⚙️ Technical Stack

Platform: PHP script/add-on for UpToEarn system. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Storage Backend: IDrive E2 object storage (S3-compatible API likely) for file uploads and retrieval.

Server Requirements:

• Web server: Apache or Nginx with PHP support.
• PHP version: Compatible with PHP 8.x (per listing). :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• Access to IDrive E2 storage account and relevant credentials (API key, secret, bucket).

🧩 Installation Guide

1. Purchase/download the add-on from the official listing. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
2. Ensure you already have the UpToEarn platform installed and configured, since this is an add-on (not a standalone system). :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
3. Upload the add-on files into your UpToEarn installation (usually in the “addons” or “plugins” folder).
4. Configure the add-on: enter your IDrive E2 storage credentials (bucket name, endpoint, access/secret keys) via the add-on settings in admin panel.
5. Test a file upload via UpToEarn’s user upload form and verify the file appears in your IDrive E2 bucket, and is accessible/downloadable correctly.
6. Monitor upload/download performance, verify permissions and accessibility settings in the IDrive E2 bucket.
7. Go live: ensure backups, configure monitoring of storage costs, set download limits/quotas if needed.

Tip: Before enabling for all users, test with a few dummy uploads to ensure the add-on settings match your IDrive E2 configuration (region, path, endpoint). Also monitor storage cost in early days.

🧠 Notes

• Dependency Notice: This is not a stand-alone storage system; it is an add-on for UpToEarn only. If you have not installed UpToEarn, the add-on will not work. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
• Licensing: While many resellers list GPL/unlimited-domain versions, always verify that your copy includes a legitimate license and that you comply with terms. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
• Storage Cost Awareness: While IDrive E2 is marketed as low-cost, you should still monitor storage and egress costs, especially for heavy-upload platforms and downloads.
• Security & Permissions: Ensure your IDrive buckets are properly secured (public read/download only where intended, private where needed), and configure access keys carefully.
• Performance Considerations: Object-storage endpoints may introduce latency compared with local storage; consider caching or CDN for high-traffic downloads.
