I don’t know anything about Qiniu Cloud or if their S3 storage is supported, but you will need an access key and token (I believe they are generated in your Qinui Cloud console).

## S3 storage
  DISCOURSE_USE_S3: true
  DISCOURSE_S3_REGION: whatever
  DISCOURSE_S3_ENDPOINT: http://s3-ap-southeast-1.qiniucs.com
  DISCOURSE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID: *************
  DISCOURSE_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: *****************
  DISCOURSE_S3_CDN_URL: http://qiniu.pengfeima.cn
  DISCOURSE_S3_BUCKET: qiniu-s3
  DISCOURSE_S3_BACKUP_BUCKET: qiniu-s3/backups
  DISCOURSE_BACKUP_LOCATION: s3
