The JSON key object should be base64-encoded (using the standard encoding in [RFC 4648](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648)).
 
 - <sup>2</sup> You can create your own HTTP server with [Caddy or nginx](create-a-file-server.html). A custom root CA can be appended to the system's default CAs by setting the `cloudstorage.http.custom_ca` [cluster setting](cluster-settings.html), which will be used when verifying certificates from HTTPS URLs.
