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": {
