WebDAV photo source provider. Useful for Nextcloud, ownCloud, Synology WebDAV, Box, and other WebDAV-compatible storage.

Config Schema

{
  "url": { "type": "string", "required": true, "description": "WebDAV server URL (e.g. https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/user/)" },
  "username": { "type": "string", "required": true },
  "password": { "type": "string", "secret": true },
  "path": { "type": "string", "default": "/", "description": "Directory path within the WebDAV share" },
  "recursive": { "type": "boolean", "default": true }
}

Implementation Notes

  • Use the webdavclient3 library or raw PROPFIND/GET requests with requests
  • list_photos() does a PROPFIND with Depth: infinity (or recursive Depth: 1 calls) to enumerate files
  • Filter by extension and content-type
  • get_photo() does a GET request, loads into PIL
  • PhotoRef.id = relative path from configured root
  • PhotoRef.date = getlastmodified property from PROPFIND response

Specific Platform Notes

  • Nextcloud: WebDAV URL is https://host/remote.php/dav/files/{username}/
  • Synology DSM: Enable WebDAV in Package Center, URL is https://nas:5006/ (port 5006 for HTTPS)
  • Box: WebDAV URL is https://dav.box.com/dav/

Dependencies

  • requests (already a Flask dependency)

No additional libraries strictly needed — WebDAV is just HTTP with PROPFIND/PROPPATCH. Using raw requests with XML parsing avoids adding another dependency.

Depends on #9 (core architecture).
