Storage for portal jobs is typically provided by the DMZ, making communication possible from the internal zone to the DMZ. The shared storage saves the following information:
- Outgoing portal jobs (from internal to DMZ)
- outgoing job data
- Incoming portal jobs
- incoming job data
- incoming job XML information
The storage can be located anywhere in the DMZ, offering a wide range of protocols usable to be implemented, such as:
- NFS (most common, see example below)
- CIFS
- SSHFS
- others
The storage must be read/writable by the user running the daemons.
NFS example
DMZ - NSF server
The DMZ server acts as NFS server, so the NFS server functionality must be available there. For OS4Xvirtual, the following package must be installed:
apt update && apt install nfs-server
On OS4X portal server side (DMZ), export a directory. Configuration file:
/etc/exports
Content (example):
/nfs 192.168.2.1(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
Activate export on DMZ side:
exportfs -a
internal zone - NFS client
The internal zone server acts as NFS client, so the NFS client functionality must be available there. For OS4Xvirtual, the following package must be installed:
apt update && apt install nfs-client
The NFS mount can be done in various ways, two of them are:
/etc/fstab
Add a line to the file "/etc/fstab":
192.168.40.64:/opt/os4x/portal /opt/os4x/portal nfs rw,sync,hard,intr 0 0
systemd
Create a new systemd target file including the correct target directory name. In this example it is mounted in "/opt/os4x/portal", so the corresponding systemd name is "opt-os4x-portal.mount":
/etc/systemd/system/opt-os4x-portal.mount
The content is:
[Unit] Description=OS4X Portal share After=network.target [Mount] What=192.168.40.64:/opt/os4x/portal Where=/opt/os4x/portal Type=nfs Options=_netdev,auto [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
The path of the shared folder has to be defined in "Configuration" -> "OS4X Enterprise" -> "Portals" -> "Base directory for portal":
The path of the shared directory has to be defined per attached portal server in the corresponding portal configuration in "Configuration" -> "OS4X Enterprise" -> "Portals" -> "Portal server", there in the editing/add window in the field "Base path":
