Can't access to a container

Hi Andreas,

In devstack you must use the v2.0 API of keystone, so your second command must be as follow :

fabien@ubuntu:~/devstack$ OS_TENANT_NAME=demo swift -A http://192.168.1.47:5000/v2.0 -V 2 -U demo -K wxcvbn list
mycontainer

If I not provide the API version, the command fails :
fabien@ubuntu:~/devstack$ OS_TENANT_NAME=demo swift -A http://192.168.1.47:5000/v2.0 -U demo -K wxcvbn list
Auth GET failed: http://192.168.1.47:5000/v2.0 200 OK

In devstack you can source the openrc file that contains default informations for tenant, username, and password.
Environnements variables will be set correctly.
fabien@ubuntu:~/devstack$ . openrc
fabien@ubuntu:~/devstack$ swift -A http://192.168.1.47:5000/v2.0 list
mycontainer

This is the same as the above command except that we use admin account and set environnement variables for this swift command:
fabien@ubuntu:~/devstack$ OS_USERNAME=admin OS_TENANT_NAME=admin USER_PASSWORD=wxcvbn swift -A http://192.168.1.47:5000/v2.0 post
admincontainer
fabien@ubuntu:~/devstack$ OS_USERNAME=admin OS_TENANT_NAME=admin USER_PASSWORD=wxcvbn swift -A http://192.168.1.47:5000/v2.0 list
admincontainer
I hope that will help you.
Regards

Hi Fabien,

thanks you for your help.

The command works:
root@ubuntu:~# swift list --os-auth-url http://10.1.1.37:5000/v2.0 --os-username admin --os-password password --os-tenant-name admin -V 2
TestContainer

An now, how can I get access to the container from externel programms? I want to store backups into a container. I must specify an storage path url like this:
example: <host>[:<port>]/<container<[/<prefix>]

Here my one:
IP:5000/v2.0/TestContainer

First, if I tried to acces through webbrowser I get the following:
<error message="The resource could not be found." code="404" title="Not Found"/>

Precaution, if I tried the following, I get:
http://ip:8080/v1/TestContainer
Unauthorized

I have to mount the container through the backup software. I will still get a failure.

Can someone tell me how to access to an container from external?

Hi Andreas,

You need to use the API of swift to access store/access backup on your swift account, you should have a look at:
http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/
If your backup software is not able to use directly the swift API it can be difficult to so, maybe you need
to develop a kind of middleware.
I've found this on github maybe it could help https://github.com/redbo/cloudfuse.
I cannot help you anymore ...

Hi Fabien,

I only need to know how do access to a container after setup a fresh devstack installation with swift.

root@ubuntu:~# swift list --os-auth-url http://10.1.1.37:5000/v2.0 --os-username admin --os-password password --os-tenant-name admin
TestContainer

It can't be so difficult.

OK I have just success upload a file into a container through cli:

root@ubuntu:/etc/swift# swift -A http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/v1.0 -U admin:admin -K admin list
testcontainer

root@ubuntu:/etc/swift# swift -A http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/v1.0 -U admin:admin -K admin upload testcontainer swift.conf
swift.conf

Know someone the correct options for the cyberduck program? I have already import the "swift unsecure" profile to get access through http instead https.
Perhaps there are other good swift clients for testing?
