Connect data providers
Profuz LAPIS allows to connect local, network, FTP, Google Drive, Dropbox, S3 and many others storages
- Open ~/apache-tomcat/production-cofig.json file in your favorite text editor
- Add or edit the following entry in "providers" array:
{
"storageId": 11,
"className": "com.profuzdigital.data_server.database.providers.vfs.VfsDataProvider",
"name": [ { "language": "en", "country": "US", "searchValue": "Storage Name" } ],
"enabled": true,
"authenticationDataProperties": {
"public": ["domain", "username"],
"sensitive": ["password"]
},
"indexPath": "data/vfs-blob-index",
"uri": "file:///DATA/DATA/DATA/",
"fileMonitorDelay": 3600000,
"rootAuthentication": {
"domain": null,
"username": "guest",
"password": ""
},
"defaultAuthentication": {
"domain": null,
"username": "guest",
"password": ""
}
}
Fields explanation:
- storageId: use unique number for each additional storage. Numbers below 7 are preserved by LAPIS
- className:
- for local file system (includded system mapped folders), SAMBA, NAS, FTP, WebDav, S3 and similar file storages use "com.profuzdigital.data_server.database.providers.vfs.VfsDataProvider"
- for YouTube use "com.profuzdigital.data_server.database.providers.you_tube.YouTubeDataProvider"
- name: in searchValue put the name you want to see in LAPIS UI. For example change "Starage Name" to "My External Storage"
- enabled: if true it will be connected, else if false it will be skipped
- authenticationDataProperties: describe autentication parameters. In the above example both domain and username must be used and password is case sensitive.
- uri: put the uri to access your connected storage.
- for local file system: file:///path/to/the/folder
- for ftp: ftp://ftp.example.com/optional/path/to/folder
- for SAMBA: smb://serveraddress/path/to/the/folder
- for S3: s3://server.example.com/path
- for Dropbox: dropbox:///
- for Guugle Drive: gdrive:///
- fileMonitorDelay: value in milisecods ro rescan remote file structure if needed
- domain, username, password: authentication parameters for the remote connection
