Once you’ve created your bucket in Wasabi, you’ll need to save the following details somewhere you can easily access them for use with cPanel:

• Bucket name: Must begin with lowercase letter or number.
• Region:
• Access Key ID:
• Secret Access Key: For security reasons, you will not see the Secret Access Key. Only enter the Secret Access Key when you create this destination, or when you change the Secret Access Key.

*Note: S3 Endpoint and region should be chosen based off your server’s device location.

This is the list of the regions and the service URLs for Wasabi:

Setting up Wasabi in cPanel

To set up Wasabi Storage with cPanel, just follow these steps:

1. First, log in as the root user in WHM and go to the backup config section:

   Home »Backup »Backup Configuration

   
   

2. Next, click the button labelled Create New Destination and fill in the form below with the backup information that was created in wasabi for the bucket information.

   
   

3. Once you have the details filled in, you should now save and validate the destination to confirm all information is valid and working.
   • If it’s valid, you can enable the backup and the next time it runs it will upload the backups to the wasabi bucket.
   • If not, review the steps above and confirm its setup correctly.

*Note: To force cPanel backup to run, you can use the following command in ssh.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup –force

Troubleshooting

If you believe your firewall could be causing issues, review the steps below for CSF hostname whitelisting.

For CSF and DNS/IP whitelisting, use the following steps to add to CSF:

1. Open the file /etc/csf/csf.dyndns and add the hostname of the region you are connecting to. You can also whitelist all regions using the list below:

   s3.wasabisys.com
   s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com
   s3.us-east-2.wasabisys.com
   s3.us-central-1.wasabisys.com
   s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com
   s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com
   s3.nl-1.wasabisys.com
   s3.eu-west-1.wasabisys.com
   s3.uk-1.wasabisys.com
   s3.eu-west-2.wasabisys.com
   s3.fr-1.wasabisys.com
   s3.ap-northeast-1.wasabisys.com
   s3.ap-northeast-2.wasabisys.com

2. Open the file /etc/csf/csf.conf and set DYNDNS = “300” (which would check for IP updates every 5 minutes).
   
   *Note: If you want the activity of the IP also ignored, set
   DYNDNS_IGNORE = “1”

3. When you’ve finished making your changes, restart the firewall

1. First, go to https://console.wasabisys.com/#/login and log in.
2. When you log in to Wasabi the interface will look like the screenshot below. Although you have many options, the 1st thing you have to do is create a bucket to use the storage.

   

3. During creation you have to name your Bucket and Select a Region.

   

   1. The bucket has to be unique to avoid errors, so enter a unique name in the Bucket Name field shown above.
      
   2. Select the closest region to the server that will be using it or ask the client via ticket if you are unsure.
      • us-west-1 – Oregon
      • ap-northeast-1 – Toykyo
      • ap-northeast-2 – Osaka
      • eu-central-1 – Amsterdam
      • eu-west-1 – London
      • eu-west-2 – Paris
      • us-central-1 – Plano, Texas
      • us-east-1 – North Virginia
      • us-east-2 – North Virginia
4. Next, in Step 2, Set Properties, leave all options off, and click Next.

   

5. Step 3 is to Review your selections. If everything looks correct, click Create Bucket.

   
   

6. After creating your new bucket it will look like this:

   
   

7. Now, click the bucket name and go to Policies.
   
8. You can look at Sample Policies on the left.

   

9. Setup a policy for your bucket. This is Full Access:

   

   1. Give permission to the bucket:
      {
      “Version”: “2012-10-17”,
      “Statement”: [
      {
      “Effect”: “Allow”,
      “Action”: “s3:“,
      “Resource”: ““
      }
      ]
      }
10. Once your permissions are set, you’ve successfully set up storage in Wasabi.

Disabling / Enabling Public Access

To ensure that your new bucket has public access disabled or to enable public access for buckets you want to have accessible to anyone:

1. On your Bucket List, click on the 3 vertical dots to the right of your bucket under the Actions column, and select Settings.

   

2. On the Properties panel, find the option for Public Access Override and open the drop-down menu.
3. Click the switch labelled Turn on override. This will override the bucket’s policies to allow for the enabling/disabling of public access.

   *Note: To undo and return the bucket to its default policy, click the switch again to Turn off override.

4. Once override is enabled, click the radial buttons below to either Enable Public Access or Disable Public Access depending on your desired outcome.
5. Once you’ve finished, return to your Bucket List. You should now see the status under the Public Access column listed as either Enabled or Disabled, depending on your selection.

Now that your bucket is created and your policies are set, the next step is to set Wasabi up on your server.

Wasabi Explorer is a free app that enables you to share files between your Windows host and the Wasabi hot cloud storage service. This app is a version of CloudBerry Explorer from MSP360 that has been customized for use with Wasabi hot cloud storage.

Wasabi Explorer’s features include:

• Familiar Windows File Explorer-like user interface
• Compression and encryption
• Ability to access multiple Wasabi storage regions
• Upload rules
• Header editing
• Multi-part uploads

*Note: if you want an app that lets you not only share Wasabi files with your Windows host but also mount your Wasabi buckets as a disk volume on your Windows host, you may wish to consider CloudBerry Drive, a paid app from CloudBerry Lab / MSP360.

S3FS (fuse) is certified for use with Wasabi. To use S3FS with Wasabi, please follow the command syntax example below. This tutorial may also be helpful.

Setup Access Key

To configure S3FS, you will need both the access key and secret key of your s3 AWS account.

1. First, replace the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY shown below with your actual Wasabi access key and secret key values.

   $ vi /etc/passwd-s3fs AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
   

2. Next, make sure that the file has the proper permissions using:

   1$ chmod 600 /etc/passwd-s3fs

Mounting an S3 Bucket

To mount s3fs, just run the command listed below:

1s3fs storage5555 /s3mnt -o passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs -o url=https://s3.wasabisys.com

You can also mount Wasabi via /etc/fstab by adding the following line:

1s3fs#storage5555 /s3mnt fuse _netdev,allow_other,use_cache=/cache,url=https://s3.wasabisys.com 0 0

You should now be able to use the mounted Wasabi Cloud Storage.

*Note: this example discusses the use of Wasabi’s us-east-1 storage region. To use other Wasabi storage regions, please use the appropriate Wasabi service URL as described in this article.
