalln(err)
}

object, err := os.Open("my-testfile")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalln(err)
}
defer object.Close()

n, err := s3Client.PutObject("my-bucketname", "my-objectname", object, "application/octet-stream")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalln(err)
}
log.Println("Uploaded", "my-objectname", " of size: ", n, "Successfully.")

Hope it helps.
