<h1>OpenStack Object Storage<a class="headerlink" href="#openstack-object-storage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>OpenStack Object Storage is used to connect to an OpenStack Swift server, or to
Rackspace. Two authentication mechanisms are available: one is the generic
OpenStack mechanism, and the other is used exclusively for Rackspace, a provider
of object storage that uses the OpenStack Swift protocol.</p>
<p>The OpenStack authentication mechanism uses the OpenStack Keystone v2
protocol. Your Nextcloud configuration needs:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><strong>Bucket</strong>. This is user-defined; think of it as a subdirectory of your total
storage. The bucket will be created if it does not exist.</li>
<li><strong>Username</strong> of your account.</li>
<li><strong>Password</strong> of your account.</li>
<li><strong>Tenant name</strong> of your account. (A tenant is similar to a user group.)</li>
<li><strong>Identity Endpoint URL</strong>, the URL to log in to your OpenStack account.</li>
</ul>
<div class="figure">
<img alt="Openstack configuration." src="../../_images/openstack.png" />
</div>
<p>The Rackspace authentication mechanism requires:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><strong>Bucket</strong></li>
<li><strong>Username</strong></li>
<li><strong>API key</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p>You must also enter the term <strong>cloudFiles</strong> in the <strong>Service name</strong> field.</p>
<div class="figure">
<img alt="Openstack configuration." src="../../_images/rackspace.png" />
</div>
<p>It may be necessary to specify a <strong>Region</strong>. Your region should be named in
your account information, and you can read about Rackspace regions at
<a class="reference external" href="https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/about-regions/">About Regions</a>.</p>
<p>The timeout of HTTP requests is set in the <strong>Request timeout</strong> field, in
seconds.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="../external_storage_configuration_gui.html"><em>Configuring External Storage (GUI)</em></a> for additional mount
options and information.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="auth_mechanisms.html"><em>External Storage authentication mechanisms</em></a> for more information on authentication schemes.</p>
