## Instructions
### Configuration from the graphical interface
#### Activate the _External storage support_ application
Click on your profile at the top right and then on `Apps
`.
Select the `Disabled Apps
` in the left panel.
Locate the **External storage support**
application and click `Enable
`
#### Configuration
Click on your avatar at the top right then on `Settings
`.
1. Select the External storage menu
2. Create an _Amazon S3_ storage type.
3. Name your destination folder
4. Specify the name of your bucket
5. Set the host as: `s3..io.cloud.ovh.net`
6. Set the port to 443
7. Specify the region
8. Activate SSL
9. Enter your access key
10. Fill in your secret key
11.
Validate
Open the `Files
` application, select the `External storage
` menu then your `bucket
`.
The result should be similar to this:
### Configuration from the CLI
First, the **External storage support** application must be enabled:
```bash
$ php occ app:enable files_external
files_external enabled
```
Check that S3 **\*** API is supported on your installation:
```bash
$ php occ files_external:backends storage amazons3
- name: Amazon S3
- identifier: amazons3
- configuration:
- bucket: text
- hostname: text
- port: text
- region: text
- use_ssl: boolean
- use_path_style: boolean
- legacy_auth: boolean
- storage_class: \OCA\Files_External\Lib\Storage\AmazonS3
- supported_authentication_backends:
- amazons3::accesskey
- authentication_configuration:
- amazons3::accesskey:
- key: text
- secret: password
```
Mount your S3-compatible Object Storage bucket on Nextcloud as a **OVH\_hp-bucket** mount point:
```bash
$ php occ files_external:create -c bucket=hp-bucket \
-c hostname=s3..io.cloud.ovh.net \
-c region= \
-c use_ssl=true \
-c use_path_style=false \
-c legacy_auth: false \
-c key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \
-c secret=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy \
OVH_hp-bucket amazons3 amazons3::accesskey
Storage created with id 4
```
Validate your settings:
```bash
$ php occ files_external:verify 4
- status: ok
- code: 0
- message
```
Verify and update the settings if necessary:
```bash
$ php occ files_external:list
+----------+----------------+-----------+---------------------+-----------------+---------+------------------+-------------------+
| Mount ID | Mount Point | Storage | Authentication Type | Configuration | Options | Applicable Users | Applicable Groups |
+----------+----------------+-----------+---------------------+-----------------+---------+------------------+-------------------+
| 4 | /OVH_hp-bucket | Amazon S3 | Access key | bucket: "nex.." | | All | |
+----------+--------------+-----------+---------------------+-----------------+---------+------------------+-------------------+
```
Start indexing the new storage:
```bash
$ php occ files:scan -vvv --path /admin/files/OVH_hp-bucket
Starting scan for user 1 out of 1 (admin)
Folder /admin/files/OVH_hp-bucket/
Folder /admin/files/OVH_hp-bucket/home
...
+---------+-------+--------------+
| Folders | Files | Elapsed time |
+---------+-------+--------------+
| 3 | 13 | 00:00:04 |
+---------+-------+--------------+
```
### Set your bucket as primary storage
Edit your `config/config.php` file and add:
```php
'objectstore' => array(
'class' => 'OC\\Files\\ObjectStore\\S3',
'arguments' => array(
'bucket' => 'hp-bucket',
'autocreate' => true,
'key' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
'secret' => 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy',
'hostname' => 's3.``.io.cloud.ovh.net',
'port' => 443,
'use_ssl' => true,
'region' => '``',
'use_path_style' => false
),
),
```
