# Server Backend
|
|
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> For general information about OpenCloud and how to install please visit [OpenCloud on Github](https://github.com/opencloud-eu/) and [OpenCloud GmbH](https://opencloud.eu).
|
|
|
|
This the main repository of the OpenCloud server. It contains the golang codebase for the backend services.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Involved
|
|
|
|
The OpenCloud server is released under [Apache 2.0](https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/blob/main/LICENSE). The project is very happy to receive contributions in all forms. Start hacking now 😃
|
|
|
|
### Build OpenCloud
|
|
|
|
To build the backend, follow these instructions:
|
|
|
|
Generate the assets needed by e.g. the web UI and the builtin IDP
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
make generate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then compile the `opencloud` binary
|
|
|
|
``` console
|
|
make -C opencloud build
|
|
```
|
|
That will produce the binary `opencloud/bin/opencloud`. It can be started as a local test instance right away with a two step command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
opencloud/bin/opencloud init && opencloud/bin/opencloud server
|
|
```
|
|
This creates a server configuration (by default in `$HOME/.opencloud`) and starts the server.
|
|
|
|
For more setup- and installation options consult the [Development Documentation](https://docs.opencloud.eu/).

|
### Contribute
|
|
|
|
We very much appreciate contributions from the community. Please refer to our [Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) on how to get started.

|
|
## Technology
|
|
|
|
Important information for contributors about the technology in use.
|
|
|
|
### Authentication
|
|
|
|
The OpenCloud backend authenticates users via [OpenID Connect](https://openid.net/connect/) using either an external IdP like [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/) or the embedded [LibreGraph Connect](https://github.com/libregraph/lico) identity provider.
|
|
|
|
### Database
|
|
|
|
The OpenCloud backend does not use a database. It stores all data in the filesystem. By default, the root directory of the backend is `$HOME/.opencloud/`.
|
|
|
|
## Security
