Setup with NodeJS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To use the Contabo-Storage with NodeJS you can use the official aws-sdk (https:\/\/www.npmjs.com\/package\/aws-sdk<\/a>) for development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To authenticate against the contabo object storage you need configure some things to work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/\/ Import aws-sdk\nconst AWS = require("aws-sdk");\n\/\/ Enter copied access KEY and secret key here\nconst ID = "<ACCESS-KEY>";\nconst SECRET = "<SECRET-KEY>";<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The access and secret key can be taken from the Contabo Object Storage Web-Panel (Account > Security & Access > S3 Object Storage Credentials)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now let’s access S3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
const s3 = new AWS.S3({\n  accessKeyId: ID,\n  secretAccessKey: SECRET,\n  region: "",\n  endpoint: "https:\/\/eu2.contabostorage.com",\n  s3BucketEndpoint: true,\n  s3ForcePathStyle: true,\n});<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The endpoint can be seen in the Bucket URL in the Contabo Object Storage Web-Panel (Storage > Object Storage > Bucket URL). You should not add the bucket name in the endpoint value though (only the base URL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you only need to define the Bucket to access and can perform operations as usual with aws-S3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/\/ The name of the bucket that you want to access\nconst BUCKET_NAME = "test";\n\n\/\/ Example of uploading a file\nconst uploadFile = (fileName) => {\n  \/\/ Read content from the file\n  const fileContent = fs.readFileSync(fileName);\n\n  \/\/ Setting up S3 upload parameters\n  const params = {\n    Bucket: BUCKET_NAME,\n    Key: fileName, \/\/ File name you want to save as in S3\n    Body: fileContent,\n  };\n\n  \/\/ Uploading files to the bucket\n  s3.upload(params, function (err, data) {\n    if (err) {\n      throw err;\n    }\n    console.log(`File uploaded successfully. ${data.Location}`);\n  });\n};\n\n\/\/ Upload .\/test.txt to the bucket\nuploadFile("test.txt");<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
