Lenticularis-S3 is a multiplexer to make multiple S3 server instances accessible at a single access point.
Lenticularis-S3 (Lens3) provides an S3 service by running multiple S3 server instances at a single access point. While an S3 server is usually owned by a single user, Lens3 starts multiple S3 servers one for each user to confine operations by user's permission.

Lens3 works as a proxy and a manager of S3 servers. It launches a S3 server instance on an S3 request, redirects access requests to the instance, and manages the life-time of the instance. This service, called "Lens3-Multiplexer", is started as a systemd service. Lens3 includes simple Web-UI for managing buckets and access keys. They are managed as a unit "bucket pool", which is associated to each S3 server instance. A Web-UI is used to register buckets and access keys to a pool.

Lens3 uses MinIO as a backend S3 server. Lens3 lacks a way to display a credit to MinIO, because it blocks accesses to MinIO's user interfaces. Please refer to https://min.io.
