Run Locally without the Cloud

[mhellmeier]

Feature Request

The DataDashboard should be useable with different storage types, especially locally with the file system and without any cloud connectivity like Azure or AWS.

Which Areas Would Be Affected?

The connection to the data plane and the storage types.

Why Is the Feature Desired?

The current version of the README shows a part "Running the frontend locally." When reading further, the storageAccount must be set:

insert the name of an Azure Blob Storage account to which the connector has access, otherwise data transfers won't work.

In the source code, only AzureStorage and AmazonS3 are hard-coded storage types without possibility to run with the filesystem storage:

DataDashboard/src/modules/app/app.module.ts

Line 70 in 11588e5

useFactory: () => [{id: "AzureStorage", name: "AzureStorage"}, {id: "AmazonS3", name: "AmazonS3"}],

Solution Proposal

Being able to use the DataDashboard locally with the filesystem as storage type.

Has there been any update on this ?
We are trying to setup a local test bed and would like to use filesystem or local db as storage type.
