Problem/Justification
I use TrueNAS in China. My current cloud backup provider has slow access speeds. I hope to add cloud backup credentials for Alibaba Cloud OSS. As far as I know, Rclone fully supports Alibaba Cloud (Aliyun) Object Storage System (OSS) internally. I currently modify cloud_sync.py and only need to add one parameter to achieve this.
Impact
The backup speed and reliability of all TrueNAS users in China will be greatly improved
User Story
You can refer to my blog post “TrueNas Cloud Synchronizes Data to Alibaba Cloud OSS”. I modified the /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/middlewared/plugins/cloud_sync.py script to use Alibaba Cloud OSS like Amazon S3 service. However, the script will be overwritten after each system update. I hope to add new features. and I know this doesn’t fit the development architecture, but I just want to show that this feature should be simple to develop.
