This guide explains how to connect your Tigris buckets to Mixpeek, enabling automated data ingestion and processing. Tigris is a globally distributed, multi-cloud object storage service with built-in support for the S3 API.

​
Prerequisites

  • An active Tigris account
  • A Tigris bucket containing the data you want Mixpeek to process
  • Access key and secret key from your Tigris account

​
Configuration Steps

Connecting Mixpeek to Tigris requires granting Mixpeek read access to your bucket. Tigris uses S3-compatible authentication, making it straightforward to set up.

1

Get Tigris Credentials

To access your Tigris buckets, you’ll need your access key and secret key:

  1. Log in to your Tigris account
  2. Navigate to your account settings
  3. Generate or copy your access key and secret key
  4. Store these credentials securely - you’ll need them to configure the connection in Mixpeek
2

Configure AWS CLI (Optional)

If you want to test your Tigris connection locally first, you can configure the AWS CLI:

# Configure AWS CLI
aws configure set aws_access_key_id <access-key>
aws configure set aws_secret_access_key <secret-key>
aws configure set region auto

# List buckets
aws s3 ls --endpoint-url https://t3.storage.dev

# Create a bucket
aws s3api create-bucket --bucket <bucket-name> --endpoint-url https://t3.storage.dev

This step is optional but can help verify your credentials are working correctly.

Add Tigris Connection in Mixpeek

  1. Navigate to the Integrations or Data Sources section in your Mixpeek dashboard
  2. Click Add Connection or New Source and select Tigris
  3. Enter the required details:
    • Bucket Name: The name of your Tigris bucket
    • Endpoint URL: https://t3.storage.dev
    • Access Key ID: Your Tigris access key
    • Secret Access Key: Your Tigris secret key
    • Optionally, specify a Prefix if you only want Mixpeek to process files within a specific folder in your bucket
  4. Click Test Connection to verify the credentials and permissions
  5. Click Save or Connect

​
Verification

Once connected, Mixpeek should start discovering files in your specified Tigris bucket (and prefix, if provided). You can monitor the ingestion status within the Mixpeek Studio. Depending on your pipeline configuration, feature extraction and indexing will begin automatically for supported file types.

If you encounter issues, double-check your Tigris credentials and ensure the bucket name is correct. Since Tigris is S3-compatible, you can use standard S3 tools and libraries to verify your bucket access.
