Owncloud

Note

Note: Since Nextcloud and Owncloud only support keystone V2 authentication, this will only work for users having a local keystone account.

In this page you will find a link to a video giving you information on how to do the coupling of SWIFT to an Owncloud or Nextcloud instance as external storage.

If you use tools like duck or rclone to sync complete directories with the files in them, they will not be visible right away in Owncloud or Nextcloud. For every directory a zero-byte object needs to be created with a name ending with a slash (/) and content type httpd/unix-directory. Then all directories and files will pop up in Owncloud and Nextcloud. You can do this using a command like:

curl -i -X PUT -d "" -H "X-Auth-Token: <token>" -H "Content-Type:httpd/unix-directory" <storage url>/<container>/<directory name ending with a slash (/) >

For example, with two levels of directories you would create objects like: dir1/dir2/.
