Configure the Fileupload Connector


Caution - do not turn off

Do not deactivate the Fileupload (scratch) connector. Other connectors will not work otherwise!

The Fileupload (scratch) connector represents My Documents in the user interface. After the installation, the connector has already been activated. To ensure this has been done correctly and to specify the connection keys, execute the following steps.

  1. In SEAL Operator, export the complete configuration of SEAL Operator to a YAML file in order to ensure that the current configuration settings are used.

    operator config export <filename>.yml --insecure
    
  2. Edit the exported file <filename>.yml.

  3. In the section of the Fileupload (scratch) connector, check if cstatus is set to on.

    operator:
      connectors:
      ...
        scratch:
          cstatus: 'on'
          serviceName: operator-fileupload
          url: 'https://localhost:3009'
      ...
    
  4. In the env section, specify the following keys for the seal-operator-fileupload service:

    env:
      service:
        ...
        operator-fileupload:
          tag:
            any:
              MONGO_FILEUPLOAD_URL: 'mongodb://<mongodb_server>:27017/operator-fileupload'
        ...
    

    Literature - keys

    For further information about available keys, refer to the Key Reference.

    Hint - AWS S3 as file storage

    AWS S3 can be used for storing the file contents instead of MongoDB. For more information, refer to Connect S3.

  5. Save the file.

  6. Re-import it to Consul.

    operator config import <filename>.yml --insecure
