Well, I am wondering what "s3 _compatible_ cloud object storage" means? You are not using Amazon's S3 ? There's an Elastic video on how to use S3 at: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/b/bb98b8b90ba128e3e10e5c06dfb13401cb5caa61.jpeg "Connect a custom AWS S3 snapshot repository | Elastic Cloud | Support Troubleshooting") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACqfyzWf-xs) as well as steps within the official elasticsearch documentation. ---

How did you configured the snapshot repository? Please share the configurations. Also, what is the the s3 compatible service you are using? MinIO? ---

Hi @ragc007 Welcome to the community What exact cloud storage are you using? Don't forget to run the repository analysis API to check compatiabiltiy... if it does not pass it will not work. We have a very strict reliance on S3 Compatibility... many "S3 compatible" options are just "sort a" S3 compliant > **[Repository analysis API | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/repo-analysis-api.html)** ---

we are not able to configure the repository, we are getting error as mentioned in issue description. steps are mention how we are trying to create repository adding access and secret key to key store and using curl command to create repo ---

Just to confirm, you already created the bucket in your S3 compatible tool, right? ---

> [@S3 Snapshot on S3 compatible servers](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/s3-snapshot-on-s3-compatible-servers/217750): > > Hi, I've been trying to setup the snapshot plugin in order to be able to backup my cluster, but I'm running into some issues with setting up the repository in ElasticSearch 7.5. I'm using OVH OpenStack Swift with S3 compatibility enabled (works perfectly fine for other things like gitlab). I've seen the direct Swift integration for ElasticSearch snapshots but the plugin looks to not be maintained anymore so I would rather go with S3. So i've setup the access\_key and secret\_key in the keystor… seems a related thread/topic. I note in that thread path\_style\_access was set to true there, and its default is false according to the docs, so maybe try adding that? ---

Lucky guess. Good luck with your project.
