Any reviews on Backblaze b2? How to use OVH object storage?

gitreset

Looking to host some assets on b2, mostly images + videos.
Putting it behind cloudflare to save some moneys.

Looking for some reviews that you guys might have.

I've also looked into OVH object, which turns out to be cheaper, but
it has no api wrapper for php (wish not to write my own or use guzzlehttp for every operation), except for openstack swift.

Took a quick look at Openstack in general as I have no expereince on it.
It does look complicated for such simple use case. (upload, delete, get url)

Is there a simple way for me to use OVH object storage (maybe I am wrong about openstack), or should I just go with b2 or s3.

Appreciate your help, lowendtalk consultants.

edit: looked into hetzner storage box, looks interesting

If you're uploading with PHP, take a look at https://github.com/php-opencloud/openstack

http://docs.php-opencloud.com/en/latest/services/object-store/objects.html

If uploading manually, look at cyberduck.

I looked into that, doesn't it require you to have Openstack control panel?
for instance, I have no clue where to obtain keystoneUrl

I have no clue as to what to put for

$client = new OpenCloud\OpenStack('{keystoneUrl}', array(
  'username' => '{username}',
  'password' => '{apiKey}',
  'tenantId' => '{tenantId}',
));

Keystone URL: https://auth.cloud.ovh.net/v2.0

Example for Username/Password/TenantID https://forum.ovh.ca/showthread.php/3938-Public-Cloud-API-PHP-example-please

OVH's svfs repo gives some nice examples of where to find what the keystone options match up to.

Thank you so much, I would have given up on ovh if it won't for your hlep.
I'll give this a try.

I assume I can put ovh object store behind cloudflare just like I would for b2?

Not sure, never used it. OVH does have a CDN for the object storage though https://www.ovh.co.uk/cdn/, so it should not be a problem.

Give it a try

B2 still under development and unstable for production.

Even their official client has so many bugs, and limited functionality

B2 is more than half price of ovh solution, so I think backblaze b2 can be a better choice...
They are the masters of storing data

Storage might be, but not traffic.
Did my math and ovh turns out to be cheaper, because there will be more traffic than storage.
(2TB stored, 4TB out, 10TB cached by cloudflare monthly)

B2 looks interesting...alas, I'm still mad at them for lack of a Linux client.

Opps, okay.

Dormeo

Yes that is true.

What are you storing there? ^^
