Digital Ocean Spaces | Add expire date for files with s3cmd - digital-ocean

Question

I try add expire days to a file and bucket but I have this problem:
sudo s3cmd expire s3://<my-bucket>/ --expiry-days=3 expiry-prefix=backup
ERROR: Error parsing xml: syntax error: line 1, column 0
ERROR: not found
ERROR: S3 error: 404 (Not Found)
and this
sudo s3cmd expire s3://<my-bucket>/<folder>/<file> --expiry-day=3
ERROR: Parameter problem: Expecting S3 URI with just the bucket name set instead of 's3:////'
How to add expire days in DO Spaces for a folder or file by using s3cmd?

Answer 1

Consider configuring Bucket's Lifecycle Rules
Lifecycle rules can be used to perform different actions on objects in a Space over the course of their "life." For example, a Space may be configured so that objects in it expire and are automatically deleted after a certain length of time.
In order to configure new lifecycle rules, send a PUT request to ${BUCKET}.${REGION}.digitaloceanspaces.com/?lifecycle
The body of the request should include an XML element named LifecycleConfiguration containing a list of Rule objects.

The expire option is not implemented on Digital Ocean Spaces

Thanks to Vitalii answer for pointing to API.
However API isn't really easy to use, so I've done it via NodeJS script.
First of all, generate your API keys here: https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens
And put them in ~/.aws/credentials file (according to docs):
[default]
aws_access_key_id=your_access_key
aws_secret_access_key=your_secret_key
Now create empty NodeJS project, run npm install aws-sdk and use following script:
const aws = require('aws-sdk');
// Replace with your region endpoint, nyc1.digitaloceanspaces.com for example
const spacesEndpoint = new aws.Endpoint('fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com');
// Replace with your bucket name
const bucketName = 'myHeckingBucket';
const s3 = new aws.S3({endpoint: spacesEndpoint});
s3.putBucketLifecycleConfiguration({
Bucket: bucketName,
LifecycleConfiguration: {
Rules: [{
ID: "autodelete_rule",
Expiration: {Days: 30},
Status: "Enabled",
Prefix: '/', // Unlike AWS in DO this parameter is required
}]
}
}, function (error, data) {
if (error)
console.error(error);
else
console.log("Successfully modified bucket lifecycle!");
});
