Installation
AIOZ Static Website Deploy
Deploy a static website to AIOZ decentralized storage. Supports 4 built-in templates or user's own static site.
FLOW OVERVIEW
1. Login (email + password) → Bearer token + accountId
2. Choose template or custom site
3. Clone template & customize CONFIG
4. Get bucket info (name + 12-word passphrase)
5. Get rootZKey from API
6. Generate grant via grant-cli.ts
7. Register S3 credentials from grant
8. Upload files to S3
9. Create static website via API
10. Site live at https://<bucket>.sites.aiozstorage.app
STEP 1: LOGIN
Ask user for AIOZ Storage email and password.
curl -s 'https://api.aiozstorage.network/api/v1/login'
-H 'accept: application/json'
-H 'content-type: application/json'
-H 'origin: https://aiozstorage.network'
-H 'referer: https://aiozstorage.network/'
--data-raw '{"email":"<EMAIL>","password":"<PASSWORD>"}'
Response: data.access_token (Bearer token), data.account.id (accountId).
Store BEARER_TOKEN and ACCOUNT_ID.
STEP 2: CHOOSE TEMPLATE
Ask user which template or if they have their own static site.
Templates from https://github.com/AIOZStorage/aioz-storage-docs/tree/main/examples:
- landing — OLED dark theme, X/Twitter style landing page. CONFIG in
assets/main.js. - landing-alt — Purple gradient landing page. CONFIG in
assets/main.js. Supports*italic*gradient text in headlines. - portfolio — Clean minimal portfolio for devs/designers. CONFIG in
assets/main.js. Image carousel for projects. - documents — Full documentation site with Markdown content. CONFIG in
assets/js/config.js. Search, TOC, syntax highlighting. - Custom — User provides their own static files.
STEP 3: CLONE TEMPLATE & CUSTOMIZE
Clone the chosen template:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AIOZStorage/aioz-storage-docs.git /tmp/aioz-storage-docs
cp -r /tmp/aioz-storage-docs/examples/<template_name> ./<project_folder>

Content: create .md files in /docs/ with YAML front matter:
---
title: Page Title
description: Brief description
order: 1
hidden: false
---
Callouts: > [!NOTE], > [!TIP], > [!WARNING], > [!DANGER]
Code blocks with syntax highlighting (javascript, typescript, python, bash, json, html, css, yaml, sql, go, rust, java, etc.)
Hash routing: index.html#/page-name → loads docs/page-name.md
STEP 4: GET BUCKET INFO
Ask user for: 1. Bucket name — their bucket on aiozstorage.network 2. 12-word seed phrase — BIP39 passphrase from bucket creation
IMPORTANT: AIOZ Storage does NOT store passphrases. If lost, bucket access is lost forever.
See: https://aiozstorage.network/docs/tutorials/manage-buckets
STEP 5: GET ROOT ZKEY
curl -s 'https://api.aiozstorage.network/api/v1/zkeys'
-H 'accept: application/json'
-H 'content-type: application/json'
-H 'authorization: Bearer <BEARER_TOKEN>'
-H 'origin: https://aiozstorage.network'
-H 'referer: https://aiozstorage.network/'
--data-raw '{"name":"deploy-key","force":true}'
Extract: ROOT_ZKEY = data.zkey
STEP 6: GENERATE GRANT
Prerequisites (one-time setup in {baseDir})
cd {baseDir} && npm install
This installs argon2-browser and ts-node. No build:sjcl needed — the CLI uses Node.js built-in crypto.
Run grant-cli.ts (RECOMMENDED: JSON output for bot)
Two grants are needed:
1. Upload grant — permissions 1,2,3 (Read+Write+List) for S3 upload
2. Website grant — permissions 1,3 (Read+List only) for website creation
Upload grant:
npx ts-node {baseDir}/grant-cli.ts
--mode per-bucket
--zkey "<ROOT_ZKEY>"
--account "<ACCOUNT_ID>"
--url w3s
--duration 0
--bucket "<BUCKET_NAME>"
--passphrase "<12_WORD_SEED_PHRASE>"
--permissions 1,2,3
--output json
--quiet
Website grant:
npx ts-node {baseDir}/grant-cli.ts
--mode per-bucket
--zkey "<ROOT_ZKEY>"
--account "<ACCOUNT_ID>"
--url w3s
--duration 0
--bucket "<BUCKET_NAME>"
--passphrase "<12_WORD_SEED_PHRASE>"
--permissions 1,3
--output json
--quiet
Output (single JSON line to stdout):
{"grant":"<GRANT_STRING>","zkey":"<ZKEY_STRING>"}
Parse JSON to extract UPLOAD_GRANT and WEBSITE_GRANT.
IMPORTANT: Website API rejects grants with Write (2) or Delete (4) permissions.
Alternative: config file
echo '{"mode":"per-bucket","rootZKey":"<ROOT_ZKEY>","accountId":"<ACCOUNT_ID>","url":"w3s","duration":0,"buckets":[{"name":"<BUCKET_NAME>","passphrase":"<PASSPHRASE>","permissions":["1","2","3"]}]}' > /tmp/upload-grant-config.json
npx ts-node {baseDir}/grant-cli.ts --config /tmp/upload-grant-config.json --output json --quiet
echo '{"mode":"per-bucket","rootZKey":"<ROOT_ZKEY>","accountId":"<ACCOUNT_ID>","url":"w3s","duration":0,"buckets":[{"name":"<BUCKET_NAME>","passphrase":"<PASSPHRASE>","permissions":["1","3"]}]}' > /tmp/website-grant-config.json
npx ts-node {baseDir}/grant-cli.ts --config /tmp/website-grant-config.json --output json --quiet
CLI flags
| Flag | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
--mode |
Yes | per-bucket or all-buckets |
--zkey |
Yes | Root ZKey (base64url) |
--account |
Yes | Account UUID |
--url |
No | Service URL (default: w3s) |
--duration |
No | ms, 0 = no expiry (default: 0) |
--bucket |
per-bucket | Bucket name |
--passphrase |
Yes | 12-word seed phrase |
--permissions |
per-bucket | 1,2,3,4 (1=Read 2=Write 3=List 4=Delete) |
--config |
No | Path to JSON config file |
--output |
No | json for JSON output |
--quiet |
No | Suppress logs, stdout only |
STEP 7: REGISTER S3 CREDENTIALS
Use the upload grant (permissions 1,2,3):
curl -s 'https://reg-api.aiozstorage.network/api/v1/access'
-H 'accept: application/json'
-H 'content-type: application/json'
-H 'authorization: Bearer <BEARER_TOKEN>'
-H 'origin: https://aiozstorage.network'
-H 'referer: https://aiozstorage.network/'
--data-raw '{"grant":"<GRANT>","public":false}'
Extract: ACCESS_KEY_ID = data.access_key_id, SECRET_KEY = data.secret_key
STEP 8: UPLOAD FILES TO S3
S3 endpoint: https://s3.aiozstorage.network | Region: us-east-1 | PathStyle: true
Using AWS CLI
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<ACCESS_KEY_ID>"
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<SECRET_KEY>"
aws s3 sync ./<project_folder>/ s3://<BUCKET_NAME>/
--endpoint-url https://s3.aiozstorage.network
--region us-east-1
Using Node.js (@aws-sdk/client-s3)
Use S3Client with { region: "us-east-1", endpoint: "https://s3.aiozstorage.network", forcePathStyle: true, credentials: { accessKeyId, secretAccessKey } }.
Upload each file with PutObjectCommand, setting correct Content-Type:
.html→text/html .css→text/css .js→application/javascript .json→application/json .svg→image/svg+xml .png→image/png .jpg/.jpeg→image/jpeg .webp→image/webp .ico→image/x-icon .md→text/markdown .woff2→font/woff2 default→application/octet-stream
STEP 9: CREATE STATIC WEBSITE
Use the website grant (permissions 1,3 — Read+List only):
curl -s 'https://api.aiozstorage.app/api/v1/websites'
-H 'accept: application/json'
-H 'content-type: application/json'
-H 'authorization: Bearer <BEARER_TOKEN>'
-H 'origin: https://aiozstorage.network'
-H 'referer: https://aiozstorage.network/'
--data-raw '{
"bucket_name":"<BUCKET_NAME>",
"enabled":true,
"index_document":"index.html",
"error_document":"404.html",
"use_default_error":true,
"error_pages":{},
"grant":"<WEBSITE_GRANT>"
}'
IMPORTANT: Website API rejects grants with Write (2) or Delete (4) permissions. Use --permissions 1,3 for this grant.
API domain is api.aiozstorage.app (not .network).
STEP 10: DONE
Site is live at: https://<BUCKET_NAME>.sites.aiozstorage.app
API DOMAINS
api.aiozstorage.network— login, zkeysreg-api.aiozstorage.network— S3 credential registrations3.aiozstorage.network— S3 upload endpointapi.aiozstorage.app— static website creation<bucket>.sites.aiozstorage.app— static website URL
ERROR HANDLING
- Login fails → check email/password
- ZKey creation fails → Bearer token expired, re-login
- Grant generation fails → verify rootZKey, accountId, bucket name, passphrase
- S3 upload fails → check credentials, endpoint, bucket name
- Website creation fails → check grant, bucket name, Bearer token
- Site 404 → ensure index.html at bucket root (not in subfolder)
IMPORTANT NOTES
grantencodes both authorization (Macaroon/ZKey) and encryption key (EKey from passphrase)- Two grants needed: upload grant (permissions 1,2,3) and website grant (permissions 1,3)
- Website API rejects grants with Write (2) or Delete (4) permissions
- AIOZ Storage is S3-compatible — any AWS SDK works
- Bearer tokens expire — re-login on 401
- grant-cli.ts requires Node.js >= 18
- argon2-browser WASM loading is auto-patched in the CLI
- All template asset paths are relative (
./assets/...) — works from any base URL - For documents template, content is in
/docs/*.mdwith YAML front matter - For landing/landing-alt/portfolio, all content is in CONFIG object in
assets/main.js
