OpenStack Object Storage
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Object Storage is used to connect to an OpenStack Swift server, or to
|
|
Rackspace. Two authentication mechanisms are available: one is the generic
|
|
OpenStack mechanism, and the other is used exclusively for Rackspace, a provider
|
|
of object storage that uses the OpenStack Swift protocol.
|
|
|
|
The OpenStack authentication mechanism uses the OpenStack Keystone v2
|
|
protocol. Your Nextcloud configuration needs:
|
|
|
|
* **Bucket**. This is user-defined; think of it as a subdirectory of your total
|
|
storage. The bucket will be created if it does not exist.
|
|
* **Username** of your account.
|
|
* **Password** of your account.
|
|
* **Tenant name** of your account. (A tenant is similar to a user group.)
|
|
* **Identity Endpoint URL**, the URL to log in to your OpenStack account.

|
The Rackspace authentication mechanism requires:
|
|
|
|
* **Bucket**
|
|
* **Username**
|
|
* **API key**.
|
|
|
|
You must also enter the term **cloudFiles** in the **Service name** field.

|
|
It may be necessary to specify a **Region**. Your region should be named in
|
|
your account information, and you can read about Rackspace regions at
|
|
`About Regions <https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/about-regions/>`_.
|
|
|
|
The timeout of HTTP requests is set in the **Request timeout** field, in
|
|
seconds.
