How to migrate from local folder asset store to GridFS

Jose_alberto_Santiag · April 3, 2019, 1:18pm

I want to start using GridFS to be able to back up and restore assets directly from mongoDump. But as I already have my assets “uploaded” to the local Squidex instalation, so… I should delete my assets, change the settings to GridFS and then re-upload?
Thanks

Perhaps you can upload the assets from the folder directly to GridFS. The naming is the same.

What is your setting (type) for the asset store?

Jose_alberto_Santiag · April 3, 2019, 2:50pm

on my project i have “Folder”, but in the new one i have GridFS. I created a new database called SquidexAsset where I assumed the assets would store.

Sebastian · April 3, 2019, 2:52pm

The type is MongoDb not GridFS

github.com

Squidex/squidex/blob/master/src/Squidex/appsettings.json

{
  "mode": {
    /*
     * Use this flag to set Squidex to readonly, e.g. when you deploy a second instance for migration.
     */
    "isReadonly": false
  },

  "urls": {
    /*
     * Set the base url of your application, to generate correct urls in background process.
     */
    "baseUrl": "http://localhost:5000",

    /*
     * Set it to true to redirect the user from http to https permanently.
     */
    "enforceHttps": false

I feel so dumb right now, thanks a lot for the help and sorry

You are welcome…I should log a warning when the NoopStore is selected.
