Object Storage Setup Guide for WordPress

📘 What Will You Learn in This Guide?​

As WordPress sites grow, media files fill up the server disk and slow down the site.
In this guide, you will learn how to enable the S3 compatible Object Storage service.

In this way, you can host your images and static files in a server-independent, fast and scalable area.

Preliminary Preparations​

Before starting this installation you must have the following:

  • An active cloud infrastructure account (e.g. GenixNode)
  • WordPress site running on Ubuntu or similar system
  • WordPress user with Admin authority

1. Create a New Storage Space (Bucket)​

The first step is to create the Object Storage area that will hold your files.

  • Log in to your cloud panel
  • Enter the Storage / Object Storage menu
  • Click on Create Space / Bucket button

This area will be the center of your WordPress media files.

2. Select Data Center Region​

The physical location of your files directly affects performance.

Suggestion:

  • If your visitors are in Turkey, select Türkiye or nearby locations
  • Example server: tr1-node01

This selection minimizes latency.

3. CDN (Content Delivery Network) Settings​

CDN serves static files from the point closest to the user.

  • Turn on Enable CDN
  • Define custom subdomain if you want
    Example: cdn.ornek.com

This setting significantly increases WordPress loading speed.

4. Static Site and Access Permissions​

In this step, security and access settings are made.

  • Static Site Hosting: Generally not required for WordPress
  • File Listing:
    Leave Off (Restricted) for security

Files are accessible via link, the list does not appear.

5. Naming and Creating​

  • Set unique bucket name
    Example: wp-medya-2025
  • Select the relevant project
  • Check the settings and press the Create button

Your Object Storage space is now ready.

6. Connecting with WordPress​

You will need the following information for WordPress to connect to Object Storage:

  • Access Key
  • Secret Key
  • Endpoint
    Example: https://tr1.genixnode.storage

This information is often used in S3 compatible plugin installation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)​
