From [https://docs.drone.io/server/storage/database/](https://docs.drone.io/administration/server/database/), “S3 Storage” is a great feature. But as the code isn’t available, I wonder which client implementation is used to connect to S3, and if it’s technically possible to connect to a non AWS S3 bucket… such as minio, GCP, DO, etc.
One of the best Go client is [GitHub - minio/minio-go: MinIO Go client SDK for S3 compatible object storage](https://github.com/minio/minio-go) which I hope you use. If yes, is there a environment variable to specify the endpoint?

Just ran into this same question and after a bit of perusing it appears that the current code does not support specifying an endpoint unless you want to mount in a configuration file and have the [aws-sdk-go](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go) read from it. I wasn’t a huge fan of doing the aforementioned behavior so I created [this PR](https://github.com/drone/drone/pull/2600) to add the logic/environment variable.
