Towbar provides separate s3 and r2 integration slugs with the same field model. Use s3 for another S3-compatible service and r2 for Cloudflare R2.

S3-compatible storage

Set TOWBAR_S3_ADDRESSING_STYLE to the mode required by the service. Keep private-network access disabled unless the endpoint intentionally resolves to a private address. A private CA can be supplied as Base64 through TOWBAR_S3_CUSTOM_CA_BASE64.

Cloudflare R2

Run sudo towbar config validate, then sudo towbar restart. The corresponding provider appears only when its enabled configuration is complete. Test a backup and restore with the intended prefix, retention, versioning, and encryption policy. Rotate keys by applying the new environment values, verifying a real operation, and then revoking the old key. See Database backups and the environment variable guide.
