PHP OpenCloud/OpenStack how to create container for public access

Question

Using Laravel with OpenCloud/OpenStack, I can create a container using the createContainer function but it creates a private container by default and I would like to create a container with public read access (which can be done from the hosting provider portal).

Here is my code:

$client = app()->make('OpenCloud\OpenStack');    
$service = $client->objectStoreService('swift', $data_center);    
$container = $service->createContainer($container_name);    
// trying to find how to set $container read access ???

Answer 1

Since by default swift container are not public, you can change that by changing the container metadata.

This might work:

$metadata = $container->appendToMetadata(array(
    'X-Container-Read' =>: '.r:*'
));
