request: filesystem abstraction & persistent federated data

[sunjam]

there are currently no plans to add filesystem abstraction to Pico, as it kinda objects the "stupidly simple" approach regarding Pico's own code. Thus it's unlikely that this will be implemented on Pico's side. However, another solution is to let Nextcloud cache external storages locally, allowing Pico to access the files locally. That's what persistent federated data basically is about. Thus it's tracked in this issue. However, this is nothing we can carry out ourselves.

See server issue #8459 on allowing federated data to be optionally stored across multiple Nextcloud instances in order to avoid a single point of failure! This would benefit apps such as PicoCMS hosting live websites and files to the public.
