Installing laserfiche on AWS and using the S3 Bucket as storage option.

replied on December 2, 2025

Just use the block storage (the volumes you setup with the instance). That is where your active data will be. You can expand without any downtime, schedule snapshots and have the ability to restore from them.

I only use buckets for manual backups of RDS databases and long term storage of archived data.

And you should create a separate EBS volume (E:\ drive etc.) for your repository volumes, audit logs, search catalogs, etc. in a production environment. Don't put them on the root/OS drive C:\.

HI Sam

Any experience from Laserfiche with EFS. My understanding is Windows does not natively support the NFS Client version required for mounting the volumes? Best I can tell therefore not supported for Laserfiche Volumes for Windows Server EC2 I believe by Amazon's own language.

How about using FSx? Being a newer native Windows File System as I understand it should be supported for Volumes?

If you want file storage, Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is the SMB option.

But unless you're running a Laserfiche Repository Server failover cluster, and have Multi-AZ FSx configured to avoid system downtime during its maintenance windows, you almost certainly don't want FSx. Use normal EBS volumes 99% of the time. Don't overthink it.
