Hello @embewe, First of all, welcome to the balena forums! As I understand the solution, a miss configured environment was causing the problem. The environment for OPENBALENA\_S3\_BUCKETS and OPENBALENA\_REGISTRY2\_S3\_BUCKET needs to be set. I’m linking you the respective code location here [open-balena/make-env at 4a0f9c9db15888b90660a66b58acf6f82124f859 · balena-io/open-balena · GitHub](https://github.com/balena-io/open-balena/blob/4a0f9c9db15888b90660a66b58acf6f82124f859/scripts/make-env#L51) and here [open-balena/make-env at 4a0f9c9db15888b90660a66b58acf6f82124f859 · balena-io/open-balena · GitHub](https://github.com/balena-io/open-balena/blob/4a0f9c9db15888b90660a66b58acf6f82124f859/scripts/make-env#L69) Please also double check with this forums thread: [Configure to use AWS S3 and RDS](https://forums.balena.io/t/configure-to-use-aws-s3-and-rds/32030) Can you also please share more details about the issue that you’re facing? Runtime logs of the open-balena-api as mentioned `docker exec -it journalctl -u open-balena-api -f` Have you double checked that you have set all environment variables to use AWS S3 from the open-balena deployment? Thanks for sharing more details and best regards Harald --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.balena.io/t/using-aws-s3-as-the-registry-storage-for-openbalena/265674)._
