Public Files

Sometimes files need to be hosted and make publicly available through the Appmixer engine. One use case for this is Google Domain Verification. The Appmixer Backoffice provides a simple way of doing this.

Open the Backoffice and click the Public Files item in the left menu.

Public Files

You will see a table listing the files currently upload and being served by the engine. You can remove any file by clicking the remove icon in front of them. To add a new file, click the Upload File button on the top left. This will open a dialog like this:

Upload file dialog

You can drag and drop the file, or click in the upload zone to select a file from your system. If you try to upload a file with the same name as another one that is already uploaded, you will receive a warning that proceeding will overwrite the existing file.

To access the file, just append the filename to your Appmixer API URL. For example, let's say the Appmixer URL is https://api.acme-company.appmixer.com and you uploaded a file called test.txt. In this case, the URL would be https://api.acme-company.appmixer.com/test.txt.

There is a PUBLIC_FILES_PREFIX configuration option which allows you to access the file from different locations (by default it will be available at https://api.acme-company.appmixer.com/.well-known/test.txt as well).
