Description

PDFs should be stored a) either in the SQL database or b) using jclouds. jclouds also supports a local filesystem: https://jclouds.apache.org/guides/filesystem/

The git repository should be always synced with a remote to circumvent the volatile local storage.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue requirements and the linked jclouds filesystem guide, then inspect how CloudRef currently stores PDFs and handles the git repository. Done means defining and implementing a storage layer supporting SQL or jclouds, including local filesystem support, with the repository always synced to a remote.
