S3 Screen

Due to security vulnerabilities and maintainability issues, the S3 service is deprecated in TrueNAS CORE 13.0 and removed in CORE 13.3. Beginning in CORE 13.0-U6, the CORE web interface generates an alert when the deprecated service is either actively running or is enabled to start on boot.

TrueNAS Enterprise
Beginning in CORE 13.0-U6, Enterprise customers with the S3 service running or enabled are prevented from upgrading to the next major version.

Users should plan to migrate to a separately maintained MinIO plugin or otherwise move any production data away from the S3 service storage location. Migrating from the built-in S3 service to the plugin could result in an extended data migration window and potential disruption to S3 data access.

See the CORE 13.0 MinIO Plugin tutorial for detailed migration instructions.

S3 manages data using object storage architecture.

Having large numbers of files (>100K for instance) in a single bucket with no sub-directories is not recommended. It can harm performance and cause stability issues.

Use the S3 screen to configure S3 on your TrueNAS.
