can I create a page rule to redirect for example domain.com/r2/ to a public domain r2 bucket?

as the message said is it posible to create a page rule redirect so when i type in that url it will automatically redirect me to my public r2 bucket url so i can download the file easier

also when i try to acess my page rule that i set up like this *domain.dev/r2/* i cant for some reason acess that website i get a dns error on my side

Chaika•2/16/24, 8:57 PM

I mean yea you can redirect to anything. Although you're not talking about the r2.pub one right? If so, that public access domain isn't recommended for production/is rate limited

You need a proxied DNS Record for the page rule to work. If you aren't going to have any real origin/web server on that hostname, you can just create AAAAAAAA

100::100:: ProxiedProxied

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 8:59 PM

ahh ok so thats what i need i didnt know that

Chaika•2/16/24, 8:59 PM

100:: is IPv6 Discard, basically saying if nothing in CF handles the request/returns a response, there's no external origin it should try to connect to

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 8:59 PM

is there some documentation on this?

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:01 PM

like this?
https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/troubleshooting/faq/#what-ip-should-i-use-for-parked-domain--redirect-only--originless-setup

What IP should I use for parked domain / redirect-only / originless setup?

In the case a placeholder address is needed for “originless” setups, use the IPv6 reserved address 100:: or the IPv4 reserved address 192.0.2.0 in your Cloudflare DNS to create a proxied DNS record that can use Cloudflare Redirect Rules, Page Rules, or Cloudflare Workers.

or you mean specifically for setting up page rules?

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:06 PM

ok i did the thing you said i still cant be redirected to the website that

so i setup the url redirect like this

url: domain.dev/r2/*url: domain.dev/r2/*
Forwarding URL Forwarding URL -> 301 - Permanent Redirect301 - Permanent Redirect
Enter destination URL: https://pub-<random numbers here>.r2.dev/$1Enter destination URL: https://pub-<random numbers here>.r2.dev/$1

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:06 PM

and i still cant connect to it even affter adding the dns record you specified @Chaika

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:06 PM

it's not going to be instant, there's dns cache

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:06 PM

ohh yeha should i turn on Development mode to just test it?

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:07 PM

that's just for edge http cache, not dns cache

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:07 PM

dns cache wise you have local dns cache on your device and cache on your DNS Resolver

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:07 PM

ok i flushed my dns

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:07 PM

so i just need to wait for the dns cache to be updated then

NNbc66 ok i did the thing you said i still cant be redirected to the website that so i...

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:07 PM

although you shouldn't be using pub-r2.dev for anything production related. Use an R2 Custom Domain instead, they're free, and you could just access your files directly like yourcustomdomain.dev/filename

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:08 PM

the issue is i want to use the apex domain as my main website

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:08 PM

and just route to r2 using the domain.com/r2

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:08 PM

then you can just add r2 to a subdomain like r2.yourcustomdomain.com/hi or cdn.yourcustomdomain.com

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:08 PM

redirects aren't going to play nice if you try to link to resources in your bucket or anything like that

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:09 PM

ok so just make a cdn subdomain then

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:09 PM

That would be recommended yea

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:09 PM

and link that in the custom domain on the r2 bucket settings correct? @Chaika

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:10 PM

how could i make the subdomain tho?

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:10 PM

you don't need to make the subdomain record or anything

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:10 PM

should i also used the parked domain method?

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:10 PM

just link it under R2 settings and it'll do it for you

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:10 PM

under R2 Bucket Settings -> Custom Domains -> Connect Domain

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:10 PM

ohhh my god i didnt know that ok

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:11 PM

(CF Pages, R2 Custom Domains, Worker Custom Domains, Zero Trust Public Hostnames are all like that btw, creating records for you when you add a new hostname to them)

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:12 PM

i hade no idea you could do it like that

thank you

Nbc66OP•2/16/24, 9:13 PM

ohh 1 more question not related to this did they add support for making folders in r2? @Chaika

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:14 PM

R2, like S3/Azure/most object storages, only support folders in a virtual way with a prefix you specify

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:14 PM

If you create a file like cookies/innerfoldercookie.png, the R2 dash will show "cookies" as a folder

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:14 PM

really it'll just be the object has a key of cookies/innerfoldercookie.pngcookies/innerfoldercookie.png

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:16 PM

The R2 S3 API, like with AWS S3, allows you to specify the delimiter you want. For example

is the common one you're used to. You can specify that in a ListObjects request for example and it'll support it: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_ListObjects.html

ListObjects - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Returns some or all (up to 1,000) of the objects in a bucket. You can use the request parameters as selection criteria to return a subset of the objects in a bucket. A 200 OK response can contain valid or invalid XML. Be sure to design your application to parse the contents of the response and handle it appropriately.

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:17 PM

You can create objects in your bucket like folder/innerfolder/file.pngfolder/innerfolder/file.png, and access them via https://r2.yourcustomdomain.com/folder/innerfolder/file.pnghttps://r2.yourcustomdomain.com/folder/innerfolder/file.png, and it'll show them (by default) in the R2 dashboard as folder-like, for other tools it depends how they work

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:17 PM

If you wanted to make an "empty folder", you'd have to make a dummy file like folder/0.dummyfolder/0.dummy, but there are better ways of handling that usually

Chaika•2/16/24, 9:17 PM

so I suppose the answer is it depends what you mean, R2 supports the same S3 API as normal S3 does, and in the same general way

Hello everyone, would like to ask, r2 use a custom domain name to download file traffic free or not? The document only wrote the use of r2.dev domain name free, thank you!

Cyb3r-Jak3•11/29/24, 9:29 PM

There are no traffic charges from R2 no matter where you get it from, worker, r2.dev or custom domain. Please make your own post next time

can I create a page rule to redirect for example domain.com/r2/ to a public domain r2 bucket?
