 - **AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:** Your IAM user's access key.
 - **AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY:** Your IAM user's secret key.
 - **AWS_REGION:** The AWS region where your S3 bucket is located.
 - **AWS_BUCKET_NAME:** The name of the S3 bucket you created.
-- **AWS_ENDPOINT_URL:** (Optional) The custom AWS endpoint URL
+- **AWS_ENDPOINT_URL:** (Optional) The custom AWS endpoint URL. Required for S3-compatible services such as MinIO, Cloudflare R2, Hetzner Object Storage, and Backblaze B2.
+- **AWS_FORCE_PATH_STYLE:** (Optional) Set to `true` for providers that require path-style URLs (`endpoint/bucket/key`) rather than virtual-hosted-style (`bucket.endpoint/key`). Required for Hetzner Object Storage, MinIO, and similar providers whose SSL certificates don't cover bucket subdomains. Not needed for AWS S3 or Cloudflare R2. Default: `false`.
 
 If you are using **IRSA** on Kubernetes, you do **not** need to set `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` in your environment. The AWS SDK will automatically obtain temporary credentials via the service account assigned to your pod. Ensure that `AWS_REGION` and `AWS_BUCKET_NAME` are still provided.
