Resource App
This app configures a web browser for serving local resources.
Dependency
None.
Settings
Filter: A URI pattern that defines the files to be served, e.g., /.*log.
Base directory: Filesystem path where the files are stored, e.g., /opt/share/logs.
Example
Sample configuration
| Option | Value / Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Resource |
| Name | Image Server |
| Authentication method | None |
| Hostname | gateway.example.com |

If the app is configured using the values above, a user can fetch individual files if they know the names of the resources stored in the Base Directory path. For instance, if there is a file called logo.png, it could be accessed using the URL https://gateway.example.com/logo.png, provided the configured app has been assigned to a reverse proxy running on port 443. See Assign Apps to the proxy for instructions.
