Hi, I’m facing a strange issue, regarding to: S3 (DigitalOcean), Assets (over S3) and CDN Endpoint. Description of the Problem: In the case of an error, I’m only seeing the loading animation, and the errors are displayed as shown in the image below: This is the error sceme: / CDN Endpoint “normal” Endpoint DISCOURSE_S3_BUCKET SET :x: Pic1 :white_check_mark: DISCOURSE_S3_BUCKET NOT SET :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark: CDN Endpoint: https:// .fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com “normal” Endpoint: https:// .fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com [Pic1] Current Configuration: DISCOURSE_USE_S3: true DISCOURSE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID: DISCOURSE_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: DISCOURSE_S3_ENDPOINT: https://fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com DISCOURSE_S3_CDN_URL: https:// .fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com #DISCOURSE_S3_BUCKET: ' ' # for assets DISCOURSE_S3_UPLOAD_BUCKET: ' ' DISCOURSE_S3_REGION: fra1 DISCOURSE_BACKUP_LOCATION: s3 DISCOURSE_S3_BACKUP_BUCKET: ' /backups ' DISCOURSE_S3_INSTALL_CORS_RULE: false I have also set the following hook (if I use the DISCOURSE_S3_BUCKET variable): hooks: after_assets_precompile: - exec: cd: $home cmd: - sudo -E -u discourse bundle exec rake s3:upload_assets I only encounter the error with the ‘right’ combination of configs. Any Ideas? I can also provide more information if needed.

You need a different CDN. Bunny.net is easy. [image]Configure an S3 compatible object storage provider for uploads Only problem is that their CDN offering is awfully broken , so you need to use a different CDN for the files

I agree that Bunny works well and is easy to configure. I changed from Stackpath (Their CDN price has tripled last year :scream_cat:) to Bunny on my forum recently. As a bonus, it was also beneficial for a Chinese user: [image] I changed the forum's CDN Forum Feedback I live in China. Actually I had to use VPN to view the pictures before (I can view the site without a VPN, but also without pictures). Now not only I have direct access to them, they are also blazingly fast!

Thank you for the suggestion! I’m part of an open source project and the traffic at the moment wouldn’t justify using a different CDN :sweat_smile:. The reason we’re using DigitalOcean is that they have a free sponsorship program for open source projects. The thing is: It’s now kind of working with DO (pictures and uploaded stuff get’s syncronized). I set the DISCOURSE_S3_UPLOAD_BUCKET, but not the DISCOURSE_S3_BUCKET. So can you explain “awfully broken” a bit more? The annoing thing is: commands like rake uploads:s3_migration_status do not work, because they rely on DISCOURSE_S3_BUCKET I can’t use the CDN for assets
