## Replication
If you're wondering why there are 3 buckets on MinIO UI - that's because our
production instance uses these to perform [replication](https://ente.io/reliability/).
In a self hosted Ente Instance replication is turned off by default.
When replication is turned off, only the first bucket (`b2-eu-cen`) is used,
and you can ignore the other two. Use the `s3.hot_storage.primary` option
if you'd like to set one of the other predefined buckets as the primary bucket.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> As of now, Replication works only if all the 3 storage type
> needs are fulfilled (1 Hot, 1 Cold and 1 Glacier Storage).

If you're wondering why there are 3 buckets on MinIO UI - that's because our
production instance uses these to perform [replication](https://ente.io/reliability/).
If you're also wondering about why the bucket names are specifically what they are,
it's because that is exactly what we are using on our production instance.
We use `b2-eu-cen` as hot, `wasabi-eu-central-2-v3` as cold (also the secondary hot)
and `scw-eu-fr-v3` as glacier storage. As of now, all of this is hardcoded.
Hence, the same hardcoded configuration is applied when you self host Ente.
In a Self hosted Ente Instance replication is turned off by default.
When replication is turned off, only the first bucket (`b2-eu-cen`) is used,
and the other two are ignored. Only the names here are specifically fixed, but
in the configuration body you can put any other keys. It does not have any relation
with `b2`, `wasabi` or even `scaleway`.
Use the `s3.hot_storage.primary` option if you'd like to set one of the other
predefined buckets as the primary bucket.
