Can't configure CORS configuration in Spaces Object Storage

Question

Recently I’ve just created a new Spaces Object Storage in sgp1 region, the problem is that I can’t find a way to configure CORS setting in this bucket. From the setting page to using awscil, s3cmd. It doesn’t seem to work.

Here is an example command:

aws s3api put-bucket-cors --bucket edu-ai-document-storage --cors-configuration file://cors.json --endpoint-url=https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com

and the errors:

aws: [ERROR]: An error occurred (NotImplemented) when calling the PutBucketCors operation: Functionality not implemented.

Additional error details: Resource: edu-ai-document-storage/

Also, in the Setting page of my bucket, unlike this tutorial from DO: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/configuring-digitalocean-spaces. My setting page doesn’t have a section for CORS and CDN. Maybe because I’ve choosen the Cold Storage option so that I can’t config CORS configuration?

Thank you for answering my question.

Heya, @danh23072004 Yeah, this is almost certainly because you picked Cold Storage. Cold Storage Spaces have a reduced feature set compared to regular Spaces, CORS and CDN aren’t available on them since they’re designed for infrequent access / archival, not serving content directly. If you need CORS (which it sounds like you do if you’re building something that accesses files from a browser), you’ll need to create a regular Spaces bucket instead. The CORS settings section will show up in the UI and the S3-compatible API calls will work as expected. Unfortunately, there’s no way to convert a Cold Storage bucket to a regular one, you’d have to create a new Space and move your objects over. Regards

Hi there, In addition to what’s already been mentioned, the key detail here is likely the Cold Storage option. Cold Storage Spaces have a reduced feature set, and based on the behavior you’re seeing, it doesn’t look like CORS configuration is supported there (either via the UI or the S3 API). The NotImplemented error from put-bucket-cors usually indicates that the feature isn’t available for that bucket type rather than a misconfiguration. The missing CORS/CDN section in the UI also points in the same direction. If your use case involves accessing files directly from a browser (which requires CORS), you’ll likely need to use a standard (non-cold) Space. That’s where: the CORS settings will appear in the UI S3-compatible CORS commands should work as expected I think that the usual approach is to create a new standard Space and migrate your data. If you want to be completely sure for your specific setup, it might be worth reaching out to support as well: https://do.co/support
