The search service takes a `from` offset next to the page size and applies it after the cross-space merge; every space answers the full prefix up to from+size, since an offset cannot be distributed. Pages are stable: both engines and the merge break score ties by id, and OpenSearch counts every match (track_total_hits). No engine pages beyond the first 10000 matches, the OpenSearch result window, so a from and size reaching beyond it are rejected on both engines. `page_size` becomes optional on the wire: absent is the default of 200, 0 asks for no matches, -1 for all; WebDAV and the tags listing set it accordingly, and the WebDAV report's `<oc:offset>`, parsed since the report exists and never read, now pages the merged list. The gRPC wrapper passes the request through and keys its cache by the whole request.
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
If you find a security-related issue, please contact security@opencloud.eu immediately.
