<![CDATA[Scaleway Backup Failed]]>Our Scaleway backup recently started to fail with the following notification:

Backup failed: Upload error: code: UnknownEndpoint message: Inaccessible host: example.s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud' at portundefined'. This service may not be available in the `nl-ams' region..

What's odd is that we have another Cloudron also backing up to the same region in Scaleway (s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud), and it is fine.

[WARN]	netplan configuration is empty. this might be OK depending on your networking setup

Further, /etc/netplan/ is empty. How do I generate the correct .yaml file to include there?

Final Update: I was able to crate a netplan .yaml file by following these instructions.

Black Friday promotions

I am mostly allergic to such things. It just unsubscribe from marketing lists day for me.

I contacted the server provider, but they replied saying they don't offer support.

Which provider is this so I know to avoid them? thanks! 🙂

Two notes:

  1. Any host query returns the same error.
  2. This does not happen on my other server (which also uses Cloudron and successfully backups to Scaleway -- and is with the same server provider).

I contacted the server provider, but they replied saying they don't offer support.

Am I correct in saying this is a server issue rather than a Scaleway issue?

s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud

Can you check if host s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud works on your server? Did you use Scaleway as the provider in the Backups view? (or the S3 compat provider?)
