S3 Bucket Configuration

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
