Linode Object Storage in a native Mac client

Akamai’s Linode buckets speak S3. Pick the preset, enter your cluster, paste keys from the Cloud Manager, and browse.

Linode Object Storage (now part of Akamai) is S3-compatible and organised by cluster. The Linode tile in DockBird suggests the endpoint https://<cluster>.linodeobjects.com; replace the placeholder with your cluster id, such as us-east-1 or eu-central-1.

Create an access key under Object Storage in the Cloud Manager, paste the pair into the connection sheet, and DockBird lists your buckets. Everything else is the standard S3 workflow: prefix folders, multipart transfers, recursive delete, storage class column.

How to connect

  1. Press ⌘N or click the plus next to Servers in the sidebar.
  2. Choose the Linode tile.
  3. Fill in: Name · Bucket (leave empty to browse all buckets) · Region · Endpoint · Access key ID · Secret access key · Initial prefix.
  4. Click Save, then double-click the server. Approve the host key or certificate prompt if one appears.

Linode (Akamai) Object Storage questions

What is my Linode cluster id?

It is the first part of your bucket’s hostname in the Cloud Manager, for example us-east-1 in us-east-1.linodeobjects.com.
