PD Cloudflare R2 for Blesta: getting started

PD Cloudflare R2 lets you offer Cloudflare R2 buckets through Blesta, using Cloudflare. It suits S3-compatible storage on Cloudflare R2, with the resource linked to the customer’s service.

Before you start

Install PD Modules for Blesta first, connect the account that holds your licence, then install PD Cloudflare R2 from its Store. Allow the staff group that needs to use it.

You also need an R2-enabled Cloudflare account and credentials authorised for the module’s bucket and customer-access operations. Check the provider account’s permissions, available locations and capacity before enabling automatic provisioning.

Connect the account

In Settings → Company → Modules, find the installed module, choose Manage and add its account connection. Blesta calls this a module row. Keep this provider connection separate from the package settings.

Define what the customer receives

Create a package using PD Cloudflare R2 and review its Module Options and configurable options. Start with Default data location, Default quota and Default max buckets. Together these describe the resource requested when a service is provisioned; they are not just labels on the order form.

Use the R2 endpoint supplied for the service. Do not substitute an Amazon S3 endpoint simply because the client speaks the S3 protocol.

Choose which client controls the package exposes. If you offer configurable options, check that their values match the module’s supported choices and that the defaults describe the service you intend to sell.

Put the service into use

Add the package group to the intended order form when it is ready. Blesta creates the service before provisioning completes; check the service state and ensure the normal cron is running for subsequent updates.

Check the first service

Review the bucket or container, endpoint, access details and recorded usage. Use an authorised small test file to check the customer connection before offering the service more widely.

Creating a real service creates provider resources and can incur provider charges. Review the configuration first; use your normal controlled test process for the first provisioning rather than making an order solely to browse the settings.
