AWS S3 -​

  • Step 1 : Create a S3 bucket
    • Login to AWS console
    • Navigate to S3 under services
    • Hit "Create Bucket" button on upper right corner
    • Remove the check from "block all public access" checkbox(we need this in order to provide access to not-logged in users after OTP verification)
    • Set bucket versioning and tags as per your requirements
    • Hit "Create bucket" button
  • Step 2 : Create IAM user and provide access to AWS bucket
    • Search for "IAM" on the search bar in AWS console
    • On IAM dashboard, click the number of users(count) under IAM resources table
    • Hit "create user" button on the upper right corner of the page
    • Enter the user name & click next
    • Click create policy, search for S3 and provide the Read, Write & list permissions
    • Click next and click "Create user"
  • Step 3 : Generate Credentials
  • Go to IAM/Users in AWS console
  • Hit the hyperlink for the user created in the previous step
  • Click the "Security credentials" tab
  • Scroll down to "Access keys" and hit "Create access key"
  • In the next step select "Application running outside AWS"
  • Add a description tag if needed & hit "Create access key"
  • In the next step you will see "Access key" and "Secret Access key". Copy both the values.
  • Set the value of "Access key" to "DO_ACCESS_KEY_ID" environment variable
  • Set the value of "Secret Access key" to "DO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" environment variable
  • Step 3 : Copy bucket credentials
    • Visit "Amazon S3 -> Buckets" in aws console
    • Click the bucket created in previous steps & visit the properties tab
    • Under "Bucket overview" you will find the value of AWS region(for ex. ap-south-1). Set that value to env variable "DO_REGION"
    • You can create the value for "DO_ENDPOINT" env variable by appending the region value to amazonaws.com (for ex. s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com)
    • You can create the value for "DO_BASEURL" by adding the bucketname in front of the endpoint value(for ex. https://bucketname.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com)
