Amazon S3 bucket

Hi renaaat!
I would like to use this plugin with MinIO that implements an S3 service compatible with the AWS S3 implementation. I think it would be a matter of choose a personalized host instead of a closed list. It would be possible to implement such thing? A way to choose other servers than the Amazon's servers?
Best Regards!
Caio.

Hello Jaco-Louis Kruger,
THX for your feedback.
This plugin does not use the aws.phar file, but the local AWS sdk plugin. Probably you have another plugin installed that does rely on the aws.phar file in the Moodle lib directory. Because both sdk's are doing the very same thing, you cannot use both, and you receive a "Cannot redeclare fatal error".
Or you can remove the aws.phar file or you can try to remove the local/aws plugin and rewrite the plugin to use the lib/aws.phar file, but that will be some work....

Good day
I installed the local_aws plugin as required, but after installing this plugin I get the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare Aws\manifest() (previously declared in phar:///var/www/moodle/html/lib/aws.phar/Aws/functions.php:385) in /var/www/moodle/html/local/aws/sdk/Aws/functions.php on line 320
Do you perhaps have any advice in this regard?
Thanks for the great plugin.
Kind regards

Hello Frank,
This plugin supports Moodle version 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11. Limiting the AWS user created for the repository has to be done in AWS and not in Moodle, otherwise it simply would not be possible that teachers could add private buckets.
R

Does it work with 3.11? Also, could you just limit the aws user/role created for the repository to only have access to the S3 buckets you want.

Hello Frank,
It seems to be you tried to install the plugin without the dependent local_aws plugin. Delete the plugin or install the dependent plugin.

I just tried to install this plugin, but now I'm not able to get access back into the moodle server. I get a "This page isn’t working right now" http error 500

Hello Sonny,
Thanks for the update.
Can you add your SSE wish in the issue tracker?
Greetings.

Ok, we found the culprit, it seems the plugin does not generate the correct presigned URL if the files/bucket are encrypted with server-side encryption (SSE) or S3 managed keys (SSE-S3). After turning that off on the bucket and uploading a non-encrypted file, the NoSuchKey is gone and the video file is now loading/playing. I still wish we can have SSE or SSE-S3 use in the future.

Thanks for this plugin Renaat. I was able to see the folders on AWS S3 moodle and set some videos as links on a course. My issue though is that when I tried to playback the video it seems AWS S3 video file link is not loading on the course. When I tried to open it using the link only, it gave an AWS error of
NoSuchKeyThe specified key does not exist.
It seems that file is missing but when I tried to generate the file link thru AWS S3 website itself its playing normally.
I'm using the latest version of moodle (newly installed) and AWS SDK eWallah version.

Hello Juandi,
it seems I cannot configure the new version of this plugin to work with Moodle 3.9 until MDLSITE-6520 is fixed. So stick for the moment to the older version.
Greetings,

Hello Juandi,
THX for the problem report. I could reproduce the error and I am now uploading a fixed version.
Could you use in the future the Bug tracker to report problems? More bells start ringing when a bug is found.

Hi Reenat!
I am having and issue with the update to 3.9. When I choose a file from my S3 bucket, and click at Save and return to course button, always appears the same error:
Error
Cannot read file. Either the file does not exist or there is a permission problem.
The IAM credentials are fine and I can see all the files. I updated the local_aws pluginto the eWallah version too... If I downgrade to the older version then the plugin works... Any suggest?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Omlet,
When you can see the folders and images and no videos - you are trying to add an image to your content page, Try adding a Moodle media file, then all images should be hidden and only folders and videos will be shown.
If you still do not see any videos, check if your media files are using a simple storage engine (Standard - One Zone-IA - Reduced Redundancy - ...) as this plugin skips archives that have the DEEP_ARCHIVE or GLACIER attribute.

Hello,
I can't see the any large size video files in folders of my bucket through moodle, while adding video to content page.
I'm receiving error message "No files available".
What should I do.
I've followed all procedures.
Created the bucket. Properly used all keys.
I'm able to access all folders and image files in the bucket but can't see video files.
