Caringo Swarm

Caringo Swarm is a smart storage system that acts like a super-reliable digital warehouse for huge amounts of files and data. It automatically spreads your important files across many drives and keeps extra copies so nothing ever gets lost even if hardware fails. It uses S3-compatible object storage to let you access and manage all your files using the same simple methods that popular cloud services use. This S3 compatibility means your existing apps and tools can connect to Swarm without any changes, making it easy to store photos, videos, backups, and business records. The real-world value comes from its ability to protect data for decades while letting you grow storage endlessly without downtime or complicated management.

Connecting DiskSpace.sh to Caringo Swarm

DiskSpace.sh is fully S3 API compatible and requires path-style addressing. Follow the steps below to configure your connection.

Connection Steps:
  1. Open the S3 connection dialog in your application.
  2. Select Caringo Swarm as the storage provider.
  3. Enter the credentials and endpoint information provided by DiskSpace.sh.
  4. Ensure Path-style requests is enabled (required).
  5. Leave the Region field empty or set it to us-east-1.
  6. Test the connection and save the configuration.
Path Style Required: Caringo Swarm uses path-style S3 requests. The correct format is:
https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key
Virtual-hosted style (bucket.s3.diskspace.sh) is not supported.
Example Configuration:
Endpoint: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: ****************************************
Region: us-east-1 (or leave empty)
Path Style: Enabled
Troubleshooting Tips:
  • • Verify you are using the exact Endpoint URL provided by DiskSpace.sh
  • • Confirm that "Force Path Style" or "Path-style requests" is enabled in your client settings
  • • Try setting Region to us-east-1 if connection fails with an empty region
  • • Ensure your Access Key and Secret Key are copied correctly (no extra spaces)
  • • Check firewall rules and network connectivity to s3.diskspace.sh
