61.20 Nextcloud External Storage Linode S3
20221230
An object store can be used to extend the data store beyond the store of files on a local volume. These are presented to the user as additional folders. This is different to having the primary storage on an object store which is covered in 61.24.
Linode Setup
Enable Cloud Storage on your linode account by creating a bucket:
This will also create an access key for the bucket and stores the
access and private keys into ~/.config/linode-cli. A label is
generated for the access key.
Nextcloud Setup
Enable external storage app in nextcloud
Under Administration click External storage. Provide a folder name
like sgcloud which is what is displayed to the users as the folder
using the external storage. Choose Amazon S3 and Access key. Supply a
unique bucket name to the linode store like
togs-nextcloud-store.
sudo nextcloud.occ files_external:create sgcloud s3 password::logincredentials -c host=192.168.0.1 -c share=SharedFolders -c root=Common -c domain=mydomain
