Im Trying to add an S3 Compatible Object Storage from [scaleway.com](http://scaleway.com) - to my freshly installed and latest Cells Server on Cent OS 7.4 - but the S3 connection won’t work. I think that because the region is not specified. How do I specify it ? There is no option in the interface for it. scaleway endpoint: s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud region: nl-ams ---

Anyone ? How to connect the S3-Compatible Storage (from Scaleway) specifying the region Server: “Cells Home 1.2.5” on Cent OS 7.4. The standard way through web-interface **doesn’t allow to specify the region** , which might be the reason of ERROR “Cannot connect to storage” on backend. ---

Hi, could you tell me what fields did you use on the web interface to make the connection? ---

Thank you for replying. Please check the attached screenshots. My steps were : add the Data Source, then the workspace. When adding the workspace there is a loading icon constantly loading but the storage still remains unusable. Datasource add: ![data](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/1X/40cc277b68c567f69a86bc9ecbf378f7c5891e38.png) These errors I see on backend when I SSH to server and start the pydio ``` ERROR pydio.grpc.data.sync.*** Could not run {"error": "objects not reachable"} ERROR Could not find DataSource *** {"currentSources": ["cellsdata", "personal", "pydiods1"]} ERROR pydio.rest.tree Rest Error 404 {"error": "Could not find DataSource ***"} ``` Just to note: my Scaleway Bucket is accessible, Api key/secret is fine, connection to bucket works fine, \>\> checked it with direct connection aws-cli and other clients. ---

On Scaleway advised to connect through https … so I tried that, but tried to connect without too, and tried with specifying the port. My guess is that the unspecified region " nl-ams" is the problem. Here is an old Tutorial released by Scaleway for how to connect to old pydio server. But for “Pydio Cells” is not relevant… [https://www.scaleway.com/docs/deploy-pydio-with-object-storage/](https://www.scaleway.com/docs/deploy-pydio-with-object-storage/) On scaleway the connection details for object storage are: endpoint: s3.nl-ams.scw.cloud region: nl-ams Here is the workspace screen (selecting that Scaleway datasource): ![workspace](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/1X/e34172f9fac285b7eee326d99cbc0d2f9d6dcee2.png) ---

Hi, yeah your settings seem to be right, i"ll ask around if theres something possible to do, (maybe add the region manually). ---

Hi, sorry if did not attend your issue, for the moment i could not test with scaleway (we don’t have a bucket on that platform). ---

I’m experiencing the same issue. When I run netstat in the container there is no port 9001 active. ``` Error while listing {"error": "Get http://172.17.0.9:9001/mybucket/?location=: dial tcp 172.17.0.9:9001: connect: connection refused"} ``` ---
