S3 File Storage Add-on - Setup Guide

With this add-on, you can easily integrate Amazon S3 or compatible services like MinIO as a file storage system in Concrete CMS. Uploading, managing, and retrieving files works just like with the integrated file manager.

Setup Steps

1. Go to the Dashboard:
   System & Settings > Files > File Storage Locations

2. Click "Choose S3 File Storage" and then click "Go" under "Choose Type".

3. Fill out the form:

   • Name: A custom name for this storage location.
   • Bucket: The name of your S3 bucket.
   • Region: The region where your bucket is located (e.g., eu-central-1).
   • Access Key & Secret: Your AWS credentials or the credentials of a compatible IAM user.

4. Optionally, you can also specify:

   • Custom Endpoint: If you're using a non-Amazon S3 service like MinIO, enter the appropriate endpoint here (e.g., https://localhost:9000). Leave this field empty if using Amazon AWS S3.
   • Public Base URL: If you're using a CDN like CloudFront, you can enter the public URL where files will be served (e.g., https://cdn.example.com).

5. Save the settings.

Done!

Now you can use your S3 bucket directly within the Concrete CMS File Manager for uploading, viewing, and managing your files.
