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` (or `enableremote`), 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` - One of "none", "hybrid", "shared", or "pubkey".
|
|
See [[encryption]].
|
|
|
|
* `keyid` - Specifies the gpg key to use for [[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.
|
|
|
|
* `exporttree` - Set to "yes" to make this special remote usable
|
|
by [[git-annex-export]]. It will not be usable as a general-purpose
|
|
special remote.
|
|
|
|
* `annexobjects` - When set to "yes" along with "exporttree=yes",
|
|
this allows storing other objects in the remote along with the
|
|
exported tree. They will be stored under .git/annex/objects/ in the
|
|
remote.
|
|
|
|
* `chunk` - Enables [[chunking]] when storing large files.
|
|
|
|
* `chunksize` - Deprecated version of chunk parameter above.
|
|
Do not use for new remotes. It is not safe to change the chunksize
|
|
setting of an existing remote.
|
|
|
|
Setup example:
|
|
|
|
# WEBDAV_USERNAME=id@joeyh.name WEBDAV_PASSWORD=xxxxxxx git annex initremote box.com type=webdav url=https://dav.box.com/dav/git-annex chunk=10mb keyid=id@joeyh.name
