DigitalOcean Spaces

How to connect your DigitalOcean Spaces to SimpleBackups

1. Create your DigitalOcean Spaces

• Sign in to your DigitalOcean account

• Create a new "Spaces" using the create menu at the top right

• Fill in the "Create Spaces" form

• Pick the region you need (think about GDPR rules, if you're an EU company)

• Select "Restrict File Listing"

• Pick a name you like and link it to your DigitalOcean project (doesn't really affect us)

• Your "Spaces" name, in this case "myacme-space"

• Your "Spaces" Region, in this case "San Francisco 2", which you can also see in your DO Space url

2. Create your DigitalOcean Credentials

• Click Manage Keys on the right hand side of the Spaces screen or directly go to https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens

• Next to Spaces access keys, click Generate New Key then add a name for your key and click the check mark.

• A new Key and Secret will be generated. The shorter one is the Access Key and the longer one is the Secret Key. Use these two values when adding your DigitalOcean Spaces account to SimpleBackups.

3. Connect your Space to SimpleBackups

• Log into SimpleBackups and head to the connect your storage page

• Pick "DigitalOcean Spaces" as storage provider and fill in the "Connect your storage" form with the information from step 1 and 2.

• Key: Key described in (step 2)

• Secret: Secret described in (step 2)

• Region: Spaces region described in (step 1)

• Bucket: Spaces name described in (step 1)

• Give your storage a name (usually we like to use the Spaces name) and click on "Save new storage".
