Interesting...lots of changes happening in external storage. Thanks @RealRancor

Lots of changes without even doing a ping at the documents tracker about such changes. :-/

Sorry, we dropped the ball on this one, we should have notified you guys the manual config process was changing. The new files_external can be configured through the occ interface, which should be used as a replacement for provisioning by creating mount.json manually.

Notable commands:

• occ files_external:backends - list all storage backends and authentication mechanisms
• occ files_external:list [<user_id>] - list all configured external storages, prints admin storages by default but can be passed a user ID to list personal storages instead
• occ files_external:config <mount_id> <key> [<value>] - get or set a configuration key on a storage
• occ files_external:create --config=... <mount_point> <storage_backend> <authentication_backend> - create a new storage configuration for the mount point, storage backend and authentication mechanism, with the config provided in --config=... (in the format key=value, specify --config= multiple times for multiple keys)
• occ files_external:delete <mount_id> - delete a storage configuration
• occ files_external:import <path> - import storage configuration from the legacy JSON format, also useful when provisioning an instance. Specify - for the path to read from stdin.

Hope that helps!

occ files_external:import /path/to/mount.json worked great, thanks.

@carlaschroder I found another wrong section about "Configuration File":
https://doc.owncloud.com/server/9.0/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage_configuration_gui.html#configuration-file

Configuration File

Storage mount configurations are stored in a JSON formatted file. Admin storages are stored in data/mount.json, while personal storages are stored in data/$user/mount.json. For more advanced use cases, including provisioning external storages from outside ownCloud, see Configuring External Storage (Configuration File).

This links to:
https://doc.owncloud.com/server/9.0/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage_configuration.html

Configuring External Storage (Configuration File)

Starting with ownCloud 9.0, the data/mount.json file for configuring external storages has been removed, and replaced with a set of occ commands.

… and this finally links to the OCC page:
https://doc.owncloud.com/server/9.0/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html#files-external-label

Files External

These commands replace the …

All fixed.
