Requirements

Compatibility with core CKAN versions:

Installation

To install ckanext-linked-storage:

1. Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example:

. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

2. Clone the source and install it on the virtualenv:

    git clone https://github.com/USEPA/ckanext-linked-storage.git    
    cd ckanext-linked-storage    
    pip install -e .    

3. Add linked_storage to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at /etc/ckan/default/ckan.ini).

4. Add storage locations via ckanext.linked_storage.mountpoints and ckanext.linked_storage.net_paths in the CKAN config file

5. Restart CKAN

Adding resources using linked storage

To create a resource using this functionality via the API call resource_create with url_type = 'link-storage' and provide the path to the resource either as the url or link_path. An example can be seen below:

resource_create(package_id='some package', name='a linked resource package', url_type='link-storage', link_path="\\some-host\share\linked_file.csv" )

Config settings

To connect resources using the linked storage system the available mounted resources need to be defined. This is done using two of the configuration inputs.
