Create a full loop of documentation for rclone about, backends overview
and individual backend pages.
Discussion:
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/4774 relates
Previously pull was requested, in part, under ref
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/4801
Notes:
Introduce a tentative draft see-link format the end of sections to try
rather than lots of in-para links.
Update about.go incl link to list of backends not supporting about.
In list of backends not supporting about, include link to about command
reference.
I appreciate there may be decisions to make going forward about whether
command links should be code formatted, and using proper pretty url
links, but I have fudged that for now.
Update backend pages that do not support about with wording used
previously for ftp - it is in passive voice but I can live with it. (my
own wording and fault). The note is applied to a limitations section. If
one does not already exist it is created (even if there are other
limitations with their own sections)
Currently credentials are required to download a public bucket file
which is not really necessary and makes automated usage more complex.
Add a new option "anonymous" which when enabled configures the gcs
backend to use an anonymous HTTP client. This of course only works
for read access and trying to write will lead to errors like that:
"googleapi: Error 401: Anonymous caller does not not have
storage.objects.create access to the Google Cloud Storage object.",
as expected. By default the anonymous access option is disabled so that
the GCS Application Default Credentials are still used by default as
before and an error is given if they can't be found.
Before this code we were settig the headers on the PUT request. However this isn't where GCS needs them.
After this fix we set the headers in the object upload request itself.
This means that we only support a limited range of headers
- Cache-Control
- Content-Disposition
- Content-Encoding
- Content-Language
- Content-Type
- X-Goog-Meta-
Note for the last of those are for setting custom metadata in the form
"X-Goog-Meta-Key: value".
This introduces a new config variable bucket_policy_only. If this is
set then rclone:
- ignores ACLs set on buckets
- ignores ACLs set on objects
- creates buckets with Bucket Policy Only set
Fall back to default application credentials when all other credentials sources fail
This change allows users with default application credentials
configured (notably when running on google compute instances) to
dispense with explicitly configuring google cloud storage credentials
in rclone's own configuration.
* Add gcs-location and gcs-storage-class options for Google Cloud Storage
* Added config options (same as S3)
* Updated configuration example in documentation for Google Cloud Storage
