How to switch off local storage on OwnCloud completely


I am using ownCloud for several users. So far all the data was stored on a machine drive. I want to store all the data on Amazon S3 (and none on the local machine).

How can I switch off local storage and make Amazon S3 folder default?

The search did not return any meaningful results other than instructions on how to simply add S3 storage


Solution

  • The official ownCloud documentation provide the relevant configuration here: https://doc.owncloud.com/server/9.1/admin_manual/enterprise_external_storage/s3_swift_as_primary_object_store_configuration.html#configuration

    unfortunately I run the community edition where S3 is not supported so I haven't had yet a chance to test such instructions.
