Mount Amazon S3 buckets as Primary Storage #2079

Open oquidave opened 9 years ago

oquidave commented 9 years ago

Hello, I've installed Owncloud 8.x Community edition on my box. However, I can't mount Amazon S3 buckets directly to the users home directory. Instead when I use the external storage App, it appears as a separate folder under "external storage".

Why do I want this feature? I've run Owncloud on digitalocean $10 VPS and it works well. However, am limited by the service providers storage. Yet I could buy cheap storage from Amazon and mount it on my box.

I believe there other people that might this feature important. Would be great to have it in feature Owncloud versions. Thanks

@oquidave any luck? I think I'm trying to do the exact same thing as you

Me three. I just began trying to make s3 my own cloud primary storage. Any of you two have any leads on the topic?

Unfortunately @Serotonin7 I don't think it's possible with the community edition. Would love to be proven wrong though?

I'm now considering other options, such as s3fs or pydio which I think is s3 compatible

hi guys we use Amazon S3 protocol based LeoFS as primary storage and use owncloud it. you need some replacement but not difficult. we are using since last 1.5 year.

@PatelParas that sounds interesting - would you be able to provide a link on to how you implemented it? Thanks
