Tigris

Connect Tigris object storage to BucketMate with a Tigris access key

BucketMate connects to Tigris through its S3-compatible endpoint. BucketMate for macOS and iOS has a dedicated Tigris provider option with the endpoint prefilled.

Prerequisites

• Tigris account, or a Fly.io organization with Tigris storage
• Access key ID, starting with tid_
• Secret access key, starting with tsec_
• Bucket

Endpoint and region

Use this endpoint:

https://t3.storage.dev

The region is always auto. Tigris distributes data globally, so there is no regional endpoint to pick. The older https://fly.storage.tigris.dev endpoint still works.

Connection steps

1. Open the Tigris console at console.storage.dev. Fly.io users can sign in with Fly.io.
2. Go to Access Keys and create a key.
3. Give the key access to the buckets you want to browse.
4. Copy the access key ID and secret access key. If you created the bucket with fly storage create, you can use the keys it printed instead.
5. Open BucketMate.
6. Choose Add connection.
7. Select Tigris.
8. Keep the prefilled endpoint https://t3.storage.dev and region auto.
9. Enter the access key ID and secret access key.
10. Use Test Connection.
11. Choose Connect.

Common issues and fixes

Access denied

The access key has no role on the bucket. In the Tigris console, open Access Keys and give the key access to the bucket.

Invalid access key

The key was deleted, or the key and secret were swapped. Access key IDs start with tid_ and secrets start with tsec_.

SignatureDoesNotMatch

The secret is wrong or the region isn't auto. Set the region to auto and paste the secret again.

Temporary credentials

Tigris only supports access key and secret pairs. STS and temporary session credentials are not supported.

Buckets do not load

If the key can only access some buckets, turn off Load all buckets and add the bucket names manually.

BucketMate tips

• Tigris has no egress fees, so downloads and previews don't add transfer charges.
• Infrequent Access has a 30 day minimum and Archive tiers have a 90 day minimum. Check before changing a file's storage class.
• Use presigned links for temporary access to private objects.
