iDrive e2 fails to load images

[thepaperpilot]

I'm using an s3 compatible api (iDrive e2) and images upload successfully but don't load at all. If I go to the URL directly I get an xml response saying its a SignatureDoesNotMatch error.

If this is non-trivial to fix, one workaround that should work is making the bucket public. However that gives me a separate endpoint that won't have write permissions (and ofc I'm not a fan of making my baby's images accessible without auth), and there's no documented way to use a different endpoint for uploading versus rendering pages.

Hm on the backend Baby Buddy uses https://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for file storage support. I don't see iDrive mentioned anywhere in their documentation or issues. Nor do I see anything about "S3 compatible" service support.

This the only potential relevant info I could find but seems pretty light... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71302380/using-non-aws-s3-storage-with-django

"s3 compatible" is a pretty common term when looking into object storage. Django may not mention it specifically but baby buddy does.

I'd already been including the scheme in the endpoint url since the docs said to, so that SO post didn't help me unfortunately.

Ha yes the documentation does say that I bet it’s never actually been tested… 😬

Does iDrive have a free tier I could fiddle with?

Yes, so long as you don't pay for an entire year, you get 10GB free. (pricing)
