How to Use Wasabi with CloudPanel Backups (S3-Compatible Storage)
If you’re running CloudPanel and want to store your backups offsite, you’re not limited to Amazon S3. Wasabi is a high-performance, low-cost alternative that works perfectly — thanks to its full compatibility with the S3 API.
Here’s how to get it working.
🔐 What You Need from Wasabi
Before you start, log into your Wasabi Console and gather the following:
- Bucket Name – e.g.,
cloudpanel-backups - Access Key ID
- Secret Access Key
- Endpoint URL – depends on the region your bucket is in
Example (US West – Oregon):https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com
💡 Don’t worry about “Region” — you can use a placeholder like
us-west-1. It only matters for AWS, not Wasabi.
⚙️ How to Set It Up in CloudPanel
- Log into your CloudPanel admin dashboard.
- Go to Backups > Remote > Add Backup Provider.
- Choose “S3 Compatible” or “Other” as the provider.
- Enter the following:
| Field | What to Enter |
|---|---|
| Access Key | Your Wasabi Access Key ID |
| Secret Key | Your Wasabi Secret Access Key |
| Bucket | Your Wasabi Bucket Name |
| Region | us-west-1 (or any placeholder) |
| Endpoint URL | https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com |
| Storage Path | (Optional) Folder inside bucket, e.g., backups/ |
- Save the settings and run a test backup to ensure it connects.
🎉 You’re Done!
CloudPanel will now back up directly to your Wasabi S3 bucket, giving you reliable and affordable offsite storage — without being locked into AWS pricing.
If you’re using other providers (like Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, or MinIO), just follow the same method — as long as they’re S3-compatible, they’ll work.
