Small Files

Overview

Kiosc has activated an app provided by SODAR Core that allows the user to upload files of smaller size (several MB, but not GB).

Find the Small Files icon in the left-hand menu to open the Small Files app. This will list all uploaded files and allow to upload or delete files.

Those files then can be accessed by the containers created. For this to work, a dropdown menu of files uploaded to a project is provided during container creation that allows to insert an internal link to that file into the command field. This link can only be accessed by containers that are associated running inside the same project the files is associated with.

The intention is that the application running inside of the container uses links to load the files anyway, and those links now can be replaced with internal links to files that are uploaded to Kiosc. This also requires the application inside the container to accept links as file source, another way to provide the file is not possible.

For further description on how to use the app, please have a look at the part in the SODAR Core manual.

When accessing the container form, the uploaded files are available in a dropdown, and a link will be inserted into the command field when Insert is clicked.
