I'm trying to configure Nextcloud to use S3 as the sole path of all files and therefore not hold any files locally.

I guess this can be done but only within a subdirectory. Would it be possible to do it at the root path? It seems the External Storage configuration requires a folder to be entered and / does not seem to be valid.

  • Could you please supply some links to the technology you mention and some sample code? Also, you added an [owncloud] tag, but didn't mention it in your question. – John Rotenstein Apr 23 '17 at 01:08
  • @JohnRotenstein `owncloud` and `nextcloud` are more or less synonyms currently, since fork and original have not yet diverged noticeably. – arkascha Apr 23 '17 at 19:37
  • You certainly can mount the S3 bucket as the top level `files` folder in your local system using system tools. But you are right, this is _not_ possible by just using the configuration options owncloud or nextcloud offer. – arkascha Apr 23 '17 at 19:38

    This is directly supported. [Relevant Nextcloud documentation](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/configuration_files/primary_storage.html). – mjac Sep 05 '17 at 03:50

    Note at the moment you must update config/config.php to reference your S3 object storage before the initial web install [reference](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/5865) – mjac Sep 05 '17 at 04:34
