Question
Issues connecting Mastodon droplet to spaces

Asked by Jonathan Painter
I’m new at this, and I’ve been going around in circles trying to setup a mastodon droplet to use a digitalocean space.
(As an aside, it would be helpful to have a DO tutorial on this… everything I’ve found online seems dated and they all disagree with each other.)
At the moment I have my env.production file set like this:
S3_ENABLED=true
S3_PROTOCOL=https
S3_BUCKET=bucketname
S3_HOSTNAME=nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com S3_ENDPOINT=https://bucketname.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxxxxxxxxx S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY S3_ALIAS_HOST=images.mysite.com S3_REGION=nyc.3
“bucketname” is the name of my space. I’ve scrambled the access key and secret, and changed the website url to a generic.
I created a let’s encrypt certificate for the subdomain “images.”
At the moment there is no avatar or header, and I can’t upload new ones. I just get the elephant pounding on the keyboard when I try.
If I right click on my avatar and open it in a new tab I get “AccessDeniedbucketnamestx000000000000173315c3a-00636c3b7b-3f2ad568-nyc3c3f2ad568-nyc3c-nyc3-zg03”
I’ve tried using the edge endpoint as well.
I’m clearly missing something.

Hi there,
I believe that your
S3_ENDPOINTvariable needs to be changed to:The complete config should look as follows:
Let me know how it goes.
Best,

I am having a similar problem. I got the spaces files to load correctly thanks to above. Now how do I point the resources to the CDN nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com?
CDN_HOST? I tried and the site refused to load.
