Hi. After a rather intensive development phase, I have written three posts about serving static content from private cloud storage.
As I like to use HAProxy, I wanted to build this with HAProxy, and I noticed that there was no addon with "enterprise features" for it. What do I mean by "enterprise features"? The credentials should come from an external identity provider such as Entra ID, AWS STS or Google workload identity, not only from static keys. This is how the addon https://github.com/git001/haproxy-cloudauth came to life. The three posts describe the way from the addon to the HAProxy integration, then to HUG, and finally to serving a real site: https://blog.none.at/blog/2026/2026-10-22-haproxy-cloudauth/ https://blog.none.at/blog/2026/2026-10-22-hug-backend-config-snippets/ https://blog.none.at/blog/2026/2026-10-22-static-site-private-ovh-s3-haproxy/ It was very interesting, and fun, to learn what is already possible with HUG and what is not yet. Of course HUG is still quite new, so I would not judge it too strictly :-) I would be happy to get feedback. Regards Aleks
