FastX Configuration Directory


FastX stores shared configuration in the database.  This allows configuration changes to be automatically propagated to other systems in a cluster.

Configuration that is private to the local system is stored in the config directory (default /usr/lib/fastx/var/config, set by FX_CONFIG_DIR)

www.json

This file holds the information needed to start the web server including port, certificate paths, and other options.  See WWW for more information

This file must be world readable as sessions use this file to attempt to reconnect with the web server

cluster.json

This file holds the information needed to connect to a cluster.  See Clustering for more information

settings.json

Local settings of the web server

override.json

This file updates the database on startup and then renames itself.  This is typically done to update database configuration during installs.  This file does a hard update.  There is no checking if the data is valid.  Once the web server starts up, the override.json file is renamed, so it does not write it again.

Create an override.json file by logging in to the web server as an admin > System > Tools > Export.

suggestions.json

When the web server IS NOT running, this file is used to store the bookmarks.

When the web server IS running, this file will put any new bookmarks into the database.  If the bookmark already exists, it will be skipped.

admin.json

This file is created by the install.sh script and sets the initial admins for the database.  If there is already an admin record in the database this file does nothing.  Use the override.json file or the admin-reset tool to reset your admins.

session.json

When the web server IS NOT running, this is the profile of the session.

When the web server IS  running, this file is ignored.

debug.json

Turn on web server debugging options

FastX.conf

Sets special variables for launching sessions.  These are the default paths where the session will store session information

UserPath=$HOME/.fastx_server/$HOST
FastXPath=$UserPath/..
SessionPath=$UserPath/sessions
