Basic webDAV support for backups + Backup storage stats #9
Conversation
Pending to add URL validator
Pending to add "Advanced" section with buttonList: * to upload remote server certificate * to set client certificate authentication (cert+password)
Pending to create and retrieve db entries for client authentication (cert+password).
each mount point can be specified in its own template fragment
**NOTES** * consider using `df -P -B1` to get bytes as unit (eluding the \*1024 operation on scripts using df output) * consider extra checks on file open
**NOTES** * Consider using [Number::Bytes::Human](http://search.cpan.org/~dagobert/Number-Bytes-Human/Human.pm). Available from EPEL (*perl-Number-Bytes-Human*: Convert byte count to human readable format) * sub `format_bytes` adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/511785/
**NOTES** * Units expressed in KB, MB... for user convenience, but should be KiB, MiB...
Thanks to Rob Bosch

Be patient, I need a little time to review the whole thing :) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I really like the work!
Testing the pull request i only had one problem: couldn't get to work davfs mount without the server pem linked inside davfs2.conf.
What server did you use to test it?
In the meanwhile, I've rewritten a bit the git history, see https://github.com/gsanchietti/nethserver-backup-data/commits/dnutan-master

It was tested mainly with a nextcloud server with self-signed certificate, thus I also had to link the certificate to davfs2.conf. But it should work as is with servers that are using valid certificates (AFAIK @robb can confirm that). At the moment upload of certificates is not supported due to lack of knowledge on nethgui (see http://community.nethserver.org/t/webdav-as-backup-destination/5360). But if requested and with a bit of help from devteam I think I could do it following PKI module as example. |
