S3 storage leaving junk files for all to access

ℹ️ Support 📦 Appliances (Docker, Snappy, VM, NCP, AIO)

I installed an NCP LXC on my Proxmox cluster and successfully got my ceph cluster to allow an S3 bucket to be created by NCP. I have a small problem where all users have a directory in their Nextcloud home directory called cephs3 which is I think what I called the bucket. In that directory are hundreds of files starting with urn:oid:###. This is especially a problem because my Windows client throws an error every time it tries to sync a file with a : in it.

I can delete and start over if needed, or try a different flavor of Nextcloud. Though ceph has important data on it, this S3 setup is just in testing now. If I could hide that /cephs3 directory from all users that would make the error go away.

Interestingly, the files are of various contents. Most are around 1KB and seem like metadata. One is a 1.2GB file that, after being renamed, turned out to be a video from my phone camera sync.

Version wise, my admin page says 30.0.4. NCP Panel says 1.55.3 auto.

The appearance of this folder in your user accounts suggest you have a global External Storage mount called cephs3 configured in Nextcloud.

However, the urn:oid suggests you are also utilizing an S3 bucket you either currently or formally configured as Primary Storage in Nextcloud.

These are two very different things. And the same S3 bucket should never be used for both.

See the File sharing section of the Admin Manual at https://docs.nextcloud.com. There are sections for both External Storage and Primary Storage.

We can only guess what you’re actively using since you didn’t fill out the support template. :wink:

Images since I couldn’t post pics on last post. Might I have two external storage entries competing?

As I suspected, between the above and your screen shots of your External Storage config, you are trying to use the same S3 bucket for both Primary Storage and External Storage.

What you’re doing doesn’t make any sense and it’s the cause of what you’re experiencing. :wink:

What are you trying to accomplish here?

See Using Object Storage as Primary Storage.

If I could hide that /cephs3 directory from all users that would make the error go away.

The only reason users are seeing this is because you set-up External Storage. It sounds like you don’t want External Storage at all.

The goal is to have all the storage within Nextcloud be stored on the S3 storage and very little within the VM. If I remove the entry on the UI for the external storage, should that fix the /cephs3 directory issue and my sync errors?

The goal is to have all the storage within Nextcloud be stored on the S3 storage and very little within the VM.

So you want to use object storage as Primary Storage. (No External Storage involved).

If I remove the entry on the UI for the external storage, should that fix the /cephs3 directory issue and my sync errors?

Yes. Though you may have some clean-up to do. So I’d suggest backing up any important data and starting from a clean setup (cleared bucket, cleared Nextcloud database, new installation). Those urn:oid files are not meant to ever be visible or touched directly to clients. If any of them were touched/deleted directly while exposed like that, you will have problems down the road.

Thanks for clearing this up. I removed the External Storage entry from the admin section and left the storage in the config file. That /cephs3 directory disappeared and the rest is working as expected with increasing data use to my Nextcloud files and no increase to the VM. I know its all going into ceph.
