How to use Storadera's cheap 1 TB storage in n8n
Storadera offers 1 TB S3 object storage for all your data. How can we use this in workflow automations?
At a certain point in time your workflow automations need storage. 1 TB for around EUR 6 per month flatfee is pretty cheap and for that you also get versioning and object locking. On top of that, the interface of Storadera is really easy.
Getting the Storadera settings
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have two things from the Storadera dashboard:
bucket name;
access key;
access secret;
region URL.
Bucket name
You can find this name under the Buckets menu. We have blurred our name.
Access key
For S3 you always need an access key and a secret code.
You can find the code and key under the menu Keys.
Region URL
Currently Storadera has two regions, Central and East. Amsterdam is the location for Central.
It does not really matter which one you choose but we picked Amsterdam.
Configuring Storadera S3 in n8n
After getting the settings we can start experimenting with N8N (Zapier, Make etc.).
We made a small sample S3 workflow which gets results from a database, stores the results in a .csv on local disk, sends it to S3 and then lists the sent file.
We are not going to explain every step (let us know if you need a sample flow) but just the S3 settings needed.
The part that we are going to explain is the S3 upload module. especially the credentials.
Below is how you set it up.
This is slightly different from the Digital Ocean setup that we shared earlier. As you can see we include the region in the URL and also define it separately.
After setting up the credentials/connection you can further configure the S3 module in N8N.
You are now ready to push files into S3!
Sample flow needed?
We can create sample flows in N8N for a fixed fee of EUR 150. Contact us if you need help. We are Dutch but have a lot of international experience, we speak Dutch, German and Englisch.
