Hi there! I'm developing a web application and I need to store some files on the server where the application will be. I think lakeFs is the system that I'm searching but I don't understand if necessary to use a cloud. Does it manage the storing of the data in the server?

Hi @Angela Busato , welcome!

Can you please elaborate on how you are planning to store the files on your server? Are you going to use an object storage E.g. MinIO? Or you are planning to use the server local file system?

Hi, thanks 😊 My only way is to use the local file system

My intention is to store the files in a folder of the server and if it is possible to retrieve them from the frontend

You can deploy lakeFS locally and configure it to work with your local storage but this is not recommended in production. see this configuration reference for example

Out of curiosity, what are you trying to do with lakeFS?

Thanks. In production is useful with the cloud, such as AWS, or Google? I'm searching for a solution to handle the storage of the files and private access to them.

I haven't tried for the moment to use lakeFs it's only to understand it is a possible solution to use in my case.

Thanks for sharing the details! lakeFS can help you in case you would like to manage the data your application is consuming. To learn more about lakeFS and how you can use it I recommend that you start by reading our docs. If you have any specific question, let us know.

Thank you very much 😊

My pleasure 🙂
