DigitalOcean Spaces bucket

Words you’ll see

Bucket

A storage container for files at a storage provider, like a top-level folder in the cloud. Your app’s uploads go into it.

Access key ID and secret access key

A pair of values that works like a username and password for programs. The ID can be shown; the secret is shown once when you create it.

Endpoint

The web address Claspine uses to reach your storage provider, such as https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.

Region

The part of the world where the provider runs your service, such as us-east-1 (Virginia) or europe-west4 (Netherlands). Use the region where you set things up.

CORS

A browser safety setting on the bucket that says which websites may upload or download directly. Without it, browsers block uploads from your app.

Steps

1. In the DigitalOcean control panel, create a Space and note its region (for example nyc3).
2. Open Spaces Object Storage → Access Keys → Create Access Key.
3. Choose Limited access, select your Space and allow Read/Write/Delete.
4. Copy the access key and secret. The secret is shown only once.
5. In the Space’s Settings, add a CORS rule for your app’s web address.
6. Open the Claspine console, choose your project and go to File Storage.
7. Pick this provider in the list, then fill in the fields as shown in “What goes where in Claspine” below.
8. Click Save & test. Claspine writes one tiny test file into your bucket, reads it back and deletes it. A green result means everything is connected.

What goes where in Claspine

Keep it safe

• A limited-access key cannot reach your other Spaces.

Claspine stores the values encrypted, never shows them again in full, and never sends them to your app or SDK.
