Configure the Fileupload Connector¶

The Fileupload (scratch) connector represents My Documents in SEAL Print Client. After the installation, the connector has already been activated.

Caution - do not turn off

Do not deactivate the Fileupload (scratch) connector due to the other connectors will not work otherwise!

Activate the Connector and Specify the Keys for the Connection¶

In SEAL Operator, activate the connector and specify the keys for the connection:

Export the complete configuration of SEAL Operator from Consul to a YAML file in order to ensure that the current configuration settings are used.
```
operator config export <filename>.yml --insecure
```

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'
  ...

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 the available keys, refer to the description of the Keys.

Save the <filename>.yml file and re-import it to Consul.
```
operator config import <filename>.yml --insecure
```

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.
