After banging my head into a wall for 3 hours trying to make my AWS S3 configuration work with Discourse on AWS Lightsail instance I am of the strong belief that a simple straightforward tutorial on this would be nice.

It’s more a combination of how those settings are interacting with the bucket created or the CDN, etc. So it’s the Amazon side of things that needs some enlightening. I mean I get it, that’s not Dis…

I see. I haven’t set up an aws bucket in a while. That part can be more complicated, but it’s not what you posted how you did. But that too is pretty straight forward, you paste the stuff in and then if you have errors you can address them. [immagine] Jim_Starkweather: It’s not really the “Fil…

Sorry I said I manually uploaded that test file. Here is the setup page for a bucket. [Screenshot 2025-12-01 162336] [Screenshot 2025-12-01 162232] [Screenshot 2025-12-01 162300] There is no specific user creation for keys and secrets, or, on the subsequent pages either. [image] [image]
