--- title: "QingStor" description: "Rclone docs for QingStor Object Storage" versionIntroduced: "v1.38" --- # {{< icon "fas fa-hdd" >}} QingStor Paths are specified as `remote:bucket` (or `remote:` for the `lsd` command.) You may put subdirectories in too, e.g. `remote:bucket/path/to/dir`. ## Configuration Here is an example of making an QingStor configuration. First run rclone config This will guide you through an interactive setup process. ``` No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote r) Rename remote c) Copy remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/r/c/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX / QingStor Object Storage \ "qingstor" [snip] Storage> qingstor Get QingStor credentials from runtime. Only applies if access_key_id and secret_access_key is blank. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value 1 / Enter QingStor credentials in the next step \ "false" 2 / Get QingStor credentials from the environment (env vars or IAM) \ "true" env_auth> 1 QingStor Access Key ID - leave blank for anonymous access or runtime credentials. access_key_id> access_key QingStor Secret Access Key (password) - leave blank for anonymous access or runtime credentials. secret_access_key> secret_key Enter an endpoint URL to connection QingStor API. Leave blank will use the default value "https://qingstor.com:443" endpoint> Zone connect to. Default is "pek3a". Choose a number from below, or type in your own value / The Beijing (China) Three Zone 1 | Needs location constraint pek3a. \ "pek3a" / The Shanghai (China) First Zone 2 | Needs location constraint sh1a. \ "sh1a" zone> 1 Number of connection retry. Leave blank will use the default value "3". connection_retries> Remote config -------------------- [remote] env_auth = false access_key_id = access_key secret_access_key = secret_key endpoint = zone = pek3a connection_retries = -------------------- y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y ``` This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this See all buckets rclone lsd remote: Make a new bucket rclone mkdir remote:bucket List the contents of a bucket rclone ls remote:bucket Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote bucket, deleting any excess files in the bucket. rclone sync -i /home/local/directory remote:bucket ### --fast-list This remote supports `--fast-list` which allows you to use fewer transactions in exchange for more memory. See the [rclone docs](/docs/#fast-list) for more details. ### Multipart uploads rclone supports multipart uploads with QingStor which means that it can upload files bigger than 5 GiB. Note that files uploaded with multipart upload don't have an MD5SUM. Note that incomplete multipart uploads older than 24 hours can be removed with `rclone cleanup remote:bucket` just for one bucket `rclone cleanup remote:` for all buckets. QingStor does not ever remove incomplete multipart uploads so it may be necessary to run this from time to time. ### Buckets and Zone With QingStor you can list buckets (`rclone lsd`) using any zone, but you can only access the content of a bucket from the zone it was created in. If you attempt to access a bucket from the wrong zone, you will get an error, `incorrect zone, the bucket is not in 'XXX' zone`. ### Authentication There are two ways to supply `rclone` with a set of QingStor credentials. In order of precedence: - Directly in the rclone configuration file (as configured by `rclone config`) - set `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key` - Runtime configuration: - set `env_auth` to `true` in the config file - Exporting the following environment variables before running `rclone` - Access Key ID: `QS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` or `QS_ACCESS_KEY` - Secret Access Key: `QS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` or `QS_SECRET_KEY` ### Restricted filename characters The control characters 0x00-0x1F and / are replaced as in the [default restricted characters set](/overview/#restricted-characters). Note that 0x7F is not replaced. Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](/overview/#invalid-utf8), as they can't be used in JSON strings. {{< rem autogenerated options start" - DO NOT EDIT - instead edit fs.RegInfo in backend/qingstor/qingstor.go then run make backenddocs" >}} ### Standard options Here are the Standard options specific to qingstor (QingCloud Object Storage). #### --qingstor-env-auth Get QingStor credentials from runtime. Only applies if access_key_id and secret_access_key is blank. Properties: - Config: env_auth - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_ENV_AUTH - Type: bool - Default: false - Examples: - "false" - Enter QingStor credentials in the next step. - "true" - Get QingStor credentials from the environment (env vars or IAM). #### --qingstor-access-key-id QingStor Access Key ID. Leave blank for anonymous access or runtime credentials. Properties: - Config: access_key_id - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Type: string - Required: false #### --qingstor-secret-access-key QingStor Secret Access Key (password). Leave blank for anonymous access or runtime credentials. Properties: - Config: secret_access_key - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Type: string - Required: false #### --qingstor-endpoint Enter an endpoint URL to connection QingStor API. Leave blank will use the default value "https://qingstor.com:443". Properties: - Config: endpoint - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_ENDPOINT - Type: string - Required: false #### --qingstor-zone Zone to connect to. Default is "pek3a". Properties: - Config: zone - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_ZONE - Type: string - Required: false - Examples: - "pek3a" - The Beijing (China) Three Zone. - Needs location constraint pek3a. - "sh1a" - The Shanghai (China) First Zone. - Needs location constraint sh1a. - "gd2a" - The Guangdong (China) Second Zone. - Needs location constraint gd2a. ### Advanced options Here are the Advanced options specific to qingstor (QingCloud Object Storage). #### --qingstor-connection-retries Number of connection retries. Properties: - Config: connection_retries - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_CONNECTION_RETRIES - Type: int - Default: 3 #### --qingstor-upload-cutoff Cutoff for switching to chunked upload. Any files larger than this will be uploaded in chunks of chunk_size. The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 5 GiB. Properties: - Config: upload_cutoff - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_UPLOAD_CUTOFF - Type: SizeSuffix - Default: 200Mi #### --qingstor-chunk-size Chunk size to use for uploading. When uploading files larger than upload_cutoff they will be uploaded as multipart uploads using this chunk size. Note that "--qingstor-upload-concurrency" chunks of this size are buffered in memory per transfer. If you are transferring large files over high-speed links and you have enough memory, then increasing this will speed up the transfers. Properties: - Config: chunk_size - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_CHUNK_SIZE - Type: SizeSuffix - Default: 4Mi #### --qingstor-upload-concurrency Concurrency for multipart uploads. This is the number of chunks of the same file that are uploaded concurrently. NB if you set this to > 1 then the checksums of multipart uploads become corrupted (the uploads themselves are not corrupted though). If you are uploading small numbers of large files over high-speed links and these uploads do not fully utilize your bandwidth, then increasing this may help to speed up the transfers. Properties: - Config: upload_concurrency - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_UPLOAD_CONCURRENCY - Type: int - Default: 1 #### --qingstor-encoding The encoding for the backend. See the [encoding section in the overview](/overview/#encoding) for more info. Properties: - Config: encoding - Env Var: RCLONE_QINGSTOR_ENCODING - Type: MultiEncoder - Default: Slash,Ctl,InvalidUtf8 {{< rem autogenerated options stop >}} ## Limitations `rclone about` is not supported by the qingstor backend. Backends without this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union remote. See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features) and [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)
