Global Quota Nextcloud Instance

Giovannio_Palavra · November 28, 2023, 3:59pm

Hi, I’m trying to assign a global quota limit to nextcloud.
For example, if a limit of 1GB is assigned, the sum of the quota of all users must not exceed 1GB, after which the upload will be rejected.
I can’t find how to do this.

Attention, I don’t want to stipulate a quota value for each particular user, but a global value.
Example: Global limit = 1GB,
if:
user1 = 300MB
user2 = 500MB
user3 = 200MB
then:
then the upload will be rejected for any user

This is currently not possible at the moment.

I had worked on the topic for ObjectStorage (on regular disk, the default instance quota is the free space available on the disk), but it needs more work :

Allow to estimate free space when using object storage

With ObjectStorage there's no way to determine the free space for a bucket with …a limited storage quota, so it's hard to detect when you have a space issue (there's nothing like `disk_free_space`). It would be better if the object storage provider would provide us this information, but at least for S3 it's hard or impossible to get this information easily, so this can be an appropriate workaround in the meanwhile. ~~Using an AppConfig instead of a SystemConfig might be more flexible for admins to change the value, but it might also introduce a database overhead.~~ When using the `Local` storage regular `disk_free_space` is used instead. Still need to check if and how this affects external storages.

Thankyou.
someone knows where to find the class and method that calculate the quota by users ?
