How to Use Alibaba Cloud OSS to Sync an infolio Knowledge Base

Prepare Alibaba Cloud OSS as an infolio custom sync source: bucket, regional endpoint, AccessKey, RAM permissions, public/internal endpoint choice, and recovery validation.

Quick answer

Alibaba Cloud OSS fits users who already use Alibaba Cloud or want infolio data in domestic object storage. The endpoint must match the bucket region, and credentials should use dedicated RAM permissions.

Steps

1

Create a dedicated OSS bucket

Choose the target Alibaba Cloud region and create a dedicated OSS bucket for infolio. Later access must use an endpoint that matches the bucket region, not a random region endpoint.

  • Record the bucket name and region.
  • Use a dedicated bucket or dedicated prefix.
  • Avoid mixing public assets and infolio sync data.
2

Choose the correct endpoint

OSS public endpoint format is region-based, such as oss-[RegionID].aliyuncs.com. Alibaba Cloud documentation states that bucket access requires the endpoint to match the region where the bucket is located, and OSS does not rely on cross-region automatic redirects.

  • Use a public endpoint for devices syncing over the internet.
  • Only consider an internal endpoint for same-region Alibaba Cloud internal access.
  • Check region, bucket, and endpoint before configuration.
3

Create a least-privilege AccessKey with RAM

Do not use the main account AccessKey. Create a RAM user or role for infolio, restrict it to the relevant OSS bucket, and generate a dedicated AccessKey ID and AccessKey Secret.

  • Limit the OSS bucket scope.
  • Record credential purpose and creation date.
  • Do not expose AccessKey Secret in ordinary notes or screenshots.
4

Enter OSS sync information in infolio

Enter bucket, endpoint, AccessKey ID, AccessKey Secret, and other required fields in infolio custom sync settings. Test with a small data set before treating it as the long-term sync source.

  • If connection fails, first check endpoint region.
  • If permission fails, check the RAM policy.
  • Confirm the network can reach the OSS public endpoint.
5

Validate recovery on a new device

After OSS sync is configured, connect a second device to the same sync source. Confirm documents, workspaces, whiteboards, and vaults recover before deleting important data from the original device.

  • Confirm normal knowledge-base content recovers.
  • Confirm vault authentication and unlock work.
  • Review OSS storage, requests, and billing periodically.

FAQ

What happens if the OSS endpoint is wrong?

It can cause connection failures, permission-looking errors, or access to the wrong region. OSS endpoint should match the bucket region.

Can I use the Alibaba Cloud main account AccessKey?

It is not recommended. Create a permission-limited RAM credential for infolio and restrict it to the relevant bucket.
