Description

The Object Storage for Open edX with S3 plugin is a tool for you if you’re using the Tutor platform to manage your Open edX instances. It allows you to integrate your Open edX with external S3 storage services like AWS S3 or alternatives such as Ceph with radosgw. With this plugin, you can easily configure custom S3 settings tailored to your needs, specifying AWS access key, secret access key, S3 host, port, region, SSL usage, and other relevant parameters. It ensures that the version you install is compatible with your Open edX and Tutor versions, providing flexibility and customization for your S3 storage setup. The plugin comes with detailed documentation to guide you through the installation and configuration process.

This plugin is meant to make a Tutor-managed Open edX interface with S3 hosted outside of Tutor. If instead, you want to deploy your own S3-compatible storage platform as part of Tutor, please consider the minIO Tutor plugin.
