spec.download.repositoryURL: string

Field is immutable. Protocol needs to be defined in spec.download.credentialsSecretName if protocol is other than local.

JSON Token options are described on the Rclone page.We can define more than one protocols at same time in one secret.

This field is defined in json format:

{
  "<protocol>": {
    "type":"<type>",
    ...parameters
    }
}

AWS S3 example - based on Rclone S3 documentation and interactive process:

{
  "S3": {
    "type": "s3", # Choose s3 type
    "provider": "AWS", # Choose one of the providers
    "env_auth": "false", # Define credentials in next step instead of using ENV
    "access_key_id": "xxx",
    "secret_access_key": "xxx",
    "region": "eu-west-2", # Choose region
