Comet

Comet is a simple backup tool that quietly protects your important files and folders. It takes snapshots of your data on a schedule and lets you restore anything you lose without hassle. It stores all those backup copies in affordable S3-compatible object storage. Using S3 means your backups are safe, can grow as big as you need, and you only pay for what you actually store. This combination gives regular people enterprise-grade protection at a fraction of the usual cost and complexity.

Connection / Setup

  1. Create an account and log in to DiskSpace
  2. Click I'm ready to set up my storage
  3. Enter Bucket Name following the instructions
  4. Click Create Bucket and wait for it to be generated
  5. Find your Endpoint URL, Access Key, and Secret Key in the S3 Client Configuration section for use below

Connect Comet to DiskSpace.sh (S3-compatible storage)

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

Connection Steps:
  1. Open the S3 connection settings in Comet.
  2. Enter the following credentials and configuration:
Region: Leave empty or use us-east-1
Important: Path-Style Requests

DiskSpace.sh requires path-style URLs (not virtual-hosted style). Comet must be configured to use path-style addressing.

Example URL format:
https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key
Example Configuration
Endpoint URL: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Region: us-east-1 (or leave blank)
Path Style: Enabled
Troubleshooting
  • Ensure "Force Path Style" or "Path Style" option is enabled in Comet
  • Verify your Access Key and Secret Key are correct
  • Do not include a trailing slash in the Endpoint URL
  • If connection fails, try setting Region to us-east-1
  • Confirm your bucket exists and you have proper IAM permissions
