Setting Up S3-Compatible Object Storage in Unli.ai

Default Storage Option

Unli.ai provides a complimentary default storage solution with the following specifications:

• Storage Location: AWS S3 (US East 1 region)
• File Limit: Maximum of 100 files per workspace
• File Size Limit: Up to 5 MB per file
• Cost: Free with your Unli.ai workspace
• Purpose: Ideal for small projects, initial testing, and lightweight document storage

Important Notes:

• This default storage is automatically available when you create a new workspace
• No additional configuration is required to use the default storage
• If you need to store more files or larger documents, you'll need to configure a custom object storage solution

Recommended Storage Provider

We recommend Cloudflare R2 because it is easy to set up and offers a generous free tier. However, if your organization already uses a different S3-compatible storage provider (e.g., AWS S3, MinIO, Backblaze B2), you can use that as well.

Steps to Add Object Storage

1. Select Object Storage as Data Source

• Navigate to the Datasources section in your Unli.ai project.
• Click Add new data source and select Object Storage from the dropdown.

2. Configure Object Storage

• Click the Configure button to open the setup window.

3. Enter Storage Details

• Assign a label name to easily identify the storage later.

• Fill in the S3-compatible storage details in the following format:

  {
      "bucket": "your-bucket-name",
      "region": "us-east-1",
      "endpoint": "your-storage-endpoint",
      "credentials": {
          "access_key_id": "your-access-key",
          "secret_access_key": "your-secret-key"
      }
  }

• Click Attach Storage to save the configuration.

4. Verification

Once attached, your object storage will be available in the Datasources section.

5. Uploading and Using Object Storage

• After verification, the data source will be added, and you can upload documents directly to it.
• This storage will also be used by default for documents obtained via web scraping or direct upload.

Your object storage is now ready to be used within Unli.ai for seamless document ingestion and AI-powered knowledge retrieval!
