We highly recommend to read the page describing Repositories and you can also set up a bucket with our API calls.
The guide is experimental and may contain errors as our technology continues to evolve. If you encounter any problems, please do not hesitate to contact us in Discord and give us your feedback.
Instructions
Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a new Repository in the Flashback Platform:
1
Open the Repositories page
In the left-hand menu, go to Storage → Repositories.
2
Create a new Repository
Click the Add Repository (or “+ New Repository”) button.
3
Fill in the Repository detail
Name: A human-readable description (e.g. “MyApp-Backups”).
API type: Choose one of S3, GCS, or Azure Blob to determine which protocol your backend server will use.
4
Associate Buckets
Switch to the Storage Buckets tab in the form. Click Add Bucket and select one or more of the buckets you previously configured.
Name collisions: within a single repo you cannot mix two buckets (or accounts) that share the same identifier. For example, you can’t have both an S3 bucket and a GCS bucket named “mydata” in the same repo .
5
Save the Repository
Click Save (or Create). Your new repository will now appear in the list.
6
Generate API keys
Once the repo is saved, open it and go to the API Keys tab. Click Add API key, then:
Description: e.g. “Read-only key for analytics”
Access mode: READ or WRITE
Click Create and immediately copy the generated secret to your clipboard—secrets are only shown once.
The API secret is only available to copy in the clipboard right after the creation of the API key entry. See here for more information.
