Connecting Leviia Object Storage

This guide walks you through connecting a Leviia Object Storage destination to Pluton.

Prerequisites​

Before connecting Leviia Object Storage, you need:

  1. A Leviia account - Sign up here
  2. S3 API credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) from your Leviia dashboard

Getting Your Leviia Credentials​

Step 1: Generate S3 API Keys​

  1. Log into your Leviia Dashboard
  2. Navigate to the Object Storage section
  3. Go to API Keys or S3 Credentials
  4. Click Create Key to generate a new key pair
  5. Copy the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key
  6. Important: Save both credentials immediately - the Secret Access Key may only be shown once

Step 2: Note Your Endpoint and Bucket​

  1. In the Leviia dashboard, find your assigned S3 endpoint (e.g., s3.eu-west.leviia.com)
  2. Create a bucket or note the name of an existing bucket you want to use for backups

Connecting to Pluton​

Pluton Leviia Object Storage

Step 1: Add Storage​

  1. In Pluton, navigate to Storages
  2. Click Add Storage button
  3. Select Leviia Object Storage from the provider list

Step 2: Configure Connection​

Fill in the required fields:

  • Storage Name: A friendly name (e.g., "Leviia Backups")
  • Access Key ID: Paste your Leviia S3 Access Key ID
  • Secret Access Key: Paste your Leviia S3 Secret Access Key
  • Endpoint: Your Leviia S3 endpoint (e.g., s3.eu-west.leviia.com)

Step 3: Advanced Options (Optional)​

Additional settings available:

  • Server-side Encryption: Choose AES256 or KMS encryption for data at rest
  • Storage Class: Select the storage class for new objects
  • Bucket ACL: Set access control for bucket operations
  • Upload Cutoff: Threshold for switching to chunked uploads (default: 200 MiB)
  • Chunk Size: Size of chunks for multipart uploads (default: 5 MiB)
  • Force Path Style: Enabled by default; use path-style access for S3 requests

Step 4: Test and Save​

  1. Click Test Connection to verify credentials
  2. If successful, click Save
  3. Your Leviia Object Storage is now ready for backup plans

Common Issues​

Authentication Failure: Verify your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key are correct. Regenerate credentials in the Leviia dashboard if needed.

Endpoint Error: Ensure the endpoint matches the one provided in your Leviia dashboard (e.g., s3.eu-west.leviia.com). Do not include the https:// prefix.

Bucket Not Found: Confirm the bucket name exists in your Leviia account and that your API key has access to it.

Best Practices​

  • Create dedicated API keys for Pluton with appropriate permissions
  • Use the endpoint region closest to your Pluton server for best performance
  • Enable server-side encryption for sensitive backup data
  • Monitor storage usage through the Leviia dashboard regularly
