Note 2: for Minio access key, use the keyID, and for Minio Secret key, use the applicationKey.

Note 1: for the endpoint URL, use the s3 URL from earlier, but without your bucket name as a prefix. If you're following the Mastodon installer, when it asks the question about S3 storage, say 'yes' and choose the Minio option. Now we're ready to tell Mastodon to use this new bucket! For 'type of access' choose 'Read and Write', and leave the other 2 fields blank. Give it a name, and choose your bucket from the dropdown. On the menu, choose 'App Keys' and scroll down to 'Add a New Application Key'. The last step in the Backblaze account is creating an app key. Make a note of the s3 URL - it will be in the format of yourbucketname.s3-endpoint-url Create an API Key Once uploaded, click on the filename and you'll be shown various URLs. We're uploading a file here (doesn't matter what) to confirm the enpdoint URL. On the left menu, go to 'Browse Files', click your bucket name and choose 'Upload'.

Object Lock: Disable (unless you specifically want this).

Take a look at the Backblaze B2 Native Quick Start Guide and Backblaze B2 Quick Start: Using Python With the Backblaze S3 Compatible API to get started right away.Name the bucket (something unique across the Backblaze systems - for the purposes of this demo, I called mine 'testbits'). You can use the Backblaze B2 web console or the B2 Native API to access functionality, such as application key management and lifecycle rules, that is not covered by the S3 Compatible API. We generally recommend that developers use the S3 Compatible API when writing new applications and integrations, as it is supported by a wider range of SDKs and libraries, and many developers already have experience with Amazon S3. After enabling Backblazeī2 for your account, you will have access to your Application Key Id andĪpplication Key that let you call the APIs.īackblaze supports two different suites of APIs: S3 Compatible and B2 Native.
