Please allow us to change S3 server information. We use DreamObjects as a drop in replacement for S3 on all of our apps and we would like to use DreamObjects in place of S3. To implement this, you will only need to allow us to define a server on the setup fields that you currently prompt us for. Obviously you'd leave Amazon's servers in for default, but allow us to change these.
Custom S3-compatible backup locations
Completed
With the advent of S3 backups, allowing for arbitrary ceph locations would be greatly beneficial.
As long as you can change the ceph domain (from s3.amazon.com to whatever.myceph.com) then the majority of aspects work out of the box. That would let people use any host/ceph service they want :)
I like this idea

It is unlikely that the Amazon S3 backup destination accommodating other backup destinations itself will be implemented, as this attempts to modify an intentionally single-organization backup destination to a multi-organization backup destination.
Essentially, we have provided the ability to write your own custom backup destinations precisely for individuals to write their own custom backup destinations. Whether it is DreamObjects or some other backup solution, it's intended that you can write these custom destinations.
Now if there is significant demand/votes for a particular custom backup solution, that provides reason for us to consider writing the backup destination module ourselves and distribute it.
Therefore I encourage you and others to continue to vote on this request, but the Amazon S3 backup destination will likely always remain specific to Amazon S3 itself. It would end up as a new selection in the menu for "DreamObjects"

The situation is such that DreamObjects is 100% identical to S3. Can you please provide instructions on making our own destination by simply creating a duplicate of the S3 destination and then we can simply tweak the server field? If you at least allow us to duplicate the S3 option, that will facilitate very easy modification for us.

While this doesn't exactly answer the request, we have made it much easier for you to build your own custom remote destination in version 66. Take a look, and give it a shot. If you write your own, send me your github link! I'd love to share it.

This feature is in version 74 that is now in the EDGE tier! I recommend setting up an EDGE server (instructions on our blog) and give it some testing!
