This special remote type stores file contents in a WebDAV server. ## configuration The environment variables `WEBDAV_USERNAME` and `WEBDAV_PASSWORD` are used to supply login credentials. You need to set these only when running `git annex initremote`, as they will be cached in a file only you can read inside the local git repository. A number of parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` to configure the webdav remote. * `encryption` - Required. Either "none" to disable encryption (not recommended), or a value that can be looked up (using gpg -k) to find a gpg encryption key that will be given access to the remote, or "shared" which allows every clone of the repository to access the encrypted data (use with caution). Note that additional gpg keys can be given access to a remote by running enableremote with the new key id. See [[encryption]]. * `embedcreds` - Optional. Set to "yes" embed the login credentials inside the git repository, which allows other clones to also access them. This is the default when gpg encryption is enabled; the credentials are stored encrypted and only those with the repository's keys can access them. It is not the default when using shared encryption, or no encryption. Think carefully about who can access your repository before using embedcreds without gpg encryption. * `url` - Required. The URL to the WebDAV directory where files will be stored. This can be a subdirectory of a larger WebDAV repository, and will be created as needed. Use of a https URL is strongly encouraged, since HTTP basic authentication is used. * `chunksize` - Avoid storing files larger than the specified size in WebDAV. For use when the WebDAV server has file size limitations. The default is to never chunk files. The value can use specified using any commonly used units. Example: `chunksize=75 megabytes` Note that enabling chunking on an existing remote with non-chunked files is not recommended. Setup example: # WEBDAV_USERNAME=joey@kitenet.net WEBDAV_PASSWORD=xxxxxxx git annex initremote box.com type=webdav url=https://www.box.com/dav/git-annex chunksize=75mb encryption=joey@kitenet.net
