Can I use this storage my wordpress text content and images? That means; share the file link (public) and embed it in my wordpress site- does this work with Linode object storage? Happy relaxation merry christmas and all the best for the new year 2024 to all here!

What does the linode-cli obj signurl do? I looked at the info with --help flag and I still don't understand what it does or how it works...

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

Creating a signed URL allows you to create a link to objects with limited permissions and a time limit to access them. This page has some example syntax on how you'd use it www.linode.com/docs/products/storage/object-storage/guides/linode-cli#create-a-signed-url-with-the-cli

Is there a way to download all objects to local machine for example having offline backup, using linode-cli.

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

Great question! We've put together a post in the #LinodeCommunity which gives you ways of backing up your Object Storage locally: www.linode.com/community/questions/19781/backing-up-object-storage-and-downloading-all-files-in-obj-bucket

[@Bustopher0822]

sorry for the noob question, but can this serve as offsite backups for a NAS?

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

Yes, our Object Storage is commonly used for offsite backups since it's highly available and durable. Meaning objects are replicated across servers so they’re always accessible even if one of the servers goes offline. More info here linode.com/products/object-storage/

@@AkamaiDeveloper thanks for the prompt reply…I actually started trying to set it up last night - can’t seem to make the QNAP connect to AWS S3 via Linode 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

​@@Bustopher0822 No problem. Our Object Storage is S3 compatible, so depending on your setup, you could try using something like rclone as referenced in this thread www.linode.com/community/questions/20477/linode-object-storage-bucket-and-rclone

Love Linode

Is data transfer between object storage to linode instance free?

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

Inbound transfer won't count against your network transfer quota, but outbound traffic does count. This means that data going from your Object Storage bucket to your Linode would be considered outbound transfer. You would only be charged an overage fee of $0.01/GB if you used more network transfer than you have available on your account. We explain this further in our Object Storage Pricing and Limitations guide: www.linode.com/docs/guides/pricing-and-limitations/#transfer-quotas

@@AkamaiDeveloper Guys I asked the same question in Linode Support around the same time and hasn't got any reply. It seems from now I'll ask my question here rather than the official Linode Support.

Can you go over uploading SSL/TLS certificate?

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

This guide will show you how: www.linode.com/docs/guides/enable-ssl-for-object-storage/

[@default_youtube_profile]

@@AkamaiDeveloper I believe I should be able to use certificate from letsencrypt! Or should I get new for the linode object storage?

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

​@@default_youtube_profile As long as your DNS is configured correctly, see here: www.linode.com/docs/guides/enable-ssl-for-object-storage/#configure-dns You should be able to upload your own certificate as shown in this step www.linode.com/docs/guides/enable-ssl-for-object-storage/#upload-your-ssl-certificate

[@bobsoto7131]

great presentation: Can you help me with how to unzip files in s3 Object storage on linode

[@AkamaiDeveloper]

Hey there, files in a bucket can't be compressed or decompressed in place, but you could write a script to decompress and upload or download and decompress as explained here stackoverflow.com/questions/1838699/how-can-i-decompress-a-gzip-stream-with-zlib
