Hi, I'm a total noob to web dev and cloud storage, but I want to distribute recordings of my podcast

Hi, I'm a total noob to web dev and cloud storage, but I want to distribute recordings of my podcast through my website (a static site deployed with cloudflare pages). Would I be able to host these audio files with R2? Is that even a good way to do such a thing?

Karew•10/11/23, 1:49 AM

Yes and yes, podcasts are a great use-case for R2

XenoZaneOP•10/11/23, 1:53 AM

Ok, my next question: when I try to upload the audio files directly from my computer, they always fail. They're all under 300mb. I tried uploading some other smaller files and those worked. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to use Workers to do this?

XenoZaneOP•10/11/23, 3:34 AM

Nevermind, it's just a bit finnicky, I think I got it working

XenoZaneOP•10/11/23, 4:34 AM

Is there any way I can have my website with cloudflare pages and R2 on the same domain?

XenoZaneOP•10/11/23, 4:44 AM

I already own a domain, how do I set up a cdn subdomain?

XenoZaneOP•10/11/23, 5:04 AM

Oh! I figured it out finally (I had tried to do this earlier). I didn't realize that you create a subdomain when you add the DNS record from the R2 settings, I thought I'd have to set it up from the website's DNS page first.

how can i upload folder in R2

Dilip•10/11/23, 5:15 AM

var request = new TransferUtilityUploadDirectoryRequest
{
BucketName = this.videoBucket,
Directory = folder.FullName,
SearchOption = SearchOption.AllDirectories,
KeyPrefix = fileName,
};
await fileTransferUtility.UploadDirectoryAsync(request);

Dilip•10/11/23, 5:15 AM

This doesn't work

Hey guys asking this again cuz I think it got lost earlier - what’s the best practice for setting up multiple public buckets to serve the same web application? As I understand it, you can’t create multiple buckets for the same custom domain name?

You can do it with GraphQL. Since GraphQL isn’t just for that (or even just for R2 for that matter), you will need to craft your query to pull the info you are looking for.

https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/

You can get counts of various operations with GraphQL. They aren’t strictly read or write operations, so you can choose which you consider read/write if they differ from class A/class B operations. You can see a list of different operation types here:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/pricing/#class-a-operations

GraphQL Analytics API · Cloudflare Analytics docs

The GraphQL Analytics API provides data regarding HTTP requests passing through Cloudflare’s network, as well as data from specific products, such as …

Pricing · Cloudflare R2 docs

R2 charges based on the total volume of data stored, along with two classes of operations on that data:

Hi. I am very fun to join this channel.

Recently, I started to use Cloudflare R2 instead of AWS S3. Your service is very good!

Now, I have a question. If I uploaded "111111111/images/namihei.jpg" into bucket and make it public with CORS setting, I can show this image only writing this url in a html.

src="https://XX.r2.cloudflare.com/111111111/images/namihei.jpg"

But, if possible, I would like to hide this url since it includes user id "111111111" in the path (To manage the file easily, this information is necessary). I would like to write

src="https://XX.r2.cloudflare.com/hufhsehvnkenoihviknreb"

and make it possible to download the "namihei.jpg" file.

If R2 has a function to issue alternative url to download the file, I hope you to share how to do it.

Kirmola•10/11/23, 3:01 PM

Is upload_file method of boto implemented in R2 as I am dealing with direct file upload to R2?

Thanyaporn Pongpinij•10/11/23, 3:40 PM

Hello I have a little confusing in cloudflare r2 pricing

Thanyaporn Pongpinij•10/11/23, 3:41 PM

or I need to pay 4.5$ and 0.36$ even if I'm not use more than the limit?

Unsmart•10/11/23, 3:52 PM

if you use less than the free then you wont pay

UUnsmart if you use less than the free then you wont pay

Thanyaporn Pongpinij•10/11/23, 4:07 PM

Okay thanks you

Thanyaporn Pongpinij•10/11/23, 4:08 PM

so why some of my friend need to pay Cache reserve?

Thanyaporn Pongpinij•10/11/23, 4:08 PM

Unsmart•10/11/23, 4:08 PM

Cache reserve is a different product without any free tier

That’s correct, a custom domain can only be one bucket. You’ll need to use multiple domains, or you might be able to hack it with Redirect Rules or Transform Rules

It really depends on your app design. Usually you want to separate concerns. User content, logs, product images.

Karew•10/11/23, 10:49 PM

If your whole app is about uploading files you might have user uploads in one bucket and stuff like avatars or extra bits in a separate bucket

zendev•10/11/23, 10:58 PM

Right this was my initial thinking, which is why I was confused as to why it’s so convoluted to set up multiple public buckets

Hey, you can create buckets in different locations but then you need to have a script to redirect requests

For R2 Sippy migration that's in beta, how does that work exactly? Trying to understand costs on the S3 side

is the R2 bucket listable with all the S3 objects? so, is there a LIST operation run when I active Sippy to get details of every object in the S3 bucket, and is it kept in sync somehow?
OR is there no LIST operations, I see nothing in the R2 bucket, but when I sync something with same key as S3, it'll transfer over that object to R2 and then make it visible on the R2 side?

Does that make sense? I'm not very familiar with all the specific terms of R2/S3, so sorry if that's confusing

shaep778•10/12/23, 11:03 AM

Also, with the Super Slurper Migration, can I define multiple "sub path"s in one migration job?

Karew•10/12/23, 11:44 AM

With Sippy on, listing R2 will just show what has currently been brought over (so your second bullet)

Karew•10/12/23, 11:44 AM

You can monitor the R2 bucket as it’s being filled

so just to be sure... we won't pay for any LIST requests on s3, just GET request + egress cost per object when we ask for a object from R2 for the first time?

ahmed•10/12/23, 3:05 PM

What is the difference between R2 and Cache Reserve.

My use case is video delivery, around 100 to 120 TB per month. Currently, I have my video files on Wasabi. As per my understanding, Cache Reserve will fetch files automatically from my origin and store it permanently (on R2 itself), and in case I go with R2, I will have to upload files myself and it would same as storing files as on Wasabi. I want to understand the difference in the delivery of R2 and Cache Reserve, is it same CDN distributed globally or R2 is just a storage with free egress and requires a CDN separately for delivering 100+ TB of video content?
