Hello, when in storage namespace I am giving s3 path, it says

Can only create repository with storage type: local

, how should I give s3 path?

Hey, @Fizza Abid! This error means you are running lakeFS on top of your local disk. Follow this page to install on top of S3.

alternatively, if this is not yet a production installation, you can run lakeFS locally, pointing to s3 by passing the required configuration values for it. For docker it would look something like this:

docker run --pull always -p 8000:8000 \
    -e LAKEFS_BLOCKSTORE_TYPE="s3" \
    -e LAKEFS_BLOCKSTORE_S3_CREDENTIALS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<S3 access key ID>" \
    -e LAKEFS_BLOCKSTORE_S3_CREDENTIALS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<S3 secret access key>" \
    treeverse/lakefs run --local-settings

local in this case means the machine running lakeFS correct?

@Walter Johnson yes, the local adapter is used in lieu of an object store and will use a directory on the same machine that the lakeFS server is running on. Keep in mind, this is not designed for production use..
