Storage

The storage servers receive shares from the proxy and then store them. Two types of storage are available, and the choice is made in the configuration.

Disk (Default)

The shares are directly stored on the disk where the storage server runs.

S3

The shares are sent to an S3 instance. For this mode, three environment variables are required:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<id of the S3 access key>
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret key for the S3 instance>
• AWS_REGION=<region of the S3 instance>

These environment variables are from AWS but work even if the S3 instance is not an AWS instance.
