Cloudron Forum

So I've been running into this exact issue really soon after hosting an instance with ~30 users for a few weeks. I'm now trying to migrate media files to an S3 storage, in my case it's a Linode Object Storage.

I've found this awesome guide which makes things pretty clear, but there's a question that came up when I read through it. In the section about configuring the bucket it says:

Also, these instructions are specific to manual deployments, you may need to modify paths slightly for docker or other automatic deployments.

Just to make sure, and please excuse if this question seems kinda inane, but: How exactly do I migrate my media files via Cloudron? Do I do it via the server console (Linode) or the Cloudron terminal? Is there anything extra I need to be aware of, any instructions that differ from this GitHub page?

Just trying to make sure I don't break everything while trying to migrate to external media storage. Please be patient.

@scooke As it turns out, with the help of the blog post you found, it was possible. Moving storage to S3 was rather easy, you just have to add the information to env.production. I moved the files to the bucket with the aws tool mentioned in the linked post, but s3cmd would most likely work as well. Last hurdle was making the bucket publically accessible since all the copied files are private by default. Made a policy.json file using this support doc from Linode as an example and voila, everything works again.

Are you using LDAP?

Not that I know of. User management was left to the app during install.
