Release Notes – v1.0.0

🎉 Initial Release

CloudStash is a Home Assistant custom integration for storing backups in S3-compatible object storage. The integration registers itself as a backup agent and appears directly under Settings → System → Backups as an additional storage location.


✨ Features

☁️ S3-Compatible Backup Agent

CloudStash connects the Home Assistant backup system to any object storage that supports the S3 protocol:

  • Upload backups – automatically or manually from the HA UI
  • Download backups – restore directly from the cloud
  • List backups – browse all stored backups including metadata
  • Delete backups – remove old archives you no longer need

📦 Multipart Upload

Large backups are automatically transferred in chunks. This keeps memory usage low – even for multi-gigabyte backups.

🔧 Comfortable Config Flow

  • Initial setup with connection test (credentials + bucket are verified immediately)
  • Re-authentication when credentials expire or change
  • Reconfiguration – update settings anytime through the HA UI
  • Endpoint normalization – missing https:// prefixes are added automatically

🌍 Supported Providers

Provider Endpoint pattern
AWS S3 https://s3.<region>.amazonaws.com
MinIO http://<host>:9000
Wasabi https://s3.<region>.wasabisys.com
Backblaze B2 https://s3.<region>.backblazeb2.com
Cloudflare R2 https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com
DigitalOcean Spaces https://<region>.digitaloceanspaces.com
Synology C2 https://eu-002.s3.synologyc2.net
Garage http://<host>:3900

Any other S3-compatible service should work as well.

🗂️ Structured Storage Layout

<bucket>/
  <prefix>/
    backups/
      <backup-id>.tar
      <backup-id>.metadata.json

Each backup produces two objects: the archive itself and a small JSON metadata sidecar. The configurable prefix keeps CloudStash data separated from other content in the bucket.
