⚙ Configuration
This section discuss system settings in appsettings.[env].json. For blog settings, please use "/admin/settings" UI.
For production, it is strongly recommended to use Environment Variables over appsetting.json file.
🛡 Authentication
Azure Active Directory
See Wiki document
Local Account (Alternative)
Set Authentication:Provider
to "Local"
. You can manage accounts in /admin/settings/account
🖼 Image Storage
AppSettings:ImageStorage
controls how blog post images are stored.
Azure Blob Storage (Preferred)
You need to create an Azure Blob Storage with container level permission.
"Provider": "azurestorage"
"AzureStorageSettings": {
"ConnectionString": "YOUR CONNECTION STRING",
"ContainerName": "YOUR CONTAINER NAME"
}
When configured the image storage to use Azure Blob, you can take advantage of CDN for your image resources. Just enable CDN in admin settings, the blog will get images from client browser using a 302 redirect.
File System (Not Recommended)
You can also choose File System for image storage, but this will make your site root not read-only, which would be a potential security issue. And it will be harder for you to backup or update the website.
"Provider": "filesystem",
"FileSystemSettings": {
"Path": "${basedir}\\UploadedImages"
}
The Path
can be relative or absolute. "$\{basedir\}"
represents the website's current directory.
Minio Blob Storage (Free)
You need to hava an Minio Server.
"Provider": "miniostorage"
"MinioStorageSettings": {
"EndPoint": "Minio Server Endpoint(eg:localhost:9600)",
"AccessKey": "Your Access Key",
"SecretKey": "Your Secret Key",
"BucketName": "Your BucketName",
"WithSSL": false
}
