@DownPW I use Backblaze for a couple of sites and since I haven't exceeded the free 10GB of storage, I haven't paid anything over the last year. In your case, you will have to pay for the extra 7GB of storage, but as I mentioned earlier that's less than 10 cents a month.

In terms of development, none should be required. The nice thing about using storage based on a industry standard like S3 is that it "just works" across all vendors. Add the S3 plugin, set your keys and you're good to go. All uploads will be saved to your bucket.

Another nice benefit is full data portability. I will be moving my storage to Cloudflare to consolidate my assets storage as mentioned in the other post. It's a very simple process using a tool like rclone and a simple DNS change to point to my new bucket(s)

@razibal

first 10GB will free.

No ACP configuration.tpl to config the plugin

I haven't tried using the S3 plugin for NodeBB, but my Mastodon instance uses S3 interface via Digital Ocean Spaces.

It seems rather expensive, though I might get rid of it altogether, especially compared to NodeBB which you can host for a flat $6/mo

[DownPW]

Apparently It doesn't work on V3.. .Or did I miss something

You preach for your parish, normal.

I will try to modify the plugin for imgBB.

Imgur suck a lot now (ban IP, etc..)

[phenomlab]

@DownPW newsflash.... Imgur always sucked 🤭

[DownPW]

haha yes

[brazzerstop]

@DownPW Try this plugin - https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17129/nodebb-plugin-storj-upload-storj-upload

[razibal]

@brazzerstop Very nice, and Storj includes 25GB free so that should cover all of @DownPW's needs.

@DownPW Don't forget to set a DNS record for your bucket and use that when setting up the plugin. This will ensure that you can change to a different storage provider in the future (if you ever need to).

@razibal

I have uninstalled the s3 plugin because he don't work for me on V3 (I haven't ACP Configuration panel for setting up the plugin)

[razibal]

@julian True enough, but that same $6/mo NodeBB instance should be able to accomodate more users if all assets were to be served from an S3 bucket. And, it wouldn't add anything to the cost either.

[DownPW]

@razibal

Did you manage to make the plugin work on V3 ?

[razibal]

@DownPW You should use the Storj plugin as linked by @brazzerstop

That is also an S3 plugin, in this case for 3.x

An S3 bucket is an S3 bucket regardless of the storage vendor.

@abd32 Because it doesn't work on v3

It seems indeed, or so I missed something (if someone can confirm)
It would be interesting if this Storj plugin works for other providers too

Confirmed There are no settings in the ACP in v3.
