Implement Hetzner Object Storage as backup destination
-
Hi,
Hetzner is running a beta test for Hetzner Object Storage, an S3-compatible storage solution.
Docs: https://docs.hetzner.com/storage/object-storage/
Announcement: https://forum.hetzner.com/index.php?thread/31369-we-re-thrilled-to-announce-a-new-storage-solution-an-s3-compatible-object-storag/&postID=304604#post304604The product is open beta, you need a Hetzner Cloud account and ask for permission to join. Hetzner Object Storage is free until the end of October 2024, thereafter billing starts as described hereı.
@nebulon @girish is there any possibility to implement this within the next 1-2 updates?
I have tried using it with the backup provider "S3 API Compatible (v4)", but it didn't work.
I am getting the error "Error listing objects. Message: null HTTP Code: NoSuchKey", therefore it is not working right now.
If needed I am happy to share some credentials for a bucket and cover the costs on Hetzner side for developing this feature.
Best

+1 from me! I'd like to give backing up Nextcloud a try (+300GB) and see how it fares. Currently having issues with Backblaze.

@jayonrails When did that error occur? Seems to mount it just fine at least. But I didn't run a full backup.
-
I came up when I was trying to mount it. Could you share a screenshot of your settings? (DM are open)
-
@jayonrails I've used these:
Endpoint:
fsn1.your-objectstorage.com
Bucket:Bucket Name
Region:left empty
Access Key and secret access key:as per Hetzner
Storage Format:rsync
Encryption password:yes
Encrypt filenames:no

Thanks for letting me know, I will try.
-
After trying for a few days, it works perfectly fine.
I will add this to the documentation when Hetzner S3 Storage is available publicly.
-
What would be the advantages (if any) to using S3 instead of their Storage Boxes (which if I've understood correctly are cheaper)?
-
Are the Hetzner S3 Backups running fine on your servers? On my Cloudron the first backup works, but all following backups fails after several "Retrying (1) multipart copy of cloudron/snapshot/app_1fd4bcdf-5f88-4d92-8769-43521695a827.tar.gz.enc. Error: 504: null 504" . Sometimes a second backup works, but not often. The app is Nextcloud App.

I tried Hetzner S3. Several backups failed with eror like this:
"Upload error: code: InvalidRange message: null".Sorry, my fault. Choosed the wrong S3-profil. First S3 compat., didn't see extra entry "Hetzner Object Storage").
Now it worked and i'll take look on daily usage.

I updated Cloudron to latest Version with Hetzner S3 support, but the backups still failing. So I reverted back again to my main backup target.
