Using s3cmd/s5cmd with Cloudflare R2

tl;dr don’t use R2 if you need to upload files over 5gb using these tools. s3cmd: s3cmd -c /etc/s3cmd-r2.cfg --no-check-md5 --multipart-chunk-size-mb=50 sync my-dir s3://my-bucket Basically Cloudflare is not returning the expected md5 hash in the etag header hence breaking the upload of large files. You might try set `multipart-chunk-size-mb` to a higher value than the default of 15MB, up to 5gb, if that doesn’t suit your needs you may need another tool.

Seems there’s a bug (or a feature) somewhere in Ansible which doesn’t translate encrypted variables (but it works fine with vault files), so when you try to use them on a template it will fail with the error above. To work around that, you could try setting a fact before…
