Static Website Hosting

This document provides instructions for managing Static Website Hosting using the CLI. Additionally, these tasks can also be performed using the web console and IONOS S3 Object Storage API.

Prerequisites:

• Set up the AWS CLI by following the installation instructions.

• Make sure to consider the supported S3 Endpoints.

Commands

Make the bucket public for static website hosting using Bucket Policy:

aws s3api put-bucket-policy --bucket my-bucket \
   --policy file://policy.json \
   --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

Contents of policy.json:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement":
    [
        {
            "Sid": "PublicRead",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": "*",
            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::example-bucket/*"
        }
    ]
}

Enable static website hosting for my-bucket:

aws s3 website s3://my-bucket \
    --index-document index.html \
    --error-document error.htm \
    --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com

Info: The website URLs differ from the endpoint URLs. The command sets up the static website here – http://my-bucket.s3-website-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com.

Disable static website hosting for my-bucket:

aws s3api delete-bucket-website --bucket my-bucket \
    --endpoint-url https://s3-eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com
