/// CONNECT A PROVIDER / DIGITALOCEAN SPACES

DigitalOcean Spaces

DigitalOcean Spaces is S3-compatible, so you connect it as an access-key Fleet with a custom endpoint. The Spaces region is part of the endpoint URL, so there is no separate region field to worry about getting wrong.

What you need

  • A Spaces access key and secret, generated under API → Spaces Keys in the DigitalOcean control panel.
  • The Space (bucket) name.
  • The regional endpoint: https://<REGION>.digitaloceanspaces.com — the region is in the endpoint, for example https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com.

Connect the Fleet

Screenshot: Storafleet's Create Fleet wizard with this provider selected and the endpoint + keys filled in — the step that unsticks a first-timer.

From the Fleet page, click Create Fleet and pick Access Keys. Then:

  1. Enter a display name and the Space name.
  2. Paste the Spaces access key and secret.
  3. Set the endpoint to https://<REGION>.digitaloceanspaces.com using your Space's region, such as nyc3 or fra1.
  4. Click Connect Fleet.

Use a full-access key

Generate a full-access Spaces key for storafleet. DigitalOcean's limited-access (scoped) keys cannot manage bucket policies, so features that depend on reading or writing the bucket policy will fail if you connect with a scoped key.

Free per-bucket CDN

Every Space comes with a free CDN you can enable per bucket. It supports a custom domain with managed TLS and a cache purge for invalidating content. See the CDN guide for how to wire it up with a storafleet Fleet.

Because the region lives in the endpoint, make sure the region in the URL matches the region your Space was created in.
