Configure S3-compatible access for Laravel

Summary

Object storage client for a Laravel app on Ample. Verified on Laravel: bucket credentials delivered as encrypted S3_* environment variables and a validated PutObject/GetObject round-trip linked to a database row (upload=ok linked=ok). Build and start: composer install --no-dev from composer.lock, then FrankenPHP serving public/ (php-server with the index.php fallback) reading PORT on the php-8.5 template.

Representative Queries

• Configure S3-compatible access for Laravel
• Where can I host Configure S3-compatible access built with Laravel?
• I need exact S3 endpoint, credentials, operation requirements and an upload/download verification.

Resource Requirements

• primitive:compute
• primitive:s3-compatible-object-storage

Infrastructure Requirements

Compute

• Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.

S3-compatible object storage

• Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.

Prerequisites

• A Laravel project (composer install --no-dev from composer.lock, then FrankenPHP serving public/ (php-server with the index.php fallback) reading PORT on the php-8.5 template)
• A bucket from ample bucket create with credentials passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables
• An Ample account token with servers:write, buckets:read

Workflow Steps

1. Build and start: composer install --no-dev from composer.lock, then FrankenPHP serving public/ (php-server with the index.php fallback) reading PORT on the php-8.5 template; the server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.
2. Create the bucket and pass its credentials: Create it once with ample bucket create, then pass endpoint, region, bucket and keys with --env; use path-style addressing.
   Command: ample deploy . --name --public --env S3_ENDPOINT=... --env S3_REGION=... --env S3_BUCKET=... --env S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... --env S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
3. Verify: Fetch the live URL and /p/browser-file-uploads on the example; on failure read the build and runtime logs.
   Command: ample logs --kind build

Limitations

• Verified on the php-8.5 template at s-1vcpu-1gb; other sizes and Laravel major versions are not verified.
• Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.
• PutObject and GetObject with path-style addressing are verified; other S3 operations are not.

Cost Estimate

• Currency: USD
• Monthly Amount: 5.0
• Basis: size prices from pricing.toml at build revision 1ac5595375130d45290090e82ed0f554ccd45405-dirty; apps auto-pause when idle.

Components

• app server: size: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthlyAmount: 5.0

Example

• Title: Laravel pattern fixture
  Description: Verified object storage client on Laravel.
  Source Ref: tests/deploy-canaries/laravel-patterns

Success Checks

1. App responds on its public URL - expect: ample canary laravel patterns
2. Browser-file-uploads check from the example - expect: see the pattern fixture checks

Evidence Summary

• Kind: canary_run
  Summary: Laravel pattern fixture deployed on Ample (composer install --no-dev from composer.lock, then FrankenPHP serving public/ (php-server with the index.php fallback) reading PORT on the php-8.5 template); for this guide: bucket credentials delivered as encrypted S3_* environment variables and a validated PutObject/GetObject round-trip linked to a database row (upload=ok linked=ok).
