Introduce a dedicated Key rule (Char+ ("." Char+)*) so property
restriction keys can contain dots. Queries like
audio.artist:Motörhead or photo.cameraMake:Apple now parse.
Goal: keep the data structure aligned with the query namespace.
A driveItem exposes nested fields as dotted paths in its API
response (photo.cameraMake, location.latitude); users should be
able to query with the same path, without admin-configured slot
mappings or alias tables like Microsoft requires.
Both bleve and OpenSearch already treat dots as the nesting
separator for field paths and pass unknown keys through
unchanged — only the KQL grammar blocked dotted keys via
Char <- [A-Za-z]. The new Key rule lifts that restriction; no
compiler changes or field-alias maintenance is needed.
Values are unaffected — dots in values still parse as literal
characters.
Server Backend
Tip
For general information about OpenCloud and how to install please visit OpenCloud on Github and OpenCloud GmbH.
This is the main repository of the OpenCloud server. It contains the golang codebase for the backend services.
Getting Involved
The OpenCloud server is released under Apache 2.0. The project is thrilled to receive contributions in all forms. Start hacking now, there are many ways to get involved such as:
- Reporting issues or bugs
- Requesting features
- Writing documentation
- Writing code or extend our tests
- Reviewing code
- Helping others in the community
Every contribution is meaningful and appreciated! Please refer to our Contribution Guidelines if you want to get started.
Build OpenCloud
To build the backend, follow these instructions:
Generate the assets needed by e.g., the web UI and the builtin IDP
make generate
Then compile the opencloud binary
make -C opencloud build
That will produce the binary opencloud/bin/opencloud. It can be started as a local test instance right away with a two step command:
opencloud/bin/opencloud init && opencloud/bin/opencloud server
This creates a server configuration (by default in $HOME/.opencloud) and starts the server.
For more setup- and installation options consult the Development Documentation.
Technology
Important information for contributors about the technology in use.
Authentication
The OpenCloud backend authenticates users via OpenID Connect using either an external IdP like Keycloak or the embedded LibreGraph Connect identity provider.
Database
The OpenCloud backend does not use a database. It stores all data in the filesystem. By default, the root directory of the backend is $HOME/.opencloud/.
Security
