Run the Quilt catalog on your machine (requires Docker). Running quilt3 catalog launches a webserver on your local machine using Docker and a Python microservice that supplies temporary AWS credentials to the catalog. Temporary credentials are derived from your default AWS credentials (or active AWS_PROFILE) using boto3.sts.get_session_token. For more details about configuring and using AWS credentials in boto3, see the AWS documentation: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/configuration.html

Previewing files in S3

The Quilt catalog allows users to preview files in S3 without downloading. It relies on a API Gateway and AWS Lambda to generate certain previews in the cloud. The catalog launched by quilt3 catalog sends preview requests to https://open.quiltdata.com. Preview requests contain short-lived signed URLs generated using your AWS credentials. Data is encrypted in transit and no data is retained by Quilt. Nevertheless, it is recommended that you use quilt3 catalog only for public data. We strongly encourage users with sensitive data in S3 to run a private Quilt deployment. Visit https://quiltdata.com for more information.
