OCS Service

Abstract

The ocs service (open collaboration services) serves one purpose: it has an endpoint for signing keys which the web frontend accesses when uploading data.

Table of Contents

Signing-Keys Endpoint

The ocs service contains an endpoint /cloud/user/signing-key on which a user can GET a signing key. Note, this functionality might be deprecated or moved in the future.

Signing-Keys Store

To authenticate presigned URLs the proxy service needs to read the signing keys from a store that is populated by the ocs service. Possible stores that can be configured via OCS_PRESIGNEDURL_SIGNING_KEYS_STORE are:

  • nats-js-kv: Stores data using key-value-store feature of nats jetstream
  • redis-sentinel: Stores data in a configured Redis Sentinel cluster.
  • ocisstoreservice: Stores data in the legacy ocis store service. Requires setting OCS_PRESIGNEDURL_SIGNING_KEYS_STORE_NODES to com.owncloud.api.store.

The memory store cannot be used as it does not share the memory from the ocs service signing key memory store, even in a single process.

Make sure to configure the same store in the proxy service.

Store specific notes:

  • When using redis-sentinel, the Redis master to use is configured via e.g. OCS_PRESIGNEDURL_SIGNING_KEYS_STORE_NODES in the form of <sentinel-host>:<sentinel-port>/<redis-master> like 10.10.0.200:26379/mymaster.
  • When using nats-js-kv it is recommended to set PROXY_PRESIGNEDURL_SIGNING_KEYS_STORE_NODES to the same value as OCS_PRESIGNEDURL_SIGNING_KEYS_STORE_NODES. That way the proxy uses the same nats instance as the ocs service.
  • When using ocisstoreservice the OCS_PRESIGNEDURL_SIGNING_KEYS_STORE_NODES must be set to the service name com.owncloud.api.store. It does not support TTL and stores the presigning keys indefinitely. Also, the store service needs to be started.

Environment Variables

Name Type Default Value Description
OCIS_TRACING_ENABLED
OCS_TRACING_ENABLED
bool false Activates tracing.
OCIS_TRACING_TYPE
OCS_TRACING_TYPE
string The type of tracing. Defaults to ‘’, which is the same as ‘jaeger’. Allowed tracing types are ‘jaeger’ and ’’ as of now.
OCIS_TRACING_ENDPOINT
OCS_TRACING_ENDPOINT
string The endpoint of the tracing agent.
OCIS_TRACING_COLLECTOR
OCS_TRACING_COLLECTOR
string The HTTP endpoint for sending spans directly to a collector, i.e. http://jaeger-collector:14268/api/traces. Only used if the tracing endpoint is unset.
OCIS_LOG_LEVEL
OCS_LOG_LEVEL
string The log level. Valid values are: ‘panic’, ‘fatal’, ’error’, ‘warn’, ‘info’, ‘debug’, ’trace’.
OCIS_LOG_PRETTY
OCS_LOG_PRETTY
bool false Activates pretty log output.
OCIS_LOG_COLOR
OCS_LOG_COLOR
bool false Activates colorized log output.
OCIS_LOG_FILE
OCS_LOG_FILE
string The path to the log file. Activates logging to this file if set.
OCS_DEBUG_ADDR string 127.0.0.1:9114 Bind address of the debug server, where metrics, health, config and debug endpoints will be exposed.
OCS_DEBUG_TOKEN string Token to secure the metrics endpoint.
OCS_DEBUG_PPROF bool false Enables pprof, which can be used for profiling.
OCS_DEBUG_ZPAGES bool false Enables zpages, which can be used for collecting and viewing in-memory traces.
OCS_HTTP_ADDR string 127.0.0.1:9110 The bind address of the HTTP service.
OCS_HTTP_ROOT string /ocs Subdirectory that serves as the root for this HTTP service.
