Lenticularis-S3 is a multiplexer to MinIO to service multiple MinIO instances at a single access point.
Lenticularis-S3 (Lens3) provides an S3 service by running multiple MinIO instances at a single access point. MinIO is an S3 object storage server. Please refer to https://min.io about MinIO. While a MinIO service is usually owned by a single user, Lens3 starts multiple MinIO instances one for each user to confine operations by user's permission.

Lens3 works as a proxy and a manager of MinIO instances. It launches a MinIO instance on an S3 request, redirects access requests to the instance, and manages the life-time of the instance. This service, called "Lens3-Mux", is started as a systemd service. Lens3 also provides a simple Web-UI for managing bucket pools. A "bucket pool" is a management unit in Lens3 which is associated to each MinIO instance. A Web-UI is used to register S3 buckets to a pool. This service, called "Lens3-Api", is started as a systemd service, too.

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.
Lens3 UI is created with vuejs+vuetify. Please refer to https://vuejs.org and https://vuetifyjs.com.
