Openstack connector

[FTwex]

What do you think about using an openstack connector ?

We could build one or use pkgcloud which provide access to multiple object storage plateform : Amazon, Azure, Google, HP, Openstack and Rackspace.

a first integration of pkgcloud could be to provide S3 service in unifile

I'm always open to new connector!

About the lib, its API lacks some functions we'll need to implements Unifile interface (like .stat()) but we could use it for the rest of the API.

@FTwex, would you like to try? 😉

[FTwex]

Otherwise we may use the official AWS SDK
The problem is that it's for all AWS services so it's not lightweight...but with that we have all the methods for Unifile interface (including stats)

[JbIPS]

Yes that's another approach. My favorite is the REST API so we have exactly what we want with no extra weight.

[FTwex]

Ok they have an REST API
I could implement it directly without the sdk

[FTwex]

Should I build this new connector as a new package (separate repo like silexlabs/unifile-webdav) or as Unifile lib?

[JbIPS]

Since you're the creator of this lib, I think you should keep it under your account.

But please make a PR in Unifile Readme to link to your project 😉

Thank your for your help!
