WebDAV storage adapter for Ghost

A WebDAV storage adapter for the Ghost publishing platform 3.x

Installation

npm install ghost-webdav-storage-adapter
mkdir -p ./content/adapters/storage/webdav
cp -v ./node_modules/ghost-webdav-storage-adapter/dist/*.js ./content/adapters/storage/webdav

Configuration

Configure the WebDAV storage adapter by adding the following lines to the Ghost config file.

{
  "storage": {
    "active": "webdav",
    "webdav": {
      "url": "URL_TO_YOUR_WEBDAV_SERVER",
      "username": "YOUR_WEBDAV_USERNAME",
      "password": "YOUR_WEBDAV_PASSWORD",
      "pathPrefix": "YOUR_PATH_PREFIX",
      "storagePathPrefix": "YOUR_STORAGE_PATH_PREFIX"
    }
  }
}

NOTE: username, password, pathPrefix and storagePathPrefix are all optional.

The username and password configuration parameters are used in the Basic Auth access authentication on the WebDAV server.

Use a pathPrefix if you prefer to limit access to the WebDAV server to a subtree. E.g. with a pathPrefix of /ghost all files will be stored under /ghost and the adapter won't allow access to anything on the WebDAV server outside of /ghost.

This adapter returns relative URLs for uploaded files. Requests to retrieve the file will be handled by Ghost as if they are stored on a local file system. This requires the returned URLs to start with the same prefix as Ghost's local storage adapter: /content/images. This is the default value for storagePathPrefix but you can provide a different prefix. Don't forget to create a Ghost route that routes requests for the prefix to the images store.

Via environment variables

Alternatively, you can configure the WebDAV storage adapter by setting the following environment variables:

WEBDAV_SERVER_URL
WEBDAV_USERNAME // optional
WEBDAV_PASSWORD // optional
WEBDAV_PATH_PREFIX // optional
WEBDAV_STORAGE_PATH_PREFIX // optional

Debugging

To debug the WebDAV storage adapter you can set environment variable DEBUG to webdav so that the adapter will log debug messages to standard out.
