EXC

Object Storage (Buckets)

Excloud Object Storage gives you S3-compatible buckets at https://<org-id>.buckets.excloud.in. Anything that speaks the S3 protocol — aws s3, MinIO mc, rclone, boto3, the AWS SDKs — works against it without code changes.

There are two surfaces:

SurfaceEndpointAuthUse for
Control planehttps://buckets.excloud.in/v1/...Excloud bearer tokenCreating buckets, rotating access keys, listing usage
S3 data planehttps://<org-id>.buckets.excloud.inAWS SigV4 with an access keyUploading, downloading, listing objects

S3 CompatibilityEndpoint URL, signature version, what’s supported
Access KeysCreate, rotate, revoke S3 access keys

Create your first bucket

exc buckets create my-bucket
exc buckets keys create laptop

keys create prints the secret access key once. Store it immediately — you cannot retrieve it again.

aws --endpoint-url https://<org-id>.buckets.excloud.in \
  s3 cp ./photo.jpg s3://my-bucket/photo.jpg

The <org-id> is shown in exc me and in exc buckets list.

Console

The browser console covers the common bucket workflow:

  1. Open console.excloud.dev/console/buckets.
  2. Click New bucket or Create bucket.
  3. Enter the bucket name and choose whether it should be public.
  4. Use S3 access keys to create or rotate keys for AWS-compatible tools.
  5. Open a bucket to browse objects, upload files, or create signed share links.

CLI cheatsheet

exc buckets create my-bucket                          # add --public to make it world-readable
exc buckets list                                      # or `exc buckets ls`
exc buckets get    my-bucket
exc buckets update my-bucket --public false
exc buckets delete my-bucket
exc buckets usage                                     # totals across the org

# Objects (bucket + key are positional)
exc buckets objects upload   my-bucket ./app.tgz --key app.tgz
exc buckets objects download my-bucket app.tgz --output ./app.tgz
exc buckets objects list     my-bucket logs/
exc buckets objects presign  my-bucket app.tgz --ttl 3600
exc buckets objects share    my-bucket app.tgz --ttl 3600
exc buckets objects sync     ./public  my-bucket/site/
exc buckets objects delete   my-bucket app.tgz

# Keys
exc buckets keys list
exc buckets keys create    automation                  # secret returned once
exc buckets keys delete    AKIA...
exc buckets keys configure AKIA... --profile excloud   # write an ~/.aws/config profile
