These new APIs match the web client features.
I'm aware that some API do not follow REST best practises.
I want to avoid things likes "/user/folders/<path>"
where "path" must be encoded and making it optional create issues, so
I defined resources as query parameters instead of path parameters
combined with server side processing I can now list a directory with
about 100.000 files in less than 2 seconds without losing client side
filtering and pagination
If you prefer to auto-create the first admin you can enable the
"create_default_admin" configuration key and SFTPGo will work as before.
You can also create the first admin by loading initial data: now you can
set both username and password, before you could only change the password
X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-Proto headers will be ignored
for hosts not included in this list.
This is a backward incompatible change, before the proxy headers were
always used
SFTPGo requires that the user's home directory, virtual folder root,
and intermediate paths to virtual folders exist to work properly.
If you already know that the required directories exist, disabling
these checks will speed up login.
Enabling the "skip_natural_keys_validation" data provider setting,
the natural keys for REST API/Web Admin as usernames, admin names,
folder names are not restricted to unreserved URI chars
Fixes#334#308
For each user you can now configure:
- TLS certificate auth
- TLS certificate auth and password
- Password auth
For TLS auth, the certificate common name must match the name provided
using the "USER" FTP command
- add JWT authentication
- admins are now stored inside the data provider
- admin access can be restricted based on the source IP: both proxy
header and connection IP are checked
- deprecate REST API CLI: it is not relevant anymore
Some other changes to the REST API can still happen before releasing
SFTPGo 2.0.0
Fixes#197
also gcs credentials are now encrypted, both on disk and inside the
provider.
Data provider is automatically migrated and load data will accept
old format too but you should upgrade to the new format to avoid future
issues
