Aliyun OSS Destination

This page describes the Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service, also known as Aliyun OSS.

Duplicati supports storing files on Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service, aka Aliyun OSS, which is a large-scale object storage, similar to S3. In Aliyun OSS you store "objects" (similar to files) in "buckets" which define various properties shared between the objects. If you use a / in the object prefix, they can be displayed as virtual folders when listing them.

Note that the bucket id is globally unique, so it is recommended using a name that is not likely to conflict with other users, such as prefixing the bucket with the project id or a similar unique value. If you use a simple name, like data or backup it is likely already associated with another project and you will get permission errors when attempting to use it.

User interface

To use the Aliyun OSS destination you must specify: bucket, path in bucket, access key id, access key secret, and endpoint.

URL format for Commandline

To use Aliyun OSS, you can use the following URL format:

aliyunoss://<prefix>
  ?oss-bucket=<Bucket name>
  &oss-endpoint=<Endpoint>
  &oss-access-key-id=<Access Key Id>
  &oos-access-key-secret=<Access Key Secret>

The endpoint is defined by Aliyun and needs to match the region the bucket is created it. The access key can be obtained or created in the Cloud Console.
