xmldirector.connector supports mounting storages like S3, Webdav backend or local filesystem into Plone
Project description
xmldirector.connector
xmldirector.plonecore integrates Plone 5 with
local filesystem
WebDAV-backed backend
AWS S3
remote servers over SFTP/SSH
xmldirector.plonecore provides a Connector content-type that mounts a particular storage into Plone.
No support for indexing and search mounted content.
Requirements
Plone 5.2 with Python 2.7 and Python 3.6 (tested)
Supported backends:
eXist-db
Base-X
OwnCloud
Alfresco
Marklogic Server
AWS S3
Cloud federation services
Otixo.com
Storagemadeeasy.com
Configuration
Goto the Plone control panel and click on the XML-Director Connector configlet and configure the your service
ExistDB
webdav://localhost:6080/existdb/webdav/db
username and password required to access your XML database over WebDAV
BaseX
webdav://localhost:8984/webdav
username and password required to access your XML database over WebDAV
Owncloud
webdav://hostname:port/remote.php/webdav
username and password required to access your Owncloud instance over WebDAV
Alfresco
webdav://hostname:port/webdav
username and password required to access your Alfresco instance over WebDAV
Local filesystem
file:///path/to/some/directory
no support for credentials, the referenced filesystem must be readable (and writable)
AWS S3
s3://bucketname
enter your AWS access key as username and the AWS secret key as password (You need to install the Python package fs-s3fs through buildout).
SSH/SFTP
ssh://hostname.com or sftp://hostname.com (You need to install the Python package fs.sshfs through buildout).
API notes
The implementation of xmldirector.connector is heavily backed by the PyFilesystem 2 API. Every Connector instance in Plone gives you access to the mounted storage through the handle = connector.get_handle() call which is instance of fs.base.FS. Check https://docs.pyfilesystem.org for details.
Security
The mounted storage gives you access to all contents inside the mounted subtree. The mount is sandboxes (https://docs.pyfilesystem.org/en/latest/concepts.html#sandboxing). So you can not escape and access content outside the mounted storage.
Available drivers
Connectivity with other backend is accomplished through dedicated driverse that implementation the API layer between PyFilesystem 2 and the related backend. See https://www.pyfilesystem.org/page/index-of-filesystems/ for all available drivers.
