Example for SQLite: `find sql/sqlite/ -type f -iname '*.sql' -print | sort -n | xargs cat | sqlite3 sftpgo.db`.
After applying these scripts, your database structure is the same as the one obtained using `initprovider` for new installations, so from now on, you don't have to manually upgrade your database anymore.
The `memory` provider can load users from a dump obtained using the `dumpdata` REST API. The path to this dump file can be configured using the dataprovider `name` configuration key. It will be loaded at startup and can be reloaded on demand sending a `SIGHUP` signal on Unix based systems and a `paramchange` request to the running service on Windows. The `memory` provider will not modify the provided file so quota usage and last login will not be persisted.

### Google Cloud Storage backend
Each user can be mapped with a Google Cloud Storage bucket or a bucket virtual folder. This way, the mapped bucket/virtual folder is exposed over SFTP/SCP. This backend is very similar to the S3 backend, and it has the same limitations. More information about S3 integration can be found [here](./docs/google-cloud-storage.md).

@ -65,7 +65,7 @@ The configuration file contains the following sections:
- `git-receive-pack`, `git-upload-pack`, `git-upload-archive`. These commands enable support for Git repositories over SSH. They need to be installed and in your system's `PATH`. Git commands are not allowed inside virtual folders or inside directories with file extensions filters.
- `rsync`. The `rsync` command needs to be installed and in your system's `PATH`. We cannot avoid that rsync creates symlinks, so if the user has the permission to create symlinks, we add the option `--safe-links` to the received rsync command if it is not already set. This should prevent creating symlinks that point outside the home dir. If the user cannot create symlinks, we add the option `--munge-links` if it is not already set. This should make symlinks unusable (but manually recoverable). The `rsync` command interacts with the filesystem directly and it is not aware of virtual folders and file extensions filters, so it will be automatically disabled for users with these features enabled.
- `keyboard_interactive_auth_program`, string. Absolute path to an external program to use for keyboard interactive authentication. See the "Keyboard Interactive Authentication" paragraph for more details.
- `proxy_protocol`, integer. Support for [HAProxy PROXY protocol](https://www.haproxy.org/download/1.8/doc/proxy-protocol.txt). If you are running SFTPGo behind a proxy server such as HAProxy, AWS ELB or NGNIX, you can enable the proxy protocol. It provides a convenient way to safely transport connection information such as a client's address across multiple layers of NAT or TCP proxies to get the real client IP address instead of the proxy IP. Both protocol version 1 and 2 are supported. If the proxy protocol is enabled in SFTPGo then you have to enable the protocol in your proxy configuration too. For example, for HAProxy, add `send-proxy` or `send-proxy-v2` to each server configuration line. The following modes are supported:

To connect SFTPGo to Google Cloud Storage, you can use use the Application Default Credentials (ADC) strategy to try to find your application's credentials automatically or you can explicitly provide a JSON credentials file that you can obtain from the Google Cloud Console. Take a look [here](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production#providing_credentials_to_your_application) for details.
Specifying a different `key_prefix`, you can assign different virtual folders of the same bucket to different users. This is similar to a chroot directory for local filesystem. Each SFTP/SCP user can only access the assigned virtual folder and its contents. The virtual folder identified by `key_prefix` does not need to be pre-created.
You can optionally specify a [storage class](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes) too. Leave it blank to use the default storage class.
The configured bucket must exist.
This backend is very similar to the [S3](./s3.md) backend, and it has the same limitations

Each SFTP/SCP user can only access the assigned virtual folder and its contents. The virtual folder identified by `key_prefix` does not need to be pre-created.
SFTPGo uses multipart uploads and parallel downloads for storing and retrieving files from S3.
The configured bucket must exist.
To connect SFTPGo to AWS, you need to specify credentials, and a `region` is required too. Here is the list of available [AWS regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-regions-availability-zones.html#concepts-available-regions). For example, if your bucket is at `Frankfurt`, you have to set the region to `eu-central-1`. You can specify an AWS [storage class](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/storage-class-intro.html) too. Leave it blank to use the default AWS storage class. An endpoint is required if you are connecting to a Compatible AWS Storage such as [MinIO](https://min.io/).
