This special remote type stores file contents in a WebDAV server.
|
|
|
|
## configuration
|
|
|
|
The environment variables `WEBDAV_USERNAME` and `WEBDAV_PASSWORD` are used
|
|
to supply login credentials. You need to set these only when running
|
|
`git annex initremote`, as they will be cached in a file only you
|
|
can read inside the local git repository.
|
|
|
|
A number of parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` to configure
|
|
the webdav remote.
|
|
|
|
* `encryption` - Required. Either "none" to disable encryption (not recommended),
|
|
or a value that can be looked up (using gpg -k) to find a gpg encryption
|
|
key that will be given access to the remote, or "shared" which allows
|
|
every clone of the repository to access the encrypted data (use with caution).
|
|
|
|
Note that additional gpg keys can be given access to a remote by
|
|
running enableremote with the new key id. See [[encryption]].
|
|
|
|
* `embedcreds` - Optional. Set to "yes" embed the login credentials inside
|
|
the git repository, which allows other clones to also access them. This is
|
|
the default when gpg encryption is enabled; the credentials are stored
|
|
encrypted and only those with the repository's keys can access them.
|
|
|
|
It is not the default when using shared encryption, or no encryption.
|
|
Think carefully about who can access your repository before using
|
|
embedcreds without gpg encryption.
|
|
|
|
* `url` - Required. The URL to the WebDAV directory where files will be
|
|
stored. This can be a subdirectory of a larger WebDAV repository, and will
|
|
be created as needed. Use of a https URL is strongly
|
|
encouraged, since HTTP basic authentication is used.
|
|
|
|
* `chunksize` - Avoid storing files larger than the specified size in
|
|
WebDAV. For use when the WebDAV server has file size
|
|
limitations. The default is to never chunk files.
|
|
The value can use specified using any commonly used units.
|
|
Example: `chunksize=75 megabytes`
|
|
Note that enabling chunking on an existing remote with non-chunked
|
|
files is not recommended.
|
|
|
|
Setup example:
|
|
|
|
# WEBDAV_USERNAME=joey@kitenet.net WEBDAV_PASSWORD=xxxxxxx git annex initremote box.com type=webdav url=https://www.box.com/dav/git-annex chunksize=75mb encryption=joey@kitenet.net
