Dies ermöglicht leistungsstarke Automatisierungsszenarien wie das Senden von Benachrichtigungen mit dynamischen Updates, das Verwalten von Gesprächsabläufen mit bearbeitbaren Statusnachrichten, das Bestätigen wichtiger Nachrichten mit Reaktionen und das Sauberhalten von Kanälen durch Entfernen veralteter Bot-Nachrichten. Ihre Agenten können zeitnahe Informationen liefern, Nachrichten aktualisieren, während Workflows fortschreiten, kollaborative Dokumente erstellen oder Teammitglieder benachrichtigen, wenn Aufmerksamkeit benötigt wird. Diese Integration überbrückt die Lücke zwischen Ihren KI-Workflows und der Kommunikation Ihres Teams und stellt sicher, dass jeder mit genauen, aktuellen Informationen auf dem Laufenden bleibt. Durch die Verbindung von Sim mit Slack können Sie Agenten erstellen, die Ihr Team mit relevanten Informationen zur richtigen Zeit auf dem Laufenden halten, die Zusammenarbeit verbessern, indem sie Erkenntnisse automatisch teilen und aktualisieren, und die Notwendigkeit manueller Statusaktualisierungen reduzieren – alles während Sie Ihren bestehenden Slack-Workspace nutzen, in dem Ihr Team bereits kommuniziert.

11+
Sim stores every uploaded file — knowledge base documents, chat attachments, execution outputs, profile pictures, and more — in object storage. Three backends are supported:
12+
13+
| Backend | When to use |
14+
|---------|-------------|
15+
| **Local disk** | Single-node Docker, local development, evaluation |
16+
| **[AWS S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/)** | Production, especially when running more than one app replica |
17+
| **[Azure Blob](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/storage/blobs/)** | Production on Azure |
18+
19+
<Callout type="warning">
20+
Local disk writes to the container's `/uploads` directory. Files are lost when the container is recreated unless that path is on a persistent volume, and they are **not** shared across replicas. For any multi-replica or production deployment, use S3 or Azure Blob.
21+
</Callout>
22+
23+
## How the backend is selected
24+
25+
Sim picks the backend automatically from environment variables — there is no explicit "provider" flag. The logic, in order of precedence:
26+
27+
1. **Azure Blob** — used if `AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME` is set **and** either (`AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME` + `AZURE_ACCOUNT_KEY`) or `AZURE_CONNECTION_STRING` is set.
28+
2. **AWS S3** — used if `S3_BUCKET_NAME` **and** `AWS_REGION` are set (and Azure is not configured).
29+
3. **Local disk** — the fallback when neither is configured.
30+
31+
If both Azure and S3 are configured, **Azure wins**. Set only the variables for the backend you intend to use.
32+
33+
## Set up AWS S3
34+
35+
<Steps>
36+
37+
<Step>
38+
39+
### Create the buckets
40+
41+
Sim separates files into purpose-specific buckets. At minimum you need the general workspace bucket; the rest are created on demand based on which env vars you set. A bucket that isn't configured falls back to the general bucket where the code allows it, but the recommended setup is one bucket per purpose.
42+
43+
```bash
44+
# Set your region once
45+
export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
46+
47+
# Create buckets (names must be globally unique — prefix with your org)
48+
for name in workspace-files knowledge-base execution-files chat-files \
49+
copilot-files profile-pictures og-images workspace-logos; do
50+
aws s3api create-bucket \
51+
--bucket "myorg-sim-$name" \
52+
--region "$AWS_REGION" \
53+
--create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint="$AWS_REGION"
54+
done
55+
```
56+
57+
<Callout type="info">
58+
In `us-east-1`, omit the `--create-bucket-configuration` flag — that region rejects an explicit `LocationConstraint`.
59+
</Callout>
60+
61+
Keep all buckets **private** (block public access). Sim serves files through short-lived presigned URLs, so the buckets never need public read access.
62+
63+
</Step>
64+
65+
<Step>
66+
67+
### Grant access with an IAM policy
68+
69+
Create an IAM policy scoped to your buckets and attach it to the user (or role) Sim runs as:
70+
71+
```json
72+
{
73+
"Version": "2012-10-17",
74+
"Statement": [
75+
{
76+
"Effect": "Allow",
77+
"Action": [
78+
"s3:GetObject",
79+
"s3:PutObject",
80+
"s3:DeleteObject",
81+
"s3:ListBucket"
82+
],
83+
"Resource": [
84+
"arn:aws:s3:::myorg-sim-*",
85+
"arn:aws:s3:::myorg-sim-*/*"
86+
]
87+
}
88+
]
89+
}
90+
```
91+
92+
You then have two ways to supply credentials:
93+
94+
- **Static keys** — create an IAM user with this policy and set `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`.
95+
- **Instance/role credentials (recommended)** — attach the policy to the EC2 instance role, ECS task role, or EKS IRSA role. Leave `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` unset and Sim falls back to the default AWS credential chain automatically.
96+
97+
</Step>
98+
99+
<Step>
100+
101+
### Configure environment variables
102+
103+
Set the region, optionally the credentials, and the bucket names:
104+
105+
```bash
106+
# Region + credentials
107+
AWS_REGION=us-east-1
108+
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIA... # omit when using an instance/IRSA role
109+
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... # omit when using an instance/IRSA role
110+
111+
# Buckets (per purpose)
112+
S3_BUCKET_NAME=myorg-sim-workspace-files
113+
S3_KB_BUCKET_NAME=myorg-sim-knowledge-base
114+
S3_EXECUTION_FILES_BUCKET_NAME=myorg-sim-execution-files
115+
S3_CHAT_BUCKET_NAME=myorg-sim-chat-files
116+
S3_COPILOT_BUCKET_NAME=myorg-sim-copilot-files
117+
S3_PROFILE_PICTURES_BUCKET_NAME=myorg-sim-profile-pictures
118+
S3_OG_IMAGES_BUCKET_NAME=myorg-sim-og-images
119+
S3_WORKSPACE_LOGOS_BUCKET_NAME=myorg-sim-workspace-logos
120+
```
121+
122+
Only `AWS_REGION` and `S3_BUCKET_NAME` are strictly required to switch Sim into S3 mode. Add the others so each file type lands in its own bucket.
123+
124+
</Step>
125+
126+
</Steps>
127+
128+

135+
| `S3_BUCKET_NAME` | General workspace files | **Yes** (enables S3) |
136+
| `S3_KB_BUCKET_NAME` | Knowledge base documents | Recommended |
137+
| `S3_EXECUTION_FILES_BUCKET_NAME` | Workflow execution files (default: `sim-execution-files`) | Recommended |
138+
| `S3_CHAT_BUCKET_NAME` | Deployed chat assets | Recommended |
139+
| `S3_COPILOT_BUCKET_NAME` | Copilot attachments | Recommended |
140+
| `S3_PROFILE_PICTURES_BUCKET_NAME` | User avatars | Recommended |
141+
| `S3_OG_IMAGES_BUCKET_NAME` | OpenGraph preview images (falls back to `S3_BUCKET_NAME`) | Optional |
142+
| `S3_WORKSPACE_LOGOS_BUCKET_NAME` | Workspace logos (falls back to `S3_BUCKET_NAME`) | Optional |
143+
| `S3_LOGS_BUCKET_NAME` | Stored logs | Optional |
144+
| `S3_ENDPOINT` | Custom endpoint for S3-compatible storage (R2, MinIO, B2) | Optional (AWS S3 if unset) |
145+
| `S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE` | `true` for path-style addressing (MinIO/Ceph) | Optional (defaults `false`) |
146+
147+

<Tabs items={['Docker Compose', 'Kubernetes (Helm)']}>
150+
<Tab value="Docker Compose">
151+
152+
Add the storage variables to the `.env` file used by `docker-compose.prod.yml`, then restart:
153+
154+
```bash
155+
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
156+
```
157+
158+
Because files now live in S3, you no longer depend on a local `/uploads` volume for durability.
159+
160+
</Tab>
161+
<Tab value="Kubernetes (Helm)">
162+
163+
Set the variables under `app.env` (non-secret, e.g. region and bucket names) and supply credentials through a secret. The chart ships a complete example at `helm/sim/examples/values-aws.yaml`:
164+
165+
```yaml

S3_EXECUTION_FILES_BUCKET_NAME: "myorg-sim-execution-files"
172+
# ...remaining buckets
173+
```
174+

## Set up Azure Blob
181+
182+
Azure Blob uses one container per purpose, mirroring the S3 layout. Authenticate with either a connection string or an account name + key.
183+
184+
```bash
185+
# Credentials — provide ONE of these forms
186+
AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME=mystorageaccount
187+
AZURE_ACCOUNT_KEY=...
188+
# or
189+
AZURE_CONNECTION_STRING=DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=...;AccountKey=...;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net

```
201+
202+
A full Helm example lives at `helm/sim/examples/values-azure.yaml`.
203+
204+
## Set up an S3-compatible provider (R2, MinIO, B2)
205+
206+
Sim works with any S3-compatible store by pointing the S3 client at a custom endpoint. Configure it exactly like AWS S3 (buckets, access key, secret), then add `S3_ENDPOINT` — and `S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE` where the provider requires path-style addressing. Verified with [Cloudflare R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/), [MinIO](https://min.io/), [Backblaze B2](https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage), and [RustFS](https://rustfs.com/).
207+
208+
<Callout type="info">
209+
`S3_ENDPOINT` is trusted operator configuration, so it is used as-is — `http://` and private hosts are accepted (no SSRF/HTTPS gate). Don't wire it to untrusted input.
210+
</Callout>
211+
212+
<Callout type="warning">
213+
**The endpoint must be reachable from your users' browsers, and the bucket needs CORS.** Uploads use presigned `PUT` requests sent **directly from the browser** to `S3_ENDPOINT` (downloads are proxied back through the app, so they only need server-side reachability). This means:
214+
215+
- A purely internal endpoint (e.g. `https://minio.internal:9000` that only the app pods can resolve) will let the server start cleanly but **uploads will fail in the browser**. Use an endpoint your users can reach.
216+
- Configure a **CORS policy** on the bucket that allows your Sim origin (`PUT`, `GET`, and the `Authorization` / `Content-Type` / `x-amz-*` headers). This applies to AWS S3 too — R2 and MinIO are no different.
217+
</Callout>
218+
219+
<Tabs items={['Cloudflare R2', 'MinIO', 'RustFS']}>
220+
<Tab value="Cloudflare R2">
221+
222+
[Cloudflare R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/api/s3/) uses virtual-hosted style (the default) and the region `auto`:
223+
224+
```bash
225+
AWS_REGION=auto
226+
S3_ENDPOINT=https://<account-id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com
227+
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<r2-access-key-id>

230+
# ...remaining S3_*_BUCKET_NAME vars, one R2 bucket each
231+
```
232+
233+
Leave `S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE` unset — R2 supports the default virtual-hosted addressing.
234+
235+
</Tab>
236+
<Tab value="MinIO">
237+
238+
[MinIO](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html) (and [Ceph RGW](https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/radosgw/)) need path-style addressing and accept any region string:
239+
240+
```bash
241+
AWS_REGION=us-east-1
242+
S3_ENDPOINT=https://minio.example.com # must be reachable from users' browsers, not app-pods-only
243+
S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=true

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<minio-access-key>

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<minio-secret-key>
246+
S3_BUCKET_NAME=myorg-sim-workspace-files
247+
# ...remaining S3_*_BUCKET_NAME vars, one bucket each
248+
```
249+
250+
`http://` works server-side, but since the browser uploads directly to this endpoint, prefer a TLS endpoint your users can reach (a mixed-content `http://` target will be blocked on an `https://` Sim origin).
251+
252+
</Tab>
253+
<Tab value="RustFS">
254+
255+
[RustFS](https://rustfs.com/) is a Rust-based, S3-compatible store (a MinIO drop-in). Configure it exactly like MinIO — path-style, any region string, SigV4 access key/secret:
256+
257+
```bash
258+
AWS_REGION=us-east-1
259+
S3_ENDPOINT=https://rustfs.example.com # must be reachable from users' browsers

264+
# ...remaining S3_*_BUCKET_NAME vars, one bucket each
265+

## Verify it works
273+
274+
After restarting with the new configuration:
275+
276+
1. Open the app and upload a document to a knowledge base (or set a profile picture).
277+
2. Confirm an object appears in the corresponding bucket/container.
278+
3. Reload the page — the file should still render (downloads stream back through the app at `/api/files/serve`).
279+
280+
If uploads fail, check the app logs for credential or permission errors (see [Troubleshooting](/self-hosting/troubleshooting)).
281+
282+
<FAQ items={[
283+
{ question: "What happens if I do not configure any storage variables?", answer: "Sim falls back to local disk, writing files to the /uploads directory inside the app container. This is fine for evaluation but not durable across container recreation and not shared across replicas — use S3 or Azure Blob for production." },
284+
{ question: "Do I have to create all eight S3 buckets?", answer: "No. Only AWS_REGION and S3_BUCKET_NAME are required to enable S3 mode. The purpose-specific buckets are recommended so each file type is isolated; og-images and workspace-logos fall back to the general bucket if their variables are unset." },
285+
{ question: "How do I avoid storing AWS keys in plaintext?", answer: "On EC2/ECS/EKS, attach the IAM policy to the instance role, task role, or IRSA service-account role and leave AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY unset. Sim resolves credentials through the default AWS SDK provider chain automatically." },
286+
{ question: "Can I use both S3 and Azure Blob at the same time?", answer: "No. Sim selects a single backend. If both are configured, Azure Blob takes precedence. Set only the variables for the backend you want." },
287+
{ question: "Are the buckets exposed publicly?", answer: "No, and they should not be. Keep them private with public access blocked. Sim serves files to users through short-lived presigned URLs, so the buckets never need public read permissions." },
288+
{ question: "Can I use MinIO or Cloudflare R2?", answer: "Yes. Configure it like AWS S3, then set S3_ENDPOINT to your provider's endpoint. For R2, set AWS_REGION=auto and leave S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE unset. For MinIO/Ceph, set S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE=true. See the S3-compatible provider section above." },

Esto permite escenarios de automatización potentes como enviar notificaciones con actualizaciones dinámicas, gestionar flujos conversacionales con mensajes de estado editables, reconocer mensajes importantes con reacciones y mantener canales limpios eliminando mensajes de bot obsoletos. Tus agentes pueden entregar información oportuna, actualizar mensajes a medida que avanzan los flujos de trabajo, crear documentos colaborativos o alertar a miembros del equipo cuando se necesita atención. Esta integración cierra la brecha entre tus flujos de trabajo de IA y la comunicación de tu equipo, asegurando que todos se mantengan informados con información precisa y actualizada. Al conectar Sim con Slack, puedes crear agentes que mantengan a tu equipo actualizado con información relevante en el momento adecuado, mejorar la colaboración compartiendo y actualizando información automáticamente, y reducir la necesidad de actualizaciones manuales de estado, todo mientras aprovechas tu espacio de trabajo de Slack existente donde tu equipo ya se comunica.
