MiroTalk SFU: Recording not possible?

Hello @shrey
Just to make doubly so sure, please share your installed app version and confirm that you have restarted the app after the /app/data/env changes.

Ah, I see your issue. You are still using AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME and not AWS_S3_BUCKET which was posted to be the wrong variable and fixed upstream.
Small detail, leading to fail.
Change AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME to AWS_S3_BUCKET restart and it should be working.

Change AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME to AWS_S3_BUCKET restart and it should be working.

Thanks!
That did get it working.

@mirotalk-57bab571 Just one more kink remaining:

When i 'disconnect' the call without stopping the recording, the Recording seems to get saved only in the local directory, and not S3. The S3 upload seems to be triggered only when an ongoing recording is stopped explicitly.

Oh, so you mean if the meeting is exited by a recording member, his recording is not stopped and thus never saved/uploaded?
Could you give more details about what you'd expect and what the current behavior is that you have observed?

[shrey]

@james
Current behaviour:

1. I start a meeting as Host
2. Start the Recording (only Host is allowed to record)
3. Once meeting is over, i stop the meeting by clicking on "Leave Room"
4. The recording is available in /app/data/rec but not in S3.

If, in Step 3:
i stop the Recording and then stop the meeting, only then the Recording gets uploaded to S3.

Expectation:
Recording should get uploaded to S3 regardless of the path taken to 'stop' the meeting and without explicitly stopping the recording.

[shrey]

Additionally, it seems like if:
Start recording > [time elapses] > Stop recording > Start Recording again > [time elapses] > Stop Recording/Exit Meeting
Only the last recording gets saved (overwriting the first part).

IMPORTANT New in MiroTalk SFU v.2.0.19

To avoid confusion, I’ve updated the environment variables and configuration keys to use a global S3_ prefix. This makes the configuration compatible with any S3-compatible storage, not just AWS.

Example: DigitalOcean Spaces Configuration

# Recording
RECORDING_UPLOAD_TO_S3=true           # Upload recordings to S3-compatible storage (MinIO, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.) (true|false)

# S3-Compatible Storage Configuration
S3_ENABLED=true                       # Enable S3-compatible storage (true/false)
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key_id>             # Access Key ID (optional if using instance credentials or IAM roles)
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<key_secret>     # Secret Access Key (optional if using instance credentials or IAM roles)
S3_BUCKET=<bucket>                    # Name of your bucket (must already exist)
S3_REGION=<region>                    # Region or location (e.g., us-east-2, eu-west-2, or custom for non-AWS providers)
S3_ENDPOINT=https://<region>.digitaloceanspaces.com  # Custom endpoint for S3-compatible services (MinIO, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.)
S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=true              # Use path-style URLs (true/false). Typically true for non-AWS providers

Notes:

• S3_ENDPOINT is optional if your provider supports automatic resolution from the region.
• S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=true is usually required for providers like MinIO, Wasabi, or DigitalOcean Spaces.

Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll take a look.
