61.24 Nextcloud Primary Storage S3
20221230
An object store can be used as the primary storage so that all users’ files are hosted externally to the nextcloud host on a separate object store server. After the initial setup of the Nextcloud server described in Section ?? we can replace the primary storage maintained on a local volume with an external S3 object store as described below. If instead you simply require a new folder to be added that is hosted by an external object store see Section 61.20. As of Nextcloud Hub 3 (Nextcloud version 25 onward) S3 stores can be server-side encrypted.
After setting up your Nextcloud server as described in Section
??, and creating a S3 bucket on Linode’s
management console, under Object Storage, with an access and secret
key, edit /var/snap/nextcloud/current/nextcloud/config/config.php to
add the following just before the 'supportedDatabases'
entry. Change the bucket name, key, secret, hostname and region to
match your setup.
'objectstore' => [
'class' => '\\OC\\Files\\ObjectStore\\S3',
'arguments' => [
'bucket' => 'cloud-example-net-12345',
'autocreate' => true,
'key' => 'YX98TKKH676LOGLOLL7P',
'secret' => 'ykjflkdulkj84932r88tgmv565578ffhb5tRg4fo',
'hostname' => 'ap-south-1.linodeobjects.com',
'port' => 443,
'use_ssl' => true,
'region' => 'ap-south-1',
'use_path_style'=>true
