S3 compliant

GitProtect provides support for multiple cloud storage providers including compatible with S3 storages. This article describes the process of setting up a S3-compatible bucket as storage in GitProtect.

Adding the storage

In order to add new storage to GitProtect open the Storages tab and click Add storage button.

Right after doing that Add storage aside will be displayed. Use it to set the name of your new storage in Add storage name field(Step 1) and then click the arrow next to the Storage type section(Step 2) to expand the list of available storage types.

Scroll down the list and select the S3 storage option.

After choosing this option, the system will display more sections, including Authentication data (Access key ID and Secret access key), Service URL, Bucket name, and Optional description.

To get the Access key ID and Secret access key visit your S3-compatible platform and create a new access key. Get the access key and secret key from your S3-compliant storage provider and paste them into the Access Key ID field, then click on the Select or add secret access key button to open the password manager and create a new password using a secret key to your bucket.

Now, click the Save button to add the storage to the GitProtect platform. Refresh the page to see the storage on your list.
