Integrating S3 Browser with vStorage

To integrate the S3 Browser tool with vStorage, you can follow the instructions below:

1. Download the S3 Browser user tool here.

2. Open the S3 Browser application → Account → Add new account

   
3. Fill in the login information as follows:

• Display name: Display name of the account.

• Account type: Choose S3 Compatible Storage.

• REST Endpoint: Path to vstorage, hcm01.vstorage.vngcloud.vn (region HCM01 - Ho Chi Minh) or han01.vstorage.vngcloud.vn (Region HAN01 - Hanoi).

• Access Key ID & Secret Access Key: The key pair provided on the vStorage Portal.

4. Choose Use Secure transfer (SSL/TLS) because vStorage only supports encrypted channels (HTTPS, port 443) to ensure data security, and does not support unencrypted channels (HTTP, port 80).

5. Finally, click on the advanced settings part Advanced S3-Compatible Storage Settings in the bottom-left corner of the window.

• Signature version: vStorage supports both Signature V2 and Signature V4, but it is recommended to use Signature V4 because AWS S3 no longer supports Signature V2.

• Addressing model: vStorage supports both Path Style and Virtual hosted style. The difference between the two is the request path when sending it to the vstorage gateway. For path style, it is https://hcm01.vstorage.vngcloud.vn/v1/AUTH_{project_id}/{bucket}/{file}, while for Virtual hosted style, it will be https://{bucket}.hcm01.vstorage.vngcloud.vn/{file}.

• Choose Override storage region: Fill in the value of Default region = HCM01 or HAN01.

• Close -> Save changes

6. If the S3 Browser connects successfully, the result will look like this:
