# Connect to Generic S3

This topic describes how to connect to a generic S3 service (such as [MiniO](https://min.io/)) from Domino. You must have network connectivity between your S3 service and your Domino deployment.

The easiest way to connect to a generic S3 service from Domino is to create a Domino Data Source as described below.

## Create a Generic S3 Data Source

1. From the navigation pane, click **Data > Data Sources**.

2. Click **Create a Data Source**.

3. In the New Data Source window, from **Select Data Store**, select **Generic S3**.

4. Enter the **Bucket**.

5. Optional: Enter a **Subfolder Path**, such as `myFolder` or `data/tests`, to restrict the Data Source to only list data from and write to the specified folder.

6. Enter the **Host**.

7. Enter the **Data Source Name**.

8. Optional: Enter a **Description** to explain the purpose of the Data Source to others.

9. Click **Next**.

10. Enter the **Access Key ID** and **Secret Access Key** to connect to Generic S3. The Domino secret store backed by HashiCorp Vault securely stores the credentials.

11. Click **Test Credentials**.

12. If the Data Source authenticates, click **Next**.

13. Select who can view and use the Data Source in projects.

14. Click **Finish Setup**.
