    Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to get my cloudron Mastodon to use a Minio instance on another VPS.

    Based on https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/object-storage-proxy/, I see this:

    At last, you'll want to make sure Mastodon is using your new proxy to generate file URLs. Edit your Mastodon's .env.production to add:
    
    S3_ALIAS_HOST=files.example.com
    

    But the previous instructions seem to assume I'm using an nginx proxy for a Minio setup on the same machine as the Mastodon instance.

    For my situation, would I simply just need to write

    S3_ALIAS_HOST=ip:port/bucketname
    

    Has anyone else successfully set this up? Thank you!

    @scooke Look at this https://github.com/cybrespace/cybrespace-meta/blob/master/s3.md instead. The one you linked is for proxying object storage requests via mastodon for caching purposes. The variables you need are:

    S3_ENABLED
    S3_BUCKET
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    S3_REGION
    S3_PROTOCOL
    S3_HOSTNAME

    @girish Great, I'll give it a try. Indeed, I need something like this because the size of my main Mastodon installation on Cloudron is already over 28GB! I've had to turn off Auto-Backup for it since it takes so long.

    I will mark this as solved as many users have succeeded to use s3 for media storage already.
