I found the problem, is that Oracle Object Storage, uses path style.
And Discourse doesnât give me the option to use path style, it wants to force me to use virtual host style.
I wish I could choose that.
Even the minio has to be configured to suit the virtual host style.

Considering that every major cloud provider supports virtual host style (even MinIO) we have no plans on adding support for the deprecated path style feature.

This isnât the first time I remember your stating that. Maybe add that to the OP and explicitly say that Oracle Object Storage isnât supported until they support virtual host style.

The above explanation is reasonable, but it should be made clearer that any provider that is not using the Virtual Host Style standard is not supported.
Despite having this in some points it is not very clear.
I had to do some testing to find out.

Which service did you try that did not work? Then we can add it to the list in the start post.

I tried with Oracle Object Storage
They are still using âpath styleâ and thatâs why it didnât work.

I just configured S3 backup using DigitalOcean Space. When I finished adding the information my * app.yml file and successfully running ./launcher rebuild app when I tried the rebake command, rake posts:rebake, I receive an error message that rake cannot be found.
Please help! I am stuck!

Before you enter the rake command youâd
./launcher enter app
You might do a rebuild html on a post from the UX first to make sure itâs working.

Thanks @pfaffman. I did run the command:
./launcher enter app
before I ran the rebake command.
You also said âYou might do a rebuild html on a post from the UX first to make sure itâs working.â
I donât know how to do this as I am new to Discourse. Would you mind providing me the steps to do this?

Since the guide here does not specify, after entering these details to app.yml, and running the necessary command, do I still need to configure the settings in Settings â File and Settings â Backup?

Hi Victor,
on your site, clicking on the three dots (the ellipsis) youâll find the wrench and there rebuild html

No. Putting the settings in env variables overrides the ability to see it change then in the ux

Thanks for your help.
I have successfully completed the S3 backup config (or so I think!). But when I run backup, it runs successfully.
However, my DigitalOcean Space bucket has no files in them!

All of those DISCOURSE*: x lines go further up in the file in the section that starts with env:, like right under the SMTP stuff.

Wao! Let me move the files now and test.
Should I also move the script below?
after_assets_precompile:
- exec:
cd: $home
cmd:
- sudo -E -u discourse bundle exec rake s3:upload_assets

That section is its own stanza so it doesnât matter where it goes (except in the middle of another one).

Thanks so much @pfaffman! I have just added those files in the relevant places and after rebuilding the container, my site is down displaying a blank page!
