How to backup to OVH Cloud Archive

Following up the discussion fromhttps://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1392/what-s-coming-in-3-0/8

For a start, I couldn't figure out how to sign up with Cloud Storage. I signed up atovh.com (United States) and there is no Cloud Storage option. I guess this is available in a few regions?
For those, who have managed to sign up for Cloud Storage, I suspect this is just a SSH mountable directory. You can follow the instructions athttps://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-sshfs-to-mount-remote-file-systems-over-ssh to mount the directory at say "/var/backups". You can then use Cloudron's file system backend to backup files to OVH. But I cannot confirm if this works since I haven't tried this myself.

Hey @girish
Thanks for the topic.
The OVH solution that I want to use is this one :
https://www.ovh.com/world/public-cloud/storage/cloud-archive/To enable it, you need an account, then a tenant on the Openstack Part of OVH.
You'r tutorial is quite intresting for one part but in case of failing backup (OVH unavailabled by exemple, that implied that we need to check on the server manually and not directly on the cloudron interface with swift/rsync compatibilities. But I can undestand that not easy to implement their solution..The other solution is this one :https://www.ovh.com/world/public-cloud/storage/object-storage/ wich is simply the swift API.
I'm off for few days with limited access to my server. I will try to check your solution ASAP ! :-)

Okay so, the best way is to mount the cold backup bucket with thishttps://github.com/ovh/svfs and try to backup localy.
But this imply to let cloudron back up localy and the system server need to handdle the upload of backup.
If cloudron handle the backup upload that would be more secured.
There ishttps://cloud.scaleway.com witch is providing S3 storage for beta testing free but not in France saddly ... (Region NL)

Else, there is rclone wich handdle pretty well ovh, scaleway and minio server. What about implement the rclone control in the Webmin ?
