Storage configuration

ClawIO splits namespace operations from data handling into two different controllers:

• The data controller handles the upload and download of files.
• The metadata controller handles metadata operations: creating dirs, moving and deleting files, initializing the home directory...

The current storages are the following:

• The simple storage connects to the underlying local filesystem and retrieves all the metadata from it.
• The ocsql storage connects to the underlying local filesystem and also handles the ownCloud Sync Protocl using a MySQL/MariaDB database.

We plan to develop more storage backends for object storages.

To change the storage you to change the data and metadata controllers in the configuration file:

{
 "data": {
    "type": "simple",
  },
 "metadata": {
    "type": "simple",
}
