Create

Use this page when you want to create a new bucket with the AWS CLI or rclone.

Before you start​

Make sure you already have:

  • the service endpoint URL
  • the correct region
  • an access key and secret key configured in your tool

If you still need these values, check Keys and endpoint.

Example variables​

Replace the placeholders below with the values for your service.

export S3_ENDPOINT="https://<your-endpoint>"
export S3_REGION="<your-region>"
export AWS_PROFILE="<your-aws-cli-profile>"
export RCLONE_REMOTE="<your-rclone-remote>"
export BUCKET_NAME="<your-bucket-name>"
tip

Bucket name

Choose a clear bucket name that matches your application, environment, or team naming standard.

Create a bucket with AWS CLI​

aws s3 mb s3://$BUCKET_NAME \
  --endpoint-url "$S3_ENDPOINT" \
  --region "$S3_REGION" \
  --profile "$AWS_PROFILE"

After that, you can confirm the bucket was created by listing your buckets.

aws s3 ls \
  --endpoint-url "$S3_ENDPOINT" \
  --region "$S3_REGION" \
  --profile "$AWS_PROFILE"

Create a bucket with rclone​

rclone mkdir ${RCLONE_REMOTE}:$BUCKET_NAME

Then confirm it appears in the bucket list.

rclone lsd ${RCLONE_REMOTE}:

If bucket creation fails​

Check these points:

  • the endpoint URL is correct
  • the region matches your service
  • the profile or remote is using the expected credentials
  • the bucket name is accepted by the service

If the command keeps failing and the portal does not make the reason clear, open a support ticket.
