]> Implementing support as a cloud provider Cloud providers need to create #CloudProvidersAccountExporter objects for every account they like to expose to the API and use the #CloudProvidersAccountExporter API to set the properties of the accounts. Also a #CloudProvidersProviderExporter needs to be created in order to hold all the #CloudProvidersAccountExporter objects that will be added to the provider when created. #CloudProvidersProviderExporter also export properties that define the provider that can be set using the #CloudProvidersProviderExporter API. To register your cloud provider, you need to expose the interface it is implementing in its desktop file Example desktop file to register a cloud provider [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=mycloudprovider example server NoDisplay=true Implements=org.freedesktop.CloudProviders [org.freedesktop.CloudProviders] BusName=org.mycloudprovider.CloudProviders.ServerExample ObjectPath=/org/mycloudprovider/CloudProviders/ServerExample In previous versions, to register your cloud provider you needed to provide a file in DATADIR/cloud-providers. This way of registering providers is still working but is not compatible with containerization.
