Litmus Edge File Browser
The Litmus Edge File Browser solution allows litmus edge users to interact with the Litmus Edge core file system to provide additional management capabilities.
This does address some customer requests to have more options such as:
- be able to manage Litmus flows and its log files more directly
- be able to manage files in the FTP directory without the need to use an ftp client or enable the ftp server and make it more usable as a customer drive folder
- Be able to manage the space occupied by Litmus Edge update files
Currently the Litmus Edge File Browser solution provides access to:
- FTP Data -> through the folder ftp-data
- Litmus Flows files -> through the folder flows
At this point, Litmus Edge File Browser provides the user with the capability to:
- create files and folders
- delete files and folder
- download files
- upload files
Further can users:
- change the password
- change the language
A Litmus Edge Instance exists.
- After Checkout, a tar.gz file is expected to be downloaded
- Log in to your Litmus Edge, Navigate to Applications -> Images
- Click on Upload Image and upload the tar file there
- Navigate back to Applications -> Containers and enter the following command there:
After running the command, the container will be running.

Note: This is an optional way to deploy the Litmus Edge File Browser solution on a Litmus Edge.
This deployment requires that a Litmus Edge is connected to a deployed Litmus Edge Manager. The user also should have experience in adding applications to the LEM Marketplace.
The file to be uploaded into the LEM Docker Registry is the tar.gz file litmusedge_filebrowser.tar.gz
After uploading the docker image into the LEM Docker registry and setting up the means for authentication, the next step is to prepare the marketplace import.
Step 1: Download the file Litmus-Edge_File-Browser_Marketplace.json through the Download button with the label (LEM Marketplace Listing of Litmus Edge File Browser), to import the application to LEM Marketplace.
Step 2: Open the JSON file with a editor such as notpad++.
Step 3: Within the file replace.
<registry-ip> | The IP or URL of the LEM. |
|---|---|
<registry-user> | The username setup for docker registry authentication. |
<registry-password> | The password setup for docker registry authentication. |
Examples for replacing these placeholders using notepad++.
Step 4: Access the LEM User UI via your browser.
Step 5: Access your company and project and select the Features menu.
Step 6: Select the Marketplace option.
Step 7: Select the catalog you want to use.
Step 8: Select the Add or Import an Application icon.
Step 9: Import the downloaded json file.
Step 10: The application is now part of the catalog.
Note: This is an optional way to deploy the Litmus Edge File Browser solution on a Litmus Edge.
This deployment requires that a Litmus Edge is connected and that the solution has been added to a LEM Marketplace catalog previously.
It is expected, that users are knowledgeable about how applications and solutions are deployed from LEM.
