Getting Started with stored.ge
stored.ge is S3-compatible object storage. If a tool speaks S3 — aws-cli, rclone, restic, boto3, JuiceFS, Cyberduck — it works here. This guide gets you from signup to your first upload in about two minutes.
1. Get your credentials
Your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key are shown once, right after you sign up. Copy them then — we hash the secret and can't show it again.
Lost the secret? No problem: open Dashboard → API Keys and generate a new key. Old keys keep working until you revoke them.
2. Your connection settings
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Endpoint | https://stored.ge |
| Region | us-east-1 |
| Access Key ID | from step 1 |
| Secret Access Key | from step 1 |
| Addressing | Path-style |
There are no API/request fees and no minimum storage duration. Your free tier includes 5 GB — no credit card required.
3. Configure the AWS CLI
aws configure
# AWS Access Key ID: your_access_key
# AWS Secret Access Key: your_secret_key
# Default region name: us-east-1
# Default output format: json
Then create a bucket and upload a file:
aws --endpoint-url https://stored.ge s3 mb s3://my-first-bucket
echo "hello stored.ge" > hello.txt
aws --endpoint-url https://stored.ge s3 cp hello.txt s3://my-first-bucket/
aws --endpoint-url https://stored.ge s3 ls s3://my-first-bucket/
That's it — your file is stored, encrypted at rest, and tiered automatically.
4. Use it from your language of choice
Python (boto3):
import boto3
s3 = boto3.client(
"s3",
endpoint_url="https://stored.ge",
region_name="us-east-1",
aws_access_key_id="your_access_key",
aws_secret_access_key="your_secret_key",
)
s3.upload_file("hello.txt", "my-first-bucket", "hello.txt")
Backup tools: see the one-page rclone guide. restic works
out of the box: restic -r s3:https://stored.ge/my-bucket init.
5. What happens to your data
- Encrypted at rest by default (SSE-S3). Want to hold your own keys? Use SSE-C.
- Auto-tiered: hot for the first ~30 days on fast enterprise S3, then migrated toward tape-backed archive. You don't configure lifecycle rules unless you want to.
- Deduplicated and compressed transparently — your quota counts logical bytes (what you see); the savings are ours.
