Document Host

The Document Host (Docuhost) service provides a REST endpoint to upload demo-generated documents for temporary storage. Documents can be retrieved via the short link returned in the upload response.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.21+
• Helm 3.1+
• MongoDB 4.4+

The application is designed to be installed in Kubernetes using a Helm chart. Files are stored in MongoDB using GridFS so, prior to deployment, an instance of MongoDB 4.4.x is required (tested with v4.4.12).

Installation

The chart is available via the SPT Chart Library. See the instructions in that repository for steps to clone the library.

To install the chart with the release name docuhost:

$ cd charts
$ helm upgrade --install docuhost ./docuhost --namespace=demo-prod \
    --set db.user=admin,db.password=s3cr3t

These commands deploy Docuhost to the Kubernetes cluster in the demo-prod namespace. The parameters for the database username and password are set to admin and s3cr3t, respectively. See the Parameters section of the README for a list of the parameters that can/need to be configured for a successful installation.
