Problems install the AWS S3 Plugin

Developer help
1

I’m trying to install the following AWS S3 plugin for ghost GitHub - spanishdict/ghost-s3-compat: Read and write images from S3 in the Ghost blogging platfrom. I’m using the latest version of ghost. I added to the following to config.production.json

  "storage": {
    "active": "ghost-s3",
    "ghost-s3": {
      "accessKeyId": "****",
      "secretAccessKey": "****",
      "bucket": "test-bucket",
      "region": "us-west-2"
    }
  },

under content/storage there is directory called ghost-s3-compat as directed by the instructions.

then I get the following error:

Unable to find storage adapter ghost-s3 in ,/var/lib/ghost/content/adapters/,/var/lib/ghost/versions/3.41.5/core/server/adapters/.

Okay, not sure why it’s not finding it but fine, let’s install it as instructed, I’m putting the library now in both content/storage and content/adapters/

ghost_1  | 'node_modules/ghost-s3-compat/.jshintrc' -> 'content/storage/ghost-s3-compat/ghost-s3-compat/.jshintrc'
ghost_1  | 'node_modules/ghost-s3-compat/.npmignore' -> 'content/storage/ghost-s3-compat/ghost-s3-compat/.npmignore'

ghost_1  | 'node_modules/ghost-s3-compat/index.js' -> 'content/adapters/ghost-s3-compat/index.js'
ghost_1  | 'node_modules/ghost-s3-compat/package.json' -> 'content/adapters/ghost-s3-compat/package.json'

I also tried to configure the app via ENV variables instead.

storage__active=ghost-s3
storage__ghost-s3__accessKeyId=
storage__ghost-s3__secretAccessKey=
storage__ghost-s3__region=us-west-2
storage__ghost-s3__bucket=testing-bucket

Neither of them worked.

On the other hand if I try to use the GCS plugin. I installed the plugin to the same location and it works fine. I feel like I’m missing something.

Any help is appreciated.

Also, doing this on the docker image if that makes any difference on the answer.

the same with me, I lose 1 day for this issue. After that, I try gcs in the docker file. It works oke

Yeah GCS works great but still was hoping to get s3 support figured out. :frowning:

Maybe just update the documentation saying S3 isn’t supported if that’s the case?
