| ### AWS S3 Bucket Configuration
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Bucket Created
 | |
| GoToSocial by default creates signed URL's which means we dont need to change anything major on the policies of the bucket.
 | |
| Here are the steps to follow for bucket creation
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Login to AWS -> select S3 as service.
 | |
| 2. click Create Bucket
 | |
| 3. Provide a unique name and avoid adding "." in the name
 | |
| 4. Do not change the public access settings (Let them be on "block public access" mode)
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### AWS ACCESS KEY Configuration
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. In AWS Console -> IAM (under Security, Identity, & Compliance)
 | |
| 2. Add a user with programatic api's access
 | |
| 3. We recommend setting up below listed policy, replace <bucketname> with your buckets name
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```json
 | |
| {
 | |
|     "Statement": [
 | |
|         {
 | |
|             "Effect": "Allow",
 | |
|             "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
 | |
|             "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
 | |
|         },
 | |
|         {
 | |
|             "Effect": "Allow",
 | |
|             "Action": "s3:*",
 | |
|             "Resource": [
 | |
|                 "arn:aws:s3:::<bucket_name>",
 | |
|                 "arn:aws:s3:::<bucket_name>/*"
 | |
|             ]
 | |
|         }
 | |
|     ]
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 4. Provide the values in config above
 | |
|   
 | |
|   * storage-s3-endpoint -> should be your bucket location say `s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com`
 | |
|   * storage-s3-access-key -> Access key you obtained for the user created above
 | |
|   * storage-s3-secret-key -> Secret key you obtained for the user created above
 | |
|   * storage-s3-bucket -> Keep this as the <bucketname> that you created just now.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| #### Migrating data from local storage to AWS s3 bucket
 | |
| 
 | |
| This step is only needed if you have a running instance. Ignore this if you are setting up a fresh instance. 
 | |
| We have provided [s3cmd](https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd) command for the copy operation.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| s3cmd sync --add-header="Cache-Control:public, max-age=315576000, immutable" ./ s3://<bucket name>
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Migrating between backends
 | |
| 
 | |
| Currently, migration between backends is freely possible. To do so, you only
 | |
| have to move the directories (and their contents) between the different implementations.
 | |
| 
 | |
| One way to do so, is by utilizing the [MinIO
 | |
| Client](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-client-complete-guide.html). The
 | |
| migration process might look something like this:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| # 1. Change the GoToSocial configuration to the new backend (and restart)
 | |
| # 2. Register the S3 Backend with the MinIO client
 | |
| mc alias set scw https://s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud
 | |
| # 3. Mirror the folder structure to the remote bucket
 | |
| mc mirror /gotosocial/storage/ scw/example-bucket/
 | |
| # 4. Aaaand we're done!
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you want to migrate back, switch around the arguments of the `mc mirror` command.
