And it worked :partying_face:
Step by step of what I did hoping to help others:

edited app.yml and added

  after_assets_precompile:
    - exec:        cd: $home
        cmd:          - sudo -E -u discourse bundle exec rake s3:upload_assets
          - sudo -E -u discourse bundle exec rake s3:expire_missing_assets

after hooks: (just after git clone pluginsā€¦)
and

  DISCOURSE_USE_S3: true
  DISCOURSE_S3_REGION: EU
  DISCOURSE_S3_ENDPOINT: https://contabostorage.com/bucketname
  DISCOURSE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID: accesskey
  DISCOURSE_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: secretaccesskey
  DISCOURSE_S3_CDN_URL: https://eu2.contabostorage.com/randomlettersthatcontaboaddstothelinks:bucketname
  DISCOURSE_S3_BUCKET: eu2
  DISCOURSE_BACKUP_LOCATION: s3
  DISCOURSE_S3_INSTALL_CORS_RULE: false

after the email settings
then Iā€™ve set the same values in discourse menu and enabled S3 uploads.
Rebuilt the app with

cd /var/discourse
sudo ./launcher rebuild app

then

./launcher enter app
rake uploads:migrate_to_s3

This takes a bit, in my case a few hours (80k files, 100GB)

When finished

rake posts:rebake_uncooked_posts
