Backup Configuration

Configure backup paths and S3 settings for Blnk backups.

This page covers the settings Blnk uses for backup storage, including the local backup path and the credentials needed for S3-compatible object storage.

Backup settings

Use these settings to choose where backup files are written and how Blnk connects to S3 or another S3-compatible service.

BLNK_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=

BLNK_S3_ENDPOINT=

  "s3_bucket_name": "",
  "s3_region": ""
}

BLNK_BACKUP_DIR

Local directory path Blnk uses when writing backup files.

BLNK_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

Access key ID used to authenticate with S3.

BLNK_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Secret access key used to authenticate with S3.

BLNK_S3_ENDPOINT

Custom S3 endpoint, usually used for S3-compatible storage providers.

BLNK_S3_BUCKET_NAME

Bucket name where backup files are stored.

BLNK_S3_REGION

Region for the S3 bucket.

`BLNK_BACKUP_DIR`

Use this to tell Blnk where backup files should be written before they are stored or uploaded.

Set a path that your Blnk process can read from and write to. If you are running Blnk in containers, make sure the directory is backed by a mounted volume instead of short-lived container storage.
