Openkm with S3 Protocol Repository

[jhonny_1904]

Hi,

we just buy a server object storage, and we want to use it as repository for openkm using S3 protocol.
Is it possible with openkm?

In Amazon WS yes, because you can mount S3 as a folder disk, but seems this is not your case and you have bought some kind of hardware. For it should be necessary create a new Datastorage class.

Can you share with us the paper of this hardware. I have read something in the past about Object storage, where documents have it's own UUID ( not path ) and seems might be useful for scalability ,anyway are other solutions for large disk ( https://cloudian.com/blog/object-storag ... e-storage/ ), but not much else, really do you have a PB scenario ?

For what I read in the past you must access from API. In terms of a DMS have some disadvantages does not watch the file directly, because for all the operation must make an API call, meanwhile in the disk we have the path ready to be used.

OpenKM have a configuration to use database as a repository, in this case should be something similar writing a news class for working with this API.

Hi Jlort,

Thanks for your response.
We use Hitachi Content Platform, instead of cloudian, but actually those same because we use standard S3 protocol. Please find below the source

It connect not through API, but through S3 Procotol.
So in the application we need put
- access key ID,
- secret access key and
- endpoint address
We can S3 browser application for testing the connection.
Just for information, logicaldoc alredy has this setting https://docs.logicaldoc.com/en/settings/repositories But only to aws s3. But i think if we can change the endpoin address, it can connect to private object storage.
