# Connecting Wasabi S3 Storage ### Creating a Bucket and Access Keys 1. Go to the Wasabi console ([link](https://console.wasabisys.com/)). 2. In the left menu, select **"Buckets"** and click **"Create Bucket"**.

3. On the bucket creation page, specify: * **Bucket Name** — enter any unique name for the bucket (e.g., `mikopbx-s3-storage`). * **Region** — select the region closest to your MikoPBX server. {% hint style="info" %} **Remember your region name** (e.g., `ap-southeast-1`), as you will need it when configuring MikoPBX. {% endhint %} Click **"Create Bucket"**.

4. After creating the bucket, you need to create an access policy. Go to **"Policies"** in the left menu and click **"Create Policy"**.

5. Enter a name for the policy (**Policy Name**) and a description for future identification (**Description**). In the **"Policy Editor"** field, paste the following set of rules: ```json { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:ListBucket" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR-BUCKET-NAME", "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR-BUCKET-NAME/*" ] } ] } ``` {% hint style="info" %} Replace "YOUR-BUCKET-NAME" with the name of the bucket you created earlier (e.g., `mikopbx-s3-storage` in this guide). {% endhint %}

6. Go to **"Users"** in the left menu (under "Users & Groups") and click **"Create User"**.

7. On the first step **"Details"**, fill in the following parameters: * **UserName** — enter any username (e.g., `mikopbx-user`). * **Type of Access** — check only **"Programmatic (create API keys)"**. * **Require MFA** — leave disabled. Click **"Next"**.

8. On the **Groups** step — skip it and click **"Next"**.

9. On the **Policies** step — select the policy you created earlier (e.g., `mikopbx-access` in this guide) and click **"Next"**.

10. On the **Review** step, verify the parameters and click **"Create User"**.

After the user is created, the **Access Key** and **Secret Key** will be displayed. **Save these values — you will need them to configure MikoPBX.** The Secret Key is shown only once.

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

2. Switch to the **"S3 Cloud Storage"** tab and fill in the following fields: * **Automatically upload recordings to cloud storage** — enable the toggle. * **S3 endpoint URL** — enter the endpoint for your region from the table below.\ For example, for region `eu-central-1`: `https://s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com` * **S3 region** — specify the region of your Wasabi bucket (e.g., `eu-central-1`). * **S3 bucket Name** — specify the name of the bucket created in Wasabi (e.g., `mikopbx-s3-storage`). * **Access Key** and **Secret Key** — paste the values obtained when creating the Access Key. * Configure the **"Local storage (S3 mode)"** slider — select how long recordings will be stored locally before being deleted after upload to the cloud. Click **"Save"**.
