Regardless of whether the container has public access enabled or disabled, Fog will
use the TempURL method to grant access to LFS objects. If you see errors in logs referencing
instantiating storage with a `temp-url-key`, ensure that you have set the key properly
on the Rackspace API and in `gitlab.rb`. You can verify the value of the key Rackspace
has set by sending a GET request with token header to the service access endpoint URL
and comparing the output of the returned headers.

## Options
Object storage options that GitLab has tested, or is aware of customers using include:
GitLab has been tested on a number of object storage providers:
- SaaS/Cloud solutions such as [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/), [Google cloud storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage).
- [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/)
- [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage)
- [Digital Ocean Spaces](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/spaces)
- [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure](https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Object/Tasks/s3compatibleapi.htm)
- [Openstack Swift](https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/s3_compat.html)
- On-premises hardware and appliances from various storage vendors.
- MinIO. We have [a guide to deploying this](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/advanced/external-object-storage/minio.html) within our Helm Chart documentation.
## Configuration guides
For configuring GitLab to use Object Storage refer to the following guides:
1. Configure [object storage for backups](../raketasks/backup_restore.md#uploading-backups-to-a-remote-cloud-storage).
1. Configure [object storage for job artifacts](job_artifacts.md#using-object-storage)
including [incremental logging](job_logs.md#new-incremental-logging-architecture).
1. Configure [object storage for LFS objects](lfs/index.md#storing-lfs-objects-in-remote-object-storage).
1. Configure [object storage for uploads](uploads.md#using-object-storage-core-only).
1. Configure [object storage for merge request diffs](merge_request_diffs.md#using-object-storage).
1. Configure [object storage for Container Registry](packages/container_registry.md#container-registry-storage-driver) (optional feature).
1. Configure [object storage for Mattermost](https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#file-storage) (optional feature).
1. Configure [object storage for packages](packages/index.md#using-object-storage) (optional feature). **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
1. Configure [object storage for Dependency Proxy](packages/dependency_proxy.md#using-object-storage) (optional feature). **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
1. Configure [object storage for Pseudonymizer](pseudonymizer.md#configuration) (optional feature). **(ULTIMATE ONLY)**
1. Configure [object storage for autoscale Runner caching](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/autoscale.html#distributed-runners-caching) (optional - for improved performance).
1. Configure [object storage for Terraform state files](terraform_state.md#using-object-storage-core-only)
There are two ways of specifying object storage configuration in GitLab:
- [Consolidated form](#consolidated-object-storage-configuration): A single credential is
shared by all supported object types.
- [Storage-specific form](#storage-specific-configuration): Every object defines its
own object storage [connection and configuration](#connection-settings).
For more information on the differences and to transition from one form to another, see
[Transition to consolidated form](#transition-to-consolidated-form).
### Consolidated object storage configuration
> Introduced in [GitLab 13.2](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/merge_requests/4368).
Using the consolidated object storage configuration has a number of advantages:
- It can simplify your GitLab configuration since the connection details are shared
across object types.
- It enables the use of [encrypted S3 buckets](#encrypted-s3-buckets).
- It [uploads files to S3 with proper `Content-MD5` headers](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse/-/issues/222).
NOTE: **Note:** Only AWS S3-compatible providers and Google are
supported at the moment since [direct upload
mode](../development/uploads.md#direct-upload) must be used. Background
upload is not supported in this mode. We recommend direct upload mode because
it does not require a shared folder, and [this setting may become the default](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/27331).
NOTE: **Note:** Consolidated object storage configuration cannot be used for
backups or Mattermost. See [the full table for a complete list](#storage-specific-configuration).
Most types of objects, such as CI artifacts, LFS files, upload
attachments, and so on can be saved in object storage by specifying a single
credential for object storage with multiple buckets. A [different bucket
for each type must be used](#use-separate-buckets).
When the consolidated form is:
- Used with an S3-compatible object storage, Workhorse uses its internal S3 client to
upload files.
- Not used with an S3-compatible object storage, Workhorse falls back to using
pre-signed URLs.
See the section on [ETag mismatch errors](#etag-mismatch) for more details.
**In Omnibus installations:**
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the following lines, substituting
the values you want:
```ruby
# Consolidated object storage configuration
gitlab_rails['object_store']['enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['object_store']['proxy_download'] = true
gitlab_rails['object_store']['connection'] = {
'provider' => 'AWS',
'region' => '<eu-central-1>',
'aws_access_key_id' => '<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>',
'aws_secret_access_key' => '<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>'
}
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['artifacts']['bucket'] = '<artifacts>'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['external_diffs']['bucket'] = '<external-diffs>'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['lfs']['bucket'] = '<lfs-objects>'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['uploads']['bucket'] = '<uploads>'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['packages']['bucket'] = '<packages>'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['dependency_proxy']['bucket'] = '<dependency-proxy>'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['terraform_state']['bucket'] = '<terraform-state>'
```
NOTE: For GitLab 9.4 or later, if you're using AWS IAM profiles, be sure to omit the
AWS access key and secret access key/value pairs. For example:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['object_store_connection'] = {
'provider' => 'AWS',
'region' => '<eu-central-1>',
'use_iam_profile' => true
}
```
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab](restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) for the changes to take effect.
**In installations from source:**
1. Edit `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml` and add or amend the following lines:
```yaml
object_store:
enabled: true
proxy_download: true
connection:
provider: AWS
aws_access_key_id: <AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>
aws_secret_access_key: <AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
region: <eu-central-1>
objects:
artifacts:
bucket: <artifacts>
external_diffs:
bucket: <external-diffs>
lfs:
bucket: <lfs-objects>
uploads:
bucket: <uploads>
packages:
bucket: <packages>
dependency_proxy:
bucket: <dependency_proxy>
terraform_state:
bucket: <terraform>
```
1. Edit `/home/git/gitlab-workhorse/config.toml` and add or amend the following lines:
```toml
[object_storage]
enabled = true
provider = "AWS"
[object_storage.s3]
aws_access_key_id = "<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>"
aws_secret_access_key = "<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>"
```
1. Save the file and [restart GitLab](restart_gitlab.md#installations-from-source) for the changes to take effect.
#### Common parameters
In the consolidated configuration, the `object_store` section defines a
common set of parameters. Here we use the YAML from the source
installation because it's easier to see the inheritance:
```yaml
object_store:
enabled: true
proxy_download: true
connection:
provider: AWS
aws_access_key_id: <AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>
aws_secret_access_key: <AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
objects:
...
```
The Omnibus configuration maps directly to this:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['object_store']['enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['object_store']['proxy_download'] = true
gitlab_rails['object_store']['connection'] = {
'provider' => 'AWS',
'aws_access_key_id' => '<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
'aws_secret_access_key' => '<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>'
}
```
| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `enabled` | Enable/disable object storage |
| `proxy_download` | Set to `true` to [enable proxying all files served](#proxy-download). Option allows to reduce egress traffic as this allows clients to download directly from remote storage instead of proxying all data |
| `connection` | Various connection options described below |
| `objects` | [Object-specific configuration](#object-specific-configuration)
### Connection settings
Both consolidated configuration form and storage-specific configuration form must configure a connection. The following sections describe parameters that can be used
in the `connection` setting.
#### S3-compatible connection settings
The connection settings match those provided by [fog-aws](https://github.com/fog/fog-aws):
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| `provider` | Always `AWS` for compatible hosts | `AWS` |
| `aws_access_key_id` | AWS credentials, or compatible | |
| `aws_secret_access_key` | AWS credentials, or compatible | |
| `aws_signature_version` | AWS signature version to use. `2` or `4` are valid options. Digital Ocean Spaces and other providers may need `2`. | `4` |
| `enable_signature_v4_streaming` | Set to `true` to enable HTTP chunked transfers with [AWS v4 signatures](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sigv4-streaming.html). Oracle Cloud S3 needs this to be `false`. | `true` |
| `region` | AWS region | us-east-1 |
| `host` | S3 compatible host for when not using AWS, e.g. `localhost` or `storage.example.com`. HTTPS and port 443 is assumed. | `s3.amazonaws.com` |
| `endpoint` | Can be used when configuring an S3 compatible service such as [MinIO](https://min.io), by entering a URL such as `http://127.0.0.1:9000`. This takes precedence over `host`. | (optional) |
| `path_style` | Set to `true` to use `host/bucket_name/object` style paths instead of `bucket_name.host/object`. Leave as `false` for AWS S3. | `false` |
| `use_iam_profile` | Set to `true` to use IAM profile instead of access keys | `false`
#### Oracle Cloud S3 connection settings
Note that Oracle Cloud S3 must be sure to use the following settings:
| Setting | Value |
|---------|-------|
| `enable_signature_v4_streaming` | `false` |
| `path_style` | `true` |
If `enable_signature_v4_streaming` is set to `true`, you may see the
following error in `production.log`:
```plaintext
STREAMING-AWS4-HMAC-SHA256-PAYLOAD is not supported
```
#### Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
Here are the valid connection parameters for GCS:
| Setting | Description | example |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| `provider` | The provider name | `Google` |
| `google_project` | GCP project name | `gcp-project-12345` |
| `google_client_email` | The email address of the service account | `foo@gcp-project-12345.iam.gserviceaccount.com` |
| `google_json_key_location` | The JSON key path | `/path/to/gcp-project-12345-abcde.json` |
NOTE: **Note:**
The service account must have permission to access the bucket.
[See more](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/authentication)
##### Google example (consolidated form)
For Omnibus installations, this is an example of the `connection` setting:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['object_store']['connection'] = {
'provider' => 'Google',
'google_project' => '<GOOGLE PROJECT>',
'google_client_email' => '<GOOGLE CLIENT EMAIL>',
'google_json_key_location' => '<FILENAME>'
}
```
#### OpenStack-compatible connection settings
NOTE: **Note** This is not compatible with the consolidated object storage form.
OpenStack Swift is only supported with the storage-specific form. See the
[S3 settings](#s3-compatible-connection-settings) if you want to use the consolidated form.
While OpenStack Swift provides S3 compatibliity, some users may want to use the
[Swift API](https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/api/object_api_v1_overview.html).
Here are the valid connection settings below for the Swift API, provided by
[fog-openstack](https://github.com/fog/fog-openstack):
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| `provider` | Always `OpenStack` for compatible hosts | `OpenStack` |
| `openstack_username` | OpenStack username | |
| `openstack_api_key` | OpenStack API key | |
| `openstack_temp_url_key` | OpenStack key for generating temporary URLs | |
| `openstack_auth_url` | OpenStack authentication endpoint | |
| `openstack_region` | OpenStack region | |
| `openstack_tenant` | OpenStack tenant ID |
#### Rackspace Cloud Files
NOTE: **Note** This is not compatible with the consolidated object
storage form. Rackspace Cloud is only supported with the storage-specific form.
Here are the valid connection parameters for Rackspace Cloud, provided by
[fog-rackspace](https://github.com/fog/fog-rackspace/):
| Setting | Description | example |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| `provider` | The provider name | `Rackspace` |
| `rackspace_username` | The username of the Rackspace account with access to the container | `joe.smith` |
| `rackspace_api_key` | The API key of the Rackspace account with access to the container | `ABC123DEF456ABC123DEF456ABC123DE` |
| `rackspace_region` | The Rackspace storage region to use, a three letter code from the [list of service access endpoints](https://developer.rackspace.com/docs/cloud-files/v1/general-api-info/service-access/) | `iad` |
| `rackspace_temp_url_key` | The private key you have set in the Rackspace API for temporary URLs. Read more [here](https://developer.rackspace.com/docs/cloud-files/v1/use-cases/public-access-to-your-cloud-files-account/#tempurl) | `ABC123DEF456ABC123DEF456ABC123DE` |
NOTE: **Note:**
Regardless of whether the container has public access enabled or disabled, Fog will
use the TempURL method to grant access to LFS objects. If you see errors in logs referencing
instantiating storage with a `temp-url-key`, ensure that you have set the key properly
on the Rackspace API and in `gitlab.rb`. You can verify the value of the key Rackspace
has set by sending a GET request with token header to the service access endpoint URL
and comparing the output of the returned headers.
### Object-specific configuration
The following YAML shows how the `object_store` section defines
object-specific configuration block and how the `enabled` and
`proxy_download` flags can be overriden. The `bucket` is the only
required parameter within each type:
```yaml
object_store:
connection:
...
objects:
artifacts:
bucket: artifacts
proxy_download: false
external_diffs:
bucket: external-diffs
lfs:
bucket: lfs-objects
uploads:
bucket: uploads
packages:
bucket: packages
dependency_proxy:
enabled: false
bucket: dependency_proxy
terraform_state:
bucket: terraform
```
This maps to this Omnibus GitLab configuration:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['artifacts']['bucket'] = 'artifacts'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['artifacts']['proxy_download'] = false
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['external_diffs']['bucket'] = 'external-diffs'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['lfs']['bucket'] = 'lfs-objects'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['uploads']['bucket'] = 'uploads'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['packages']['bucket'] = 'packages'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['dependency_proxy']['enabled'] = false
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['dependency_proxy']['bucket'] = 'dependency-proxy'
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['terraform_state']['bucket'] = 'terraform-state'
```
This is the list of valid `objects` that can be used:
| Type | Description |
|--------------------|---------------|
| `artifacts` | [CI artifacts](job_artifacts.md) |
| `external_diffs` | [Merge request diffs](merge_request_diffs.md) |
| `uploads` | [User uploads](uploads.md) |
| `lfs` | [Git Large File Storage objects](lfs/index.md) |
| `packages` | [Project packages (e.g. PyPI, Maven, NuGet, etc.)](packages/index.md) |
| `dependency_proxy` | [GitLab Dependency Proxy](packages/dependency_proxy.md) |
| `terraform_state` | [Terraform state files](terraform_state.md) |
Within each object type, three parameters can be defined:
| Setting | Required? | Description |
|------------------|-----------|-------------|
| `bucket` | Yes | The bucket name for the object storage. |
| `enabled` | No | Overrides the common parameter |
| `proxy_download` | No | Overrides the common parameter |
#### Selectively disabling object storage
As seen above, object storage can be disabled for specific types by
setting the `enabled` flag to `false`. For example, to disable object
storage for CI artifacts:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['object_store']['objects']['artifacts']['enabled'] = false
```
A bucket is not needed if the feature is disabled entirely. For example,
no bucket is needed if CI artifacts are disabled with this setting:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['artifacts_enabled'] = false
```
### Transition to consolidated form
Prior to GitLab 13.2:
- Object storage configuration for all types of objects such as CI/CD artifacts, LFS
files, upload attachments, and so on had to be configured independently.
- Object store connection parameters such as passwords and endpoint URLs had to be
duplicated for each type.
For example, an Omnibus GitLab install might have the following configuration:
```ruby
# Original object storage configuration
gitlab_rails['artifacts_object_store_enabled'] = true

While this provides flexibility in that it makes it possible for GitLab
to store objects across different cloud providers, it also creates
additional complexity and unnecessary redundancy. Since both GitLab
Rails and Workhorse components need access to object storage, the
consolidated form avoids excessive duplication of credentials.
NOTE: **Note** The consolidated object storage configuration is **only** used if all
lines from the original form is omitted. To move to the consolidated form, remove the original configuration (for example, `artifacts_object_store_enabled`, `uploads_object_store_connection`, and so on.)
## Storage-specific configuration

supported by consolidated configuration form, refer to the following guides:

If you are seeing this ETag mismatch error with Amazon Web Services S3,
it's likely this is due to [encryption settings on your bucket](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTCommonResponseHeaders.html).
See the section on [using Amazon instance profiles](#using-amazon-instance-profiles) on how to fix this issue.
To fix this issue, you have two options:
- [Use the consolidated object configuration](#consolidated-object-storage-configuration).
- [Use Amazon instance profiles](#using-amazon-instance-profiles).

The first option is recommended for MinIO. Otherwise, the
[workaround for MinIO](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/charts/gitlab/-/issues/1564#note_244497658)
is to use the `--compat` parameter on the server.
We are working on a fix to the [GitLab Workhorse
component](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse/-/issues/222).
Without consolidated object store configuration or instance profiles enabled,
GitLab Workhorse will upload files to S3 using pre-signed URLs that do
not have a `Content-MD5` HTTP header computed for them. To ensure data
is not corrupted, Workhorse checks that the MD5 hash of the data sent
equals the ETag header returned from the S3 server. When encryption is
enabled, this is not the case, which causes Workhorse to report an `ETag
mismatch` error during an upload.
With the consolidated object configuration and instance profile, Workhorse has
S3 credentials so that it can compute the `Content-MD5` header. This
eliminates the need to compare ETag headers returned from the S3 server.

With instance profiles enabled, GitLab Workhorse uses an AWS S3 client
that properly computes and sends the `Content-MD5` header to the server,
which eliminates the need for comparing ETag headers. If the data is
corrupted in transit, the S3 server will reject the file.
When configured either with an instance profile or with the consolidated
object configuration, GitLab Workhorse properly uploads files to S3 buckets
that have [SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS encryption enabled by
