Storage ​

Files in nmrxiv are stored as objects and are S3 compatible which provides below three big benefits.

• Backup/redundancy - S3 and similar have built-in backups and redundancy
• Scaling - Savings files off-server becomes necessary in modern hosting, such as serverless or containerized environments, as well as in traditional load-balanced environments
• Disk usage - You won't need as much disk space when storing files in the cloud
• Features - S3 (and other clouds) have some great features, such as versioning support for files, lifecycle rules for deleting old files (or storing them in a cheaper way), deletion protection, and more

Configuration ​

There are just two place where the configuration needs to be done.

• Within your Object Storage or Amazon S3 you need to.

  • Create the bucket.
  • Create a service account to get Key/Secret Key.

• Within the nmrxiv you just need to configure below values in the .env file.
