AWS S3

Prerequisites

An AWS account with an S3 bucket created.

Step 1: Create IAM Credentials

Create an IAM user with a policy granting access to your bucket:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": ["s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject", "s3:ListBucket"],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name",
        "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name/*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Step 2: Configure in TorrenCloud

1. Go to Storage → S3
2. Fill in the connection details:
   • Endpoint: https://s3.amazonaws.com (or your region endpoint)
   • Access Key ID: from IAM
   • Secret Access Key: from IAM
   • Bucket Name: your S3 bucket
   • Region: e.g. us-east-1
3. Click Test Connection to verify, then Save

Step 3: Configure Auto-Sync

Toggle Auto-sync to automatically upload completed downloads to this bucket.

Large Files

TorrenCloud uses resumable multipart uploads for large files. If an upload is interrupted (e.g., container restart), it will resume from where it left off.

Security Notes

Credentials are stored encrypted in your container's PostgreSQL database. They never leave your server — uploads go directly from your machine to AWS.
