Instead of storing media files on local disk, Synapse can be configured to push media to S3 and fetch it on demand, enabling scalable, distributed media management for Matrix homeservers.\n\nThe plugin integrates with Synapse's media storage system via configuration in homeserver.yaml. It supports optional features like server-side encryption with customer-provided keys, configurable storage classes (e.g., STANDARD_IA for cost optimization), object prefixes for multi-tenant bucket sharing, and tunable thread pool sizes. It also includes a companion script (s3_media_upload) for asynchronous bulk uploads and cleanup of local media after archival to S3.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is an actively maintained, low-friction plugin for a specific and well-defined use case: offloading Synapse media storage to S3. It has no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and stable dependencies. Install it if you run Synapse and want S3-backed media storage; skip it if you use local disk storage or a different homeserver."},"id":"synapse-s3-storage-provider","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/synapse-s3-storage-provider","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/synapse-s3-storage-provider.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/synapse-s3-storage-provider/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"synapse-s3-storage-provider","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A storage provider which can fetch and store media in Amazon S3."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":137877,"position":11352,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.1"}
