04/25/2023, 5:55 AMI am looking for documentation on the UsageSummary command seen in the documentation: https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/pricing/#class-b-operations. But I can't find any information on what it does (usage related, sure). - l

04/25/2023, 10:00 AMYep you can only use your custom domain for reads. The warnings exist to make sure you understand that anyone with the link to the object can view it (which might not be what you want if you’re storing sensitive content) - s

04/25/2023, 10:03 AMR2 is usage-based with a free tier. Your card is only used if you overshoot it. We ask for one to make sure traffic to your bucket isn’t interrupted when/if you do overshoot - That’s mostly an API for the dashboards
Sid | R2
04/25/2023, 10:04 AMThat’s mostly an API for the dashboard, and is undocumented right now because I plan on changing it slightly. If you’re looking for a way to get bucket usage statistics, you might want to look into the GraphQL API instead.v- 2

04/25/2023, 10:19 AMwhat if someone doesn't care if traffic gets interrupted and actually prefers that rather than paying? - l

04/25/2023, 10:20 AMcan you set your account so that it does never exceed free tier usage? - h

04/25/2023, 10:22 AMYou can set alerts - h

04/25/2023, 10:22 AMBut afaik, you can't set hard limits - l
LordSilver
04/25/2023, 10:29 AMwhere you set those? - z

04/25/2023, 12:28 PMThanks! Can you also add a domain to make reads from localhost during development or what’s the best way to handle that? - x

04/25/2023, 1:17 PMI've been looking but I can't tell if the workers api supports r2 copying. I see its supported via s3

04/25/2023, 1:18 PMThe Workers API doesn't have copy, no - x

04/25/2023, 1:18 PMOh crap. Are there any plans of adding at some point? - c

04/25/2023, 2:35 PMHi, I have some R2 buckets that are empty on the web interface, but I can't delete them because they're not empty. What's happening? - h
HardAtWork
04/25/2023, 2:36 PMThere might be some multipart uploads that are stuck. You can run a
to get rid of them.rclone prune REMOTE:/bucket - c
Cubox
04/25/2023, 2:37 PMthat must be it - c
Cubox
04/25/2023, 2:37 PMneed to upgrade rclone to support prune but thanks - c
Cubox
04/25/2023, 2:38 PMdo you mean purge? - h

04/25/2023, 2:39 PMSorry, I mixed them together. I meant
, which shouldn't delete any completed objects, though in your case you can use either.cleanup - c

04/25/2023, 4:41 PM@jeromes sorry for the ping, is there any further steps i can take with this? - l
LordSilver
04/25/2023, 4:52 PMDoes anyone know how to create an R2 bucket using CDKTF? - l
LordSilver
04/25/2023, 4:55 PMI could just find this: https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/examples/terraform/ - l
LordSilver
04/25/2023, 4:56 PMi think it's actually not supported yet - j
jeromes
04/25/2023, 5:01 PM@dAn hello sorry for the delay; I see the result of the sanity checks I asked, thank you. We need to have engineering investigate on the matter. I'll reach out to you tomorrow about that. - d
dAn
04/25/2023, 5:01 PMalright, thank you - l

04/25/2023, 5:22 PMWhy R2 is implemented as an S3 bucket using AWS provider in Terraform? It's quite counter-intuitive. Even if you copied the API 1:1, I would have put that under Cloudflare provider. - u
Unsmart | Tech debt
04/25/2023, 6:08 PMNot sure what you mean? - s
Sid | R2
04/25/2023, 6:17 PMIt's temporary, till R2 support lands in the official Cloudflare provider. We recommend the AWS provider right now because it can work against R2's S3-compatibility API to let you control buckets from Terraform in the time being.
