WordPress DO Spaces Buckets Setup

📦 Required Buckets

Create these 10 buckets in DigitalOcean Spaces (NYC3 region):

wordpress-performwritecom-content
wordpress-sfnm-content
wordpress-redheale-content
wordpress-path2ucom-content
wordpress-outdoor1-content
wordpress-murwillu-content
wordpress-murbahmowers-content
wordpress-laserxperts-content
wordpress-kandudeliveriesc-content
wordpress-corne582-content

🔧 Creation Methods

Option 1: DigitalOcean Web Console (Recommended)

1. Go to https://cloud.digitalocean.com/spaces
2. Click "Create Bucket" or "Create Space"
3. Name: Enter bucket name (e.g., wordpress-performwritecom-content)
4. Region: NYC3
5. CDN: Enable (optional, for faster delivery)
6. File Listing: Restrict File Listing (security)
7. Click "Create Space"
8. Repeat for all 10 buckets

Option 2: AWS CLI (S3-compatible)

# Install AWS CLI
sudo apt install awscli
 
# Configure for DO Spaces
aws configure set aws_access_key_id YOUR_SPACES_KEY
aws configure set aws_secret_access_key YOUR_SPACES_SECRET
aws configure set default.region us-east-1
 
# Create buckets
for site in performwritecom sfnm redheale path2ucom outdoor1 murwillu murbahmowers laserxperts kandudeliveriesc corne582; do
    aws s3 mb s3://wordpress-${site}-content \
        --endpoint-url https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com \
        --region nyc3
done

Option 3: cURL + DigitalOcean API

# Get your DO API token
DO_TOKEN="dop_v1_..." # Your DigitalOcean API token
 
# Note: DO Spaces uses AWS S3-compatible API
# Bucket creation requires Spaces access keys, not DO API token
# See Option 2 above
