Title: Implementing support as a cloud provider
Cloud providers need to create [class@AccountExporter] objects for
every account they like to expose to the API and use the [class@AccountExporter]
API to set the properties of the accounts. Also a [class@ProviderExporter]
needs to be created in order to hold all the [class@AccountExporter] objects
that will be added to the provider when created. [class@ProviderExporter] also
exports properties that define the provider that can be set using the [class@ProviderExporter] 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:
```ini
[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.
Example file to register a cloud provider in previous versions:
```ini
[Cloud Provider]
BusName=org.mycloudprovider.CloudProviders.ServerExample
ObjectPath=/org/mycloudprovider/CloudProviders/ServerExample
Version=1
```
