Full text search with Apache Tika - not tested but config should work?
Network storage via bind mount capability (SMB/NFS)
This last one is a real pain. I've barely made any progress on it as the documentation is so opaque/sparse I can't tell if what I'm experiencing are bugs or by design.
I can technically get OpenCloud to use a bind-mounted share as the file storage, but some things do not work when I do that:
Some uploads just fail entirely
I'm unable to create Spaces, or share files/folders with other users (even though the shares/spaces are created - just cannot be accessed)
Trashing files seems broken
It does appear that some of these might be bugs, or implementation issues due to poor documentation.
New update: The OpenCloud devs today reiterated that using SMB/CIFS for storage is not supported and not even on their roadmap, and closed some discussions on the subject. Without external storage I kinda feel like this is dead in the water.
I'll have to try NFS as well, but at least for my purposes NFS was a bad idea (I'm using MergerFS on my NAS) so it's not likely to work either.
You need NFS 4.2 on both sides (client/server) xattr must work. i could install - but cannot create new folders or spaces. in the main folder i can create new collabora docs etc. truenas scale and proxmox 8 support nfs 4.2
I installed opencloud on proxmox with the helper script. Is it possible to change the Data directory anywhere afterwards without crashing the container or while the installation?
@d4niel1402 You might try setting the STORAGE_USERS_POSIX_ROOT env var in /etc/opencloud/opencloud.env to play around with that. But this is where I'm stuck - changing that will work in some ways but will break things like sharing, cause issues with Spaces, and might also cause some uploads to fail if uploading a large number of files.
If you are using an NFS share, then I certainly encourage you to experiment and to share your results.
@MickLesk I think we can release it. I'll be updating my PVE nodes to 9 very soon so I can continue with investigating how bind mounting of NFS shares can be configured - it seems some people are already doing it anyways.
We can merge it, as far as I'm concerned. I was never able to test it properly. Either I'm too stupid, or the thing just won't run on localhost. I don't want to connect it via domain/public. Maybe we should do a little error handling here, right? For example, I can press Enter or enter 192.168.1.1.
maybe another @community-scripts/contributor will take a look too?

@ffuhrnew If it works with NFS, I'm afraid I won't be able to test; I used to use NFS but I had too many stability issues due to also using MergerFS.
I suppose I could see if I can spin up a test NFS server on a disk that is not using MergerFS.
