New service: remoteStorage accounts

From the weekly call yesterday:

Over at 5apps, we have decided that we’re not going to offer our Managed Storage for Kosmos accounts, and that instead, we should have a separate remoteStorage service for Kosmos that is not tied to 5apps, or a specific API or PaaS.

The rough plan is to use and further develop the Armadietto server implementation, which is based on node.js.

In order to bring armadietto to production readiness, and add features we need, like e.g. LDAP support, we’re proposing to add the Kredits GitHub webhook to the armadietto repository, so that anyone contributing to armadietto also earns Kosmos kredits.

Created an issue here:

In case someone missed it from the calls, the new plan is to integrate RS authorization directly in akkounts, and then use either Liquor Cabinet as is, or a new implementation for the storage API (with documents stored in our S3-compatible Garage cluster).

Work on this is currently underway. There’s a tracking milestone for various issues.
