S3 File Storage
By default, any sample submitted to the webservice is stored locally at:
/srv/backend/src/storage/files/*
Due to limited hard disc storage space, it is thus recommended to configure the webservice to use a S3 Bucket in AWS in combination with a tight retention policy of the Broker and Transform backend components. To configure the webservice, edit the file at:
/home/filescanio/FileScanIO/launch_webservice.sh
Set the appropriate storage mode and S3 settings:
export FSIO_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXX
export FSIO_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YYY
export FSIO_S3_REGION=eu-central-1
export FSIO_S3_BUCKET_NAME=filescanio-myinstance
export FSIO_DEFAULT_FILE_MANAGER=s3
… and restart the webservice:
sudo service fsioweb stop
sudo service fsioweb start
