> 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?
