Merge how-to section on S3 buckets into S3 store docs (#7972)

Browse source 
Rather than having a misc tutorial page in the grab-bag "package management" section, this information should just be part of the S3 store docs.

# Serving a Nix store via S3
Nix has [built-in support](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-help-stores.md#s3-binary-cache-store)
for storing and fetching store paths from
Amazon S3 and S3-compatible services. This uses the same *binary*
cache mechanism that Nix usually uses to fetch prebuilt binaries from
[cache.nixos.org](https://cache.nixos.org/).
In this example we will use the bucket named `example-nix-cache`.
## Anonymous Reads to your S3-compatible binary cache
If your binary cache is publicly accessible and does not require
authentication, the simplest and easiest way to use Nix with your S3
compatible binary cache is to use the HTTP URL for that cache.
For AWS S3 the binary cache URL for example bucket will be exactly
<https://example-nix-cache.s3.amazonaws.com> or
<s3://example-nix-cache>. For S3 compatible binary caches, consult that
cache's documentation.
Your bucket will need the following bucket policy:
```json
{
"Id": "DirectReads",
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "AllowDirectReads",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:GetBucketLocation"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::example-nix-cache",
"arn:aws:s3:::example-nix-cache/*"
],
"Principal": "*"
}
]
}
```
## Authenticated Reads to your S3 binary cache
For AWS S3 the binary cache URL for example bucket will be exactly
<s3://example-nix-cache>.
Nix will use the [default credential provider
chain](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/credentials.html)
for authenticating requests to Amazon S3.
Nix supports authenticated reads from Amazon S3 and S3 compatible binary
caches.
Your bucket will need a bucket policy allowing the desired users to
perform the `s3:GetObject` and `s3:GetBucketLocation` action on all
objects in the bucket. The [anonymous policy given
above](#anonymous-reads-to-your-s3-compatible-binary-cache) can be
updated to have a restricted `Principal` to support this.
## Authenticated Writes to your S3-compatible binary cache
Nix support fully supports writing to Amazon S3 and S3 compatible
buckets. The binary cache URL for our example bucket will be
<s3://example-nix-cache>.
Nix will use the [default credential provider
chain](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/credentials.html)
for authenticating requests to Amazon S3.
Your account will need the following IAM policy to upload to the cache:
```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "UploadToCache",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
"s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::example-nix-cache",
"arn:aws:s3:::example-nix-cache/*"
]
}
]
}
```
## Examples
To upload with a specific credential profile for Amazon S3:
```console
$ nix copy nixpkgs.hello \
--to 's3://example-nix-cache?profile=cache-upload&region=eu-west-2'
```
To upload to an S3-compatible binary cache:
```console
$ nix copy nixpkgs.hello --to \
's3://example-nix-cache?profile=cache-upload&scheme=https&endpoint=minio.example.com'
```

S3 bucket. This store shares many idioms with the [HTTP Binary Cache Store](#http-binary-cache-store).
For AWS S3, the binary cache URL for a bucket named `example-nix-cache` will be exactly <s3://example-nix-cache>.
For S3 compatible binary caches, consult that cache's documentation.

Your bucket will need a
[bucket policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/v1/userguide/bucket-policies.html)
like the following to be accessible:
```json
{
"Id": "DirectReads",
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "AllowDirectReads",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:GetBucketLocation"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::example-nix-cache",
"arn:aws:s3:::example-nix-cache/*"
],
"Principal": "*"
}
]
}
```
### Authentication
Nix will use the
[default credential provider chain](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/credentials.html)
for authenticating requests to Amazon S3.
Note that this means Nix will read environment variables and files with different idioms than with Nix's own settings, as implemented by the AWS SDK.
Consult the documentation linked above for further details.
### Authenticated reads to your S3 binary cache
Your bucket will need a bucket policy allowing the desired users to perform the `s3:GetObject` and `s3:GetBucketLocation` action on all objects in the bucket.
The [anonymous policy given above](#anonymous-reads-to-your-s3-compatible-binary-cache) can be updated to have a restricted `Principal` to support this.
### Authenticated writes to your S3-compatible binary cache
Your account will need an IAM policy to support uploading to the bucket:
```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "UploadToCache",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:ListBucket",
"s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
"s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::example-nix-cache",
"arn:aws:s3:::example-nix-cache/*"
]
}
]
}
```
### Examples
With bucket policies and authentication set up as described above, uploading works via [`nix copy`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-copy.md) (experimental).
- To upload with a specific credential profile for Amazon S3:
```console
$ nix copy nixpkgs.hello \
--to 's3://example-nix-cache?profile=cache-upload&region=eu-west-2'
```
- To upload to an S3-compatible binary cache:
```console
$ nix copy nixpkgs.hello --to \
's3://example-nix-cache?profile=cache-upload&scheme=https&endpoint=minio.example.com'
```
