title: AWS S3 as Docker volume?
body: <p>
  I'm trying to set up a Gitlab CI Pipeline using Docker on AWS EC2. Everything worked as expected until I hit the storage cap on my EC2 instance (8GB). As I quickly learn, a pipeline could easily use up 1-2 GB of data. Having 4 on the server and everything stop.</p>
  
  <p>Granted I could look into optimising Docker storage usage e.g. using Alpine, however I do need a more permanent solution because 8GB would hardly suffice.</p>
  
  <p>I have been trying to use <code>s3</code> bucket, with <a href="https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse" rel="nofollow noreferrer">s3fs</a>, as Docker volume to handle my data hunger pipelines but to no avail. <strong>Docker volume use hardlinks which are not supported by <code>s3fs</code></strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible to configure Docker to use <code>symlink</code> instead? Or alternatively, if are there other packages which mount <code>s3</code> as a "true" filesystem?</p>
