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.
See Wiki document
Set Authentication:Provider to "Local". You can manage accounts in /admin/settings/account
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.
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",
"FileSystemPath": "C:\\UploadedImages"
}The Path can be relative or absolute.
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
}Qiniu Blob Storage (Almost free)
You need to hava an Qiniu cloud account, and use Kodo storage service.
"Provider": "qiniustorage"
"QiniuStorageSettings": {
"EndPoint": "Your Custom Domain",
"AccessKey": "Your Access Key",
"SecretKey": "Your Secret Key",
"BucketName": "Your BucketName",
"WithSSL": false
}If you need email notification for new comments, new replies and pingbacks, you have to setup the Moonglade.Notification Azure Function first, and then enable notification in admin portal.
