Primary Nextcloud storage with Amazon S3

🚧 Installation
1

I have an existing Nextcloud server (version 10) running on an AWS EC2 instance with 1.5GB of files on the filesystem. I don’t want to host the files here but instead host them solely on an S3 bucket.

I have installed the External Storage plugin which connected OK but only created a sub-folder which synced OK. I have read other forum posts here but they haven’t really explained how to achieve what I need. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Side question: With the host name variable in the configuration, is it possible to select an internal domain (or IP address) rather than a public domain in an effort to avert additional bandwidth costs?

Thanks,
Dubby

This was an exclusive feature in OC but NC rewrote an open source version which is used since NC 11 (https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/768):

Years of searching… now I have a solution, :grinning:

OK, thank you for this. I’ll have a read over the net few days.
