+# Motion S3 Connector: Local Storage
+
+## Overview
+This directory contains the setup for a local instance of the Motion and Motion S3 connector. It demonstrates the use of local disk storage for data, primarily stored in `$HOME/.motion`. This path can be customized using the `MOTION_HOME` environment variable.
+
+This setup is intended for demonstration purposes only and does not connect with the Filecoin network. It highlights the utilization of the DeStor REST API as a backend for the AWS S3 API.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- AWS CLI installed
+
+## Configuration
+- **Default Storage Directory:** `$HOME/.motion` (modifiable via `MOTION_HOME`)
+- **Credentials Configuration:** Edit [`authdata.json`](../authdata.json) or set `S3AUTH_CONFIG` (details in [CloudServer documentation](https://github.com/filecoin-project/motion-cloudserver/blob/378f6264f945eddd701f197280f3d94b2a3db1a9/docs/GETTING_STARTED.rst#setting-your-own-access-and-secret-key-pairs))
+- **AWS CLI Endpoint URL:** `http://localhost:8000`
+
+## Quick Start
+1. **Prepare Storage Directory:** Ensure `MOTION_HOME` exists (default: `$HOME/.motion`).
+2. **Launch Services:** Execute `docker compose up`.
+3. **Set AWS CLI Credentials:**
+   ```
+   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='accessKey1'
+   export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='verySecretKey1'
+   export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION='location-motion-v1'
+   ```
+4. **Interact Using AWS CLI:** Use `--endpoint-url http://localhost:8000` for AWS CLI commands.
+
+To halt the services, press `Ctrl + C`.
+
+*Note: Use `MOTION_VERSION` and `MOTION_CLOUDSERVER_VERSION` environment variables to specify container versions.*
+
+## Example Usage
+Here's a basic example to demonstrate interaction with the Motion S3 Connector:
+```shell
+# Ensure MOTION_HOME directory
+mkdir -p $HOME/.motion
+
+# Start services in the background
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Configure AWS CLI credentials
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='accessKey1' AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='verySecretKey1' AWS_DEFAULT_REGION='location-motion-v1'
+
+# Create a test file
+echo 'Hello Motion S3 connector!' > upload.txt
+
+# Create a new S3 bucket
+aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 s3 mb s3://test-bucket
+
+# Upload a file to the bucket
+aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 s3 cp upload.txt s3://test-bucket
+
+# List files in the bucket
+aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 s3 ls s3://test-bucket
+
+# Download the file
+aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 s3 cp s3://test-bucket/upload.txt download.txt
+
+# Remove the file from the bucket
+aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 s3 rm s3://test-bucket/upload.txt
+
+# Delete the bucket
+aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 s3 rb s3://test-bucket
+
+# Stop the services
+docker compose down
+```
