Important

  • When a user Bob deploys the application, this template auto-creates an access key for Bob and uses this access key to create the OBS bucket. The auto-created access key is auto-deleted when Bob deletes the application (i.e., auto_create_access_key is set by default).

  • Nextcloud app is configured to use the auto-created access key of Bob to upload objects in the OBS bucket.

  • When users undeploy the application, all objects in the OBS bucket are deleted (i.e., force_destroy is set to true by default).

  • See How to create an Object Storage for more details.

1.2. (Optional) Configure Nextcloud app

  • download_url: Provide the URL to download nextcloud. Defaults to https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/latest.tar.bz2.

  • datadir: Specify the location to store Nextcloud data. Default to: /mnt/nc-data.

  • password: Specify admin password for Nextcloud. The password is auto-generated if not specified.

Figure 9. Nextcloud app access

  1. Access nextcloud using DNS:

If dns_name is specified, one DNS public zone myexample.com. with 2 record sets type A myexample.com. and www.myexample.com. will be created on Open Telekom Cloud. The record sets point to the floating IP (e.g., 80.158.45.177):

Note

The DNS zone takes effect only after you update the nameservers of your domain at the domain registrar to: ns1.open-telekom-cloud.com and ns2.open-telekom-cloud.com.
