Hello there,

I currently am able to run PV on an AWS EC2 using OSMesa as a proof of concept for some work I’m doing. Only thing is, is that I can’t find how to serve data from a S3 bucket (accessible from EC2 using AWS CLI) instead of a local EC2 folder. Any help would be greatly apprecaited!

Thanks, Brent
