Apache Libcloud Adapter

The file_keeper:libcloud adapter allows you to use Apache Libcloud to connect to a wide range of cloud storage providers. Libcloud provides a unified interface for interacting with various storage services, simplifying integration and reducing vendor lock-in.

Overview

This adapter leverages the Libcloud library to provide storage functionality. You'll need to have Libcloud installed and configure it with the appropriate credentials for your chosen provider.

pip install 'file-keeper[libcloud]'

## or

pip install apache-libcloud

Initialization Example

Here's an example of how to initialize the Libcloud adapter:

storage = make_storage("my_libcloud_storage", {
    "type": "file_keeper:libcloud",
    "provider": "S3",
    "key": "***",
    "secret": "***",
    "container_name": "file-keeper",
    "initialize": True,
})

storage = make_storage("my_libcloud_storage", {
    "type": "file_keeper:libcloud",
    "provider": "MINIO",
    "key": "minioadmin",
    "secret": "minioadmin",
    "container_name": "file-keeper",
    "initialize": True,
    "params": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 9000,
        "secure": False,
    },
})

storage = make_storage("my_libcloud_storage", {
    "type": "file_keeper:libcloud",
    "provider": "AZURE_BLOBS",
    "key": "devstoreaccount1",
    "secret": "Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==",
    "container_name": "file-keeper",
    "initialize": True,
    "params": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 10000,
        "secure": False,
    },
})

Important Notes:

  • Replace the placeholder values (provider, host, port, secure, key, secret, container_name) with your actual provider credentials and configuration.
  • Refer to the Apache Libcloud documentation for a complete list of supported providers and their specific configuration options.
  • Ensure that the necessary Libcloud drivers are installed for your chosen provider.
