Go to the DigitalOcean console ([link](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/)). 2. Navigate to **Manage** → **Spaces Object Storage**. Click **Create a Spaces Bucket** to create a new bucket.

3. On the bucket creation page, under **Choose a datacenter region**, select the region closest to your MikoPBX server. Choose **Standard Storage**. {% hint style="info" %} Remember your region name (**sgp1** in the screenshot below) — you will need it later when configuring MikoPBX. {% endhint %}

4. In the **Choose a unique Spaces Bucket name** field, enter a name of your choice for the bucket. Click **Subscribe & Create Bucket**.

5. Open the page of the newly created bucket by clicking its name in the **Buckets** section.

6. Go to the **Settings** tab.

7. Scroll down to the **Access Keys** section. Click **Create Access Key** to generate a new key pair.

8. Fill in the required parameters for the new key: * **Select access scope** — Limited Access. * **Buckets** — select the bucket you created earlier. * **Permissions** — Read/Write/Delete. * **Give this access key a name** — enter an arbitrary name to identify this key pair. Click **Create Access Key**.

Your key pair values (**Access Key ID** and **Secret Key**) will be displayed. Save these values — you will need them when configuring MikoPBX.

### Connecting to MikoPBX 1. Go to the **Maintenance** → **Storage** tab.

2. Open the **S3 Cloud Storage** tab and fill in the following fields: * **Automatically upload recordings to cloud storage** — enable the toggle. * **S3 Endpoint URL** — enter `https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com`, replacing `sgp1` with your region. * **S3 Region** — enter the region of your DigitalOcean bucket (e.g. `sgp1` in this guide). * **S3 Bucket Name** — enter the name of the bucket you created in DigitalOcean (e.g. `mikopbx-s3-storage` in this guide). * **Access Key** and **Secret Key** — paste the values obtained in the first part of this guide. Use the **Local Storage (S3 mode)** slider to configure how long recordings are kept locally before being deleted after upload to the cloud. {% hint style="info" %} A shorter local retention period frees up disk space faster. {% endhint %} Click **Save**.

After saving the settings, click **Test Connection**. If the connection is successful, you will see the message **"S3 connection successful"** and synchronization of call recordings will begin.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.mikopbx.com/mikopbx/english/manual/maintenance/storage/digitalocean.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
