Laravel: How to use Linode's Storage Object as an alternative to AWS S3 in PHP?
Linode's Object Storage is marked as being S3 compatible. Knowing this I thought that I can simply use Linode's credentials in my filesystems.php and use ->disk('s3') to upload and download files but apparently this is not the case.
I have installed all required S3 PHP packages as suggested in Laravel's docs.
My .env has:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=foo
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=bar
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=DE
AWS_BUCKET=my-linode-storage-object.eu-central-1.linodeobjects.com
In logs I get exception to Could not resolve host. It tries to concatenate AWS endpoint with what I provided above so no-brainer that it doesn't work. Should I install completely different package to handle Linode's Storage Object connections?
I don't see much tutorials on the web on how to use Linode's Storage Object in Laravel apps. Any links or hints would be appreciated.

You need to provide the S3 driver with the authentication URL.
For DE, this is: eu-central-1.linodeobjects.com
So your .env should be (note a few changes):
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=foo
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=bar
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=eu-central-1
AWS_BUCKET=my-linode-storage-object
AWS_ENDPOINT=eu-central-1.linodeobjects.com
