If the volume mounted with Goofys is not visible to other users

If this is not done, other users will encounter a "permission denied" error even if viewed by root.

1.

Enable user_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf.

In Ansible, it would look like this:

- lineinfile:
    path: /etc/fuse.conf
    insertafter: '#user_allow_other'
    line: 'user_allow_other'
  become: yes

Something like this.

2.

Include -o allow_other in the Goofys command.

In bash, it would look like this:

killall goofys
sleep 1s

export GOPATH=/usr/local/golang

sudo -u ubuntu ${GOPATH}/bin/goofys -o allow_other --region ap-northeast-1 your-s3-backet-name /mnt/your-mountpoint

3.

Example of test method

sudo -u www-data ls /mnt/your-mountpoint
