/// CONNECT A PROVIDER / EXABA (BETA)
Exaba (beta)
Exaba is a self-hosted, S3-compatible store, currently in pre-release beta. Point storafleet at your Exaba S3 endpoint with a key an admin issues for you.
What you need
- An Access Key ID and Secret Access Key from your admin.
- Your Exaba S3 endpoint URL — the operator sets this via
S3_URL(defaulthttp://<host>:9000). - The region — Exaba ignores it, so use
us-east-1(use whatever region the operator set, if any).
Get your credentials
- Ask your admin to create a user in the Exaba admin GUI (port
:9006). - The admin gives you the resulting Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
Endpoint & region
Your endpoint is your Exaba S3 endpoint, which the operator sets via S3_URL (default http://<host>:9000). The region is ignored by Exaba, so use us-east-1 — or whatever region the operator configured.
Connect the Fleet
- From the Fleet page, click Create Fleet and pick Access Keys.
- Paste the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key from your admin.
- Set your endpoint to your Exaba S3 endpoint (e.g.
http://<host>:9000) and set the region tous-east-1. - Connect using path-style addressing. If your endpoint uses a private-CA or self-signed HTTPS certificate, provide a CA bundle so storafleet can verify the connection.
Supported features
Exaba supports versioning, lifecycle, bucket/IAM policies, and Object Lock (Veeam-validated). CORS, object tags, and storage-class transitions are not documented.
Exaba is beta ("test only") — connect it for evaluation. storafleet auto-probes your build and demotes any capability it doesn't expose.
