Network

By default, the flexFS metadata service starts a websocket server that listens on port 443 and uses a self-signed SSL certificate (which, for ease of configuration, mount clients are configured to accept).

  • You can change the port number using the --bindAddr flag when using the start command.
  • To use a trusted SSL certificate, replace the cert and key files in /root/.flexfs/ssl (created on the first start of the metadata server) with trusted ones, and be sure to give Paradigm4 the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your metadata server as specified by your SSL certificate.
info

All mount clients must be able to reach the port on which the metadata server is listening. Be sure to double check your firewall configuration to ensure that is the case.
