Every upload surface previously wrote each byte to disk twice: the HTTP
body was spooled to a temp file (or assembled from chunk parts), then
mmap-re-read for FastCDC analysis, and finally the new chunks were
written to the blob backend. CDC could not start until the last byte
arrived, so large uploads paid receive + reread + rewrite latency.
The dedup engine now chunks, hashes and settles the stream WHILE it
arrives (fastcdc AsyncStreamCDC + incremental BLAKE3):
- Each batch of distinct chunks is pinned-or-classified by ONE
`UPDATE … RETURNING` (no check-then-bump TOCTOU; pinned chunks can't
be reclaimed mid-upload), and only chunks the store doesn't have are
written — a full dedup hit performs zero content writes.
- Durability before visibility is preserved: one batched fsync sweep,
then one batched INSERT, then the manifest. Identical concurrent
uploads are resolved at the manifest INSERT via ON CONFLICT (the
loser releases its references and becomes a dedup hit).
- A drop guard rolls back pins and surfaces written-but-unregistered
chunks to GC if the request future is cancelled mid-stream.
- MIME sniffing now peeks the first bytes in-flight; client-requested
MD5/SHA-256 checksums are computed by a stream tee — the post-upload
re-read of the assembled file is gone.
All surfaces converge on the new interfaces::upload_ingest helper:
REST multipart, WebDAV PUT, NextCloud PUT, WOPI PutFile, the dedup
endpoint, and both chunked-upload completions (which now stream their
ordered parts straight into the store instead of writing an assembled
file — chunk parts persist until finalize, so completion is genuinely
retryable). The legacy blob re-chunk migration streams from the
backend with no spool file either.
Legacy removed: store_from_file + mmap CDC analysers + temp-path
plumbing through every port (pre_computed_hash, save_file_from_temp,
update_file_content_from_temp), upload_spool + assembled-file
assembly in both chunked services, create_file/update_file byte-slice
variants (no callers), common::temp, the OXICLOUD_UPLOAD_TMPDIR
config, and the memmap2 dependency.
Verified end-to-end against PostgreSQL 16: 8 MB upload (26 chunks),
identical re-upload (dedup hit, zero writes), 3-byte edit re-upload
(26 chunks, 1 written), byte-identical downloads, Range across chunk
boundaries, concurrent identical-upload race (manifest ref 2), and
trash-empty reclaiming exactly the unshared chunk while the shared 25
survive for the edited file. The empty/sub-8KB multipart path found a
post-EOF re-poll panic in the MIME peek (fixed with fuse + regression
test).

purpose: avoid current scheme:
1. write to disk
2. reopen file to read data and digest it
now: digest is done while writing data to disk
all other implementation than Nextcloud are corrrect
add OXICLOUD_CHUNK_MAX_BYTES which correspond to the max upload chunk allowed
(differs from OXICLOUD_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE which is the max total size of a file)
hurl test validate the change
Streams the request body straight to the chunk file with peak heap of
~one HTTP frame, regardless of chunk size or the configured cap. The
`storage.chunk_max_bytes` config (env `OXICLOUD_CHUNK_MAX_BYTES`,
default 100 MB) bounds a single PUT — separate from `max_upload_size`
which governs whole-file uploads. Without this separation, a client
could submit a chunk up to the whole-file cap (10 GB default) and
monopolise server memory.
PROPFIND on upload chunk is necessary for application to resume the upload
it is used at least by Nextcloud Android app
issue has been raised via #415
unable to test, so I am using a playbook in test/webdav to simulate a
PROPIND on remote.php/dav/uploads/{user}/{session}
Implement a complete Nextcloud client compatibility layer so that
Nextcloud desktop/mobile sync clients can connect to OxiCloud.
Key additions:
- Login Flow v2 (device auth) with OIDC bridge support
- WebDAV handler compatible with Nextcloud clients (PROPFIND, GET,
PUT, DELETE, MKCOL, MOVE, COPY, HEAD, PROPPATCH)
- OCS API endpoints (user info, capabilities, notifications stubs,
sharees, unified search)
- Basic Auth middleware with app password verification, account
lockout integration, and blake3-keyed auth cache
- App password management: create, list, revoke via both native
API (JWT-authenticated profile page) and Nextcloud OCS endpoints
- Nextcloud file ID mapping (oc:fileid) with persistent DB storage
- Chunked upload support (Nextcloud v2 chunking protocol)
- Trashbin WebDAV interface
- Avatar (SVG placeholder) and preview (redirect) handlers
- User profile page with app password management UI
- URL user validation on all DAV routes (403 on mismatch)
- Database schema for app_passwords and nextcloud_object_ids tables
All services are behind a `nextcloud.enabled` config flag and
cleanly separated under src/interfaces/nextcloud/.
