Thanks for the suggestion @Falco ! The appropriate section of my app.yml now looks like: ## DISCOURSE_USE_S3: true -- for CDN usage?! DISCOURSE_S3_REGION: “us-west-002” DISCOURSE_S3_INSTALL_CORS_RULE: false DISCOURSE_S3_CONFIGURE_TOMBSTONE_POLICY: false DISCOURSE_S3_ENDPOINT: https://s3…

I’ve also just tried with the above config but with DISCOURSE_USE_S3: true I have other buckets successfully being used to back up other services (note- that backup tool uses the B2 API.) Small update: removed the “all buckets” API key and now get an invalid key error, so my server is connecting …

It “just worked” the next day. :roll_eyes:
