SFTP-Go
SFTP-Go is our unified central gateway for managing and securely transferring files across all storage environments. It keeps our data secure, robust, and cleanly abstracted.
⚙️ How It Works
Instead of forcing you to wrestle directly with raw storage infrastructure (like cloud buckets or raw disks), SFTP-Go acts as your intelligent middleman:
- 🌍 Unified Gateway: Access different storage backends seamlessly using standard protocols (SFTP, FTP/S, WebDAV) or right through the web UI.
- 🗺️ Virtual Mapping: It cleverly maps virtual folders to physical or cloud storage locations, hiding the complex infrastructure underneath.
- 🔐 Access Control: It automatically handles permissions, user quotas, and access limits to keep our storage secure and organized.
🖥️ User Interfaces
Skip the raw APIs! You can manage files and configurations effortlessly through the SFTP-Go interface:
- WebAdmin UI: A polished, user-friendly dashboard for viewing storage connections, managing virtual folders, setting up access rules, and tracking active file transfers.
📊 Monitoring
📁 Sub-Folder Size Exporter
We need granular visibility into our storage usage. To achieve this, we monitor the sub-folders located directly inside the SFTP-Go root directory.
We deployed a custom node_exporter powered by a background script.
This script:
- Scans the PVC directory.
- Calculates the total size.
- Measures the size of each immediate subdirectory (e.g.,
raster,3d,vector).
These metrics are then exported, giving us the power to build detailed dashboards and configure proactive alerts for storage capacity! 🚀
