Introduction
What it is
Orbit Object Console is a self-hostable web console for browsing and managing buckets and objects on any S3-compatible storage endpoint. Sign in via OIDC, save one or more connection profiles (endpoint + credentials, encrypted at rest), then browse, upload, download, preview, share, and manage buckets across all of them from one UI.
Everything runs as a single Node process: the server serves the API under /api,
OIDC routes under /auth, and the built frontend as static files, all from one
origin.
Supported backends
Any storage endpoint that speaks the S3 API works, including:
AWS S3 profiles can also authenticate without a stored access key, using the server's own AWS identity (EKS Pod Identity, IRSA, instance profile) — see Keyless AWS IAM for details.
