Re: [basex-talk] How to configure org.basex.path

[Pierre-Yves Jallud]

Hi Marc,

well, containers is still obscure for me and I know APACHE... and all 
the chain between DNS and virtual host. Moreover, BaseX is enough 
designed to be configured as I need. Specifying the ports, a .basex (a 
data and webapp repository with DBPATH and WEBPATH) for each site and 
the BASEX_JM variable (BASEX_JM="-Dorg.basex.path=/basex/home/path") can 
do the job =) But maybe one day I will evoluate... if it's necessary 😅

I still have a problem for stopping BaseX instances but that will be 
another message 😇 (just after).

Greetings
Pierre-Yves

Hello Pierre-Yves and Maud,

I'm also trying to figure out a multi-site setup with BaseX and I'm very
curious about your structure and config. Are you using containers with the
reversed proxy? Especially Podman might be a secure and easy to maintain
option (if setup correctly) for a multi-site scenario with multiple BaseX
instances.

regards,
Marc

Hälløw Christian,

many thanks for your answer! I finaly came to this solution yesterday
afternoon and I was answering to my question when you send your answer. I
first tried to use an relative directory... until I tried an absolute one and
I succeeded to pass the java system property (something like export
BASEX_JM="-Dorg.basex.path=/basex/home/path").

To explain the context of our lab, we are using several instances of BaseX in
the same machine (LINUX). To facilitate the administration (mainly the BaseX
code update), we try to use a single BaseX repository for several sites. Each
site has its own environment (data, webapp and .logs) and the basex repository
is a symbolic link. We are using an APACHE HTTP server to access each BaseX
with virtualhosts and proxypass configurations...

And well, it seems to work now 🤩! But if you have recommendations or other
suggestions to facilitate system administration for a BaseX cluster, we are
completly open =) Furthermore, we are not yet at the intensive production
stage. If we encounter other problems, we'll ask for your help 😇

Many thanks to you and all the BaseX team! You're making a great job!

Greetings
Pierre-Yves and Maud

Salut Pierre-Yves,

The home directory can be specified via the Java system property
“org.basex.path”. As it’s required before BaseX is even started, it must be
passed on to the JDK, e.g. via “-Dorg.basex.path=/path/to/my/basex”. This
string can be…

• statically added to the BASEX_JVM property in your “basexhttp” start
script, or
• dynamically assigned to JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS on command-line before running
“basexhttp” (export JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS=...).

Hope this helps. If not, just keep on asking ;)

Merci et salutations,
Christian

     Hi all,

     I would like to precise the home directory of BaseX using
     org.basex.path (cf.
     https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Configuration#Home_Directory). Is it
     possible to configure this when I launch the basexhttp? For
     exemple, something like (befor launching basexhttp):

     export org.basex.path=/path/to/my/basex

     Or maybe:

     basexhttp -S org.basex.path=/path/to/my/basex

     ... or what else?

     Many thanks in advance to enlighten me 😇

     Pierre-Yves

     PS: as you can see, I didn't use Java for a long time 😅
