expire command should allow setting multiple rules with different prefixes

[kdvolder]

For example:

I attempted to set expiration times for several folders like this:

s3cmd expire s3://my.bucket \
    --expiry-prefix weekly --expiry-days 7 \
    --expiry-prefix monthly --expiry-days 30

But it seems the effect is only to apply the last provided rule.

I've also tried adding the rules one by one (by separate commands) but the effect is the same. The last command overwrites the previous one instead of adding an additional rule.

Note: s3 does allow multiple rules for a bucket (upto 100 according to this: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-s3-object-expiration/)

Does this command remove the object from S3 bucket after the specified number of days in --expiry-days ?

Almost a year and nothing changed I think. Is there a workaround?

Is there a workaround?

Define the rules using something other than s3cmd? Other than that I couldn't come up with anything.

In stack overflow they suggest aws-cli but it have the same problem :(

Might be old but you CAN use awscli, like so

s3bucket-lifecycle-policy.json:

{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "Expiration": {
                "Days": 61
            },
            "ID": "Y2Q1YzIwNGItY2YxNS00ZTdkLWFkMzQtYTYxNmExNTY3YWIz",
            "Prefix": "daily-backup",
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload": {
                "DaysAfterInitiation": 7
        }
        },
        {
            "Expiration": {
                "Days": 40
            },
            "ID": "Y2Q1YzIwNGItY2YxNS00asdfasfsfYxNmExNTY3YWIz",
            "Prefix": "dbbackups",
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload": {
                "DaysAfterInitiation": 7
            }
        }
    ]
}

aws s3api put-bucket-lifecycle-configuration --bucket mybucket --lifecycle-configuration file://s3bucket-lifecycle-policy.json

Shouldn't be hard to implement for s3cmd :)
