Connect S3 to pydiods1, cellsdata and personal after installing community edition

For first post, please answer the questions below!

Describe your issue in detail

I tried “moving” my default datasource (pydiods1) to a BackBlaze B2 storage bucket. Now, the datasource always shows the error {“Id”:“”,“Code”:0,“Detail”:“Cannot Stat Root: The specified key does not exist.”,“Status”:“”}, which (I assume) is because Cells tries to access a file that existed on the old datasource, but not on the new one. Also, I can not create new folders or files in the “Common Files” workspace.

What version of Cells are you using?

Pydio Cells Home Edition 4.4.11

What is the server OS? Database name/version? Browser name or mobile device description (if issue appears client-side)?

MariaDB Database
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
nginx Reverse Proxy
BackBlaze B2 Storage Bucket

What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already?

I tried uploading the files that were in pydiods1 on the local disk previously to BackBlaze, but Cells seems to not be able to access them correctly. I made sure that the API token used is correct and has all the necessary permissions set. I messed a bit with the pydio.json (e.g. deleted all “pydiods1” entries), but none of these things worked, so now I am just where I started at.

I would like to know if there is a way to transfer these three main folders to BackBlaze without needing to completely reinstall Cells, which would be cool, because I am in production. By the way: I have to move to BB because storage usage grew much more rapidly than I expected…

Thanks for your help & advice!

How did you move it to BB B2?

Hey, thanks for your reply! When creating the datasource for pydiods1 (with another name), I selected a custom data location (I think it says it creates a virtual folder there) and copied the files from my local disk to that location.
