I have a bucket set but it seems to be trying to use default? I use GarageHQ as a lightweight MinIO alternative. I’m on 3.6.0.beta1-dev ( ed6beea336 ) [2025-09-14 10:40:34] Removing tmp ‘/var/www/discourse/tmp/backups/default/2025-09-14-104012’ directory… [2025-09-14 10:40:34] Uploading archi…

Yeah. AWS broke the S3 library for lots of other services. Can't rebuild due to AWS SDK gem bump and new AWS Data Integrity Protections has some work-arounds. I created this aws-revert-template.yml to revert to an older version. I don’t know if it works anymore; my file is dated 2025-08-06T05:00:0…

Hmm, i’m not fully convinced the is the problem though [image] unless i’m mistaken i was on 3.6 for longer than 2 days, and yet i got a backup 2 days and 10 days ago.

yes I’m on the commit now, I wasn’t initially when I posted this issue, I updated to rule out a bug, I was on 3.5 when I posted this issue

[image] pfaffman: your bucket named “default”? no, as stated in the OP this is why I don’t believe it’s the same issue you are referring to, my bucket is specified , ive tried both in the UI settings of the backup section and via env vars in the yaml, it still tries to use default regardless …

So i created a bucket named “default” and it works as intended, so yes, it’s not correctly picking the bucket name i tell it. [image] So this seems like a bug in Discourse.

[image] Fma965: So this seems like a bug in Discourse. Except thousands of people and CDCK hosting would also likely be affected and they are not. It’s much more likely that you deleted or added a character to a line in your app.yml. You can do stuff like this: grep -i S3 /var/discourse/con…

nothing is wrong with my setup nothing was changed except the discourse update. Ive tried configuration in the yaml and configuration in the UI, the UI settings literally show it as “cyanlabs-community” and yet the backup still tries to save to “default” [Screenshot_2025-09-18-21-47-29-55_3aea4af5…

[image] Fma965: EXCEPTION: Bucket not found: default This though means the bucket is not there, can you try creating a brand new bucket and creds and see if uploading there works?

S3 (not AWS) backups stopped working, presumably since an update

perhaps someone with actual S3 could check to see if it’s correctly selecting a bucket? same for some other 3rd parties like backblaze, r2 etc?
