Visualize S3 bucket content

@Tobias Gregorius asked me this today so I thought it might be worth sharing here as well:

I'm a big fan of tools that let me visualize the data usage like WinDirStat or Filelight.
I was looking for a similar thing for S3 and found a small project: https://github.com/seligman/dir_sizer

Found it interesing to have a look at a particular backup and see Veeam stores objects.

Actually quite easy to use:
- install python
- download aws cli and run "aws configure"
- use the tool (for Wasabi you need to explicitly specify the bucket url):

python .\dir_sizer.py --s3 --endpoint https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com --bucket veeambackup2168 --output example.html


Does anyone know similar tools?

At least at small scale (home lab etc.) this is working quite ok.
