Migrating Scaleway Object Storage to AnubizHost Offshore
Scaleway Object Storage is S3-compatible and a reasonable price, but lives in French/EU jurisdiction. This guide walks through mirroring buckets to a self-hosted MinIO on AnubizHost offshore storage VPS using rclone.
Need this done for your project?
We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
Audit Scaleway Buckets
List buckets and sizes from the Scaleway console or with aws s3 ls --endpoint-url https://s3.fr-par.scw.cloud (Scaleway endpoint). Note any custom CORS, ACLs, and lifecycle rules.
Provision an AnubizHost storage VPS with 20% headroom above total bucket size.
Set Up MinIO and rclone
Install MinIO as in our S3 guide. Configure rclone with two s3-type remotes: one pointing at Scaleway (with the regional endpoint), one at MinIO. Test list operations on both before sync.
Mirror with rclone
rclone sync scaleway:mybucket minio:mybucket \
--transfers=16 --checkers=32 \
--progress --log-file=/var/log/rclone.logrclone preserves metadata, Content-Type, and timestamps. Run rclone check after sync to confirm parity.
Cut Over Applications
Update S3 SDK endpoint URLs in client code or config from Scaleway endpoint to MinIO endpoint. Restart application servers, verify reads and writes. Keep Scaleway buckets for one billing cycle as rollback.
MinIO Self-Hosted Advantages
MinIO on AnubizHost offshore gives you predictable cost (no per-GB egress), no French jurisdiction, and full control over the storage configuration. Related reading: offshore storage, S3 migration, Scaleway VPS migration.
