Add support for Apache Libcloud as an Object Storage backend (Openstack Swift) (#810) · Issues · funkwhale / funkwhale

Add support for Apache Libcloud as an Object Storage backend (Openstack Swift)

What is the problem you are facing?

Django Storages supports multiple backends to store objects (music) in an Object Storage. Currently only s3boto (Amazon S3 Compatible Object Storage) is implemented.

It's very easy to support multiple object storage backends, all that is required is adding requirements and adding logic to the config system.

What are the possible drawbacks or issues with the requested changes?

Adding support for more storage backends adds more requirements to the project, and grows the container/deployment size and complexity.
