# Storing Matrix media files on Amazon S3 with Goofys (optional)
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to store Synapse's content repository (`media_store`) files on Amazon S3 (or other S3-compatible service),
|
|
you can let this playbook configure [Goofys](https://github.com/kahing/goofys) for you.
|
|
|
|
Another (and better performing) way to use S3 storage with Synapse is [synapse-s3-storage-provider](configuring-playbook-synapse-s3-storage-provider.md).
|
|
|
|
Using a Goofys-backed media store works, but performance may not be ideal. If possible, try to use a region which is close to your Matrix server.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to move your locally-stored media store data to Amazon S3 (or another S3-compatible object store), we also provide some migration instructions below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
After [creating the S3 bucket and configuring it](configuring-playbook-s3.md#bucket-creation-and-security-configuration), you can proceed to configure Goofys in your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_s3_media_store_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_s3_media_store_bucket_name: "your-bucket-name"
|
|
matrix_s3_media_store_aws_access_key: "access-key-goes-here"
|
|
matrix_s3_media_store_aws_secret_key: "secret-key-goes-here"
|
|
matrix_s3_media_store_region: "eu-central-1"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can use any S3-compatible object store by **additionally** configuring these variables:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_s3_media_store_custom_endpoint_enabled: true
|
|
matrix_s3_media_store_custom_endpoint: "https://your-custom-endpoint"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you have local media store files and wish to migrate to Backblaze B2 subsequently, follow our [migration guide to Backblaze B2](#migrating-to-backblaze-b2) below instead of applying this configuration as-is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Migrating from local filesystem storage to S3
|
|
|
|
It's a good idea to [make a complete server backup](faq.md#how-do-i-backup-the-data-on-my-server) before migrating your local media store to an S3-backed one.
|
|
|
|
Follow one of the guides below for a migration path from a locally-stored media store to one stored on S3-compatible storage:
|
|
|
|

|
### Migrating to any S3-compatible storage (universal, but likely slow)
|
|
|
|
It's a good idea to [make a complete server backup](faq.md#how-do-i-backup-the-data-on-my-server) before doing this.
|
|
|
|
1. Proceed with the steps below without stopping Matrix services
|
|
|
|
2. Start by adding the base S3 configuration in your `vars.yml` file (seen above, may be different depending on the S3 provider of your choice)
|
|
|
|
3. In addition to the base configuration you see above, add this to your `vars.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_s3_media_store_path: /matrix/s3-media-store
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This enables S3 support, but mounts the S3 storage bucket to `/matrix/s3-media-store` without hooking it to your homeserver yet. Your homeserver will still continue using your local filesystem for its media store.
|
|
|
|
5. Run the playbook to apply the changes: `ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start`
|
|
|
|
6. Do an **initial sync of your files** by running this **on the server** (it may take a very long time):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo -u matrix -- rsync --size-only --ignore-existing -avr /matrix/synapse/storage/media-store/. /matrix/s3-media-store/.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may need to install `rsync` manually.
|
|
|
|
7. Stop all Matrix services (`ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=stop`)
|
|
|
|
8. Start the S3 service by running this **on the server**: `systemctl start matrix-goofys`
|
|
|
|
9. Sync the files again by re-running the `rsync` command you see in step #6
|
|
|
|
10. Stop the S3 service by running this **on the server**: `systemctl stop matrix-goofys`
|
|
|
|
11. Get the old media store out of the way by running this command on the server:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mv /matrix/synapse/storage/media-store /matrix/synapse/storage/media-store-local-backup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
12. Remove the `matrix_s3_media_store_path` configuration from your `vars.yml` file (undoing step #3 above)
|
|
|
|
13. Run the playbook: `ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start`
|
|
|
|
14. You're done! Verify that loading existing (old) media files works and that you can upload new ones.
|
|
|
|
15. When confident that it all works, get rid of the local media store directory: `rm -rf /matrix/synapse/storage/media-store-local-backup`
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Migrating to Backblaze B2
|
|
|
|
It's a good idea to [make a complete server backup](faq.md#how-do-i-backup-the-data-on-my-server) before doing this.
|
|
|
|
1. While all Matrix services are running, run the following command on the server:
|
|
|
|
(you need to adjust the 3 `--env` line below with your own data)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker run -it --rm -w /work \
|
|
--env='B2_KEY_ID=YOUR_KEY_GOES_HERE' \
|
|
--env='B2_KEY_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET_GOES_HERE' \
|
|
--env='B2_BUCKET_NAME=YOUR_BUCKET_NAME_GOES_HERE' \
|
|
-v /matrix/synapse/storage/media-store/:/work \
|
|
--entrypoint=/bin/sh \
|
|
docker.io/tianon/backblaze-b2:2.1.0 \
|
|
-c 'b2 authorize-account $B2_KEY_ID $B2_KEY_SECRET > /dev/null && b2 sync /work/ b2://$B2_BUCKET_NAME'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is some initial file sync, which may take a very long time.
|
|
|
|
2. Stop all Matrix services (`ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=stop`)
|
|
|
|
3. Run the command from step #1 again.
|
|
|
|
Doing this will sync any new files that may have been created locally in the meantime.
|
|
|
|
Now that Matrix services aren't running, we're sure to get Backblaze B2 and your local media store fully in sync.
|
|
|
|
4. Get the old media store out of the way by running this command on the server:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mv /matrix/synapse/storage/media-store /matrix/synapse/storage/media-store-local-backup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Put the [Backblaze B2 settings seen above](#backblaze-b2) in your `vars.yml` file
|
|
|
|
6. Run the playbook: `ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start`
|
|
|
|
7. You're done! Verify that loading existing (old) media files works and that you can upload new ones.
|
|
|
|
8. When confident that it all works, get rid of the local media store directory: `rm -rf /matrix/synapse/storage/media-store-local-backup`
