Data Importer Tool

@JLX89 NIce, when you're done, please post the contents of the .htaccess config for future readers.

[JLX89]

@robi Sorry for the delay on this! I ended up going the .htaccess / .htpassd route to secure it for the time being.

It would be great if we could use the proxyAuth option and use that as a "drop in" for a LAMP stack.

[robi]

@JLX89 and the contents of .htaccess?

[JLX89]

I'm using pretty much the standard, the default .htaccess that comes with the data-importer tool, and the generated .htpasswd file I created. I've just added the below. Just update the # Whitelist API Requests line with API requests from the services you're using with the data-import tool.

# Password Protect Entire Directory
AuthName "Restricted Access" 
AuthType Basic 
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd 
require valid-user
# Whitelist API Requests
Allow from api.domain.com

@JLX89 said in Data Importer Tool:

9. Restart the LAMP App and you can access the interface at: https://firefly-importer.domain.tld

Many thanks for this, very helpful !
However after doing all this configuration, I cannot access to the data-importer at https://firefly-importer.{my-domain.tld} I have a DNS error.

I don't see in the .env where the URL is set ? Also, I guess I need to create manually add an entry to my DNS record for the firefly-importer sub domain ?

@cylon Did you update the app "public route" in your Apache configuration from /app/data/public to /app/data/data-importer/public and restart the app? You'll also want to double check the permissions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /app/data/data-importer
sudo chmod -R 775 /app/data/data-importer/storage

The DNS is handled by the LAMP app from the settings you chose when you deployed the app.

oh ok I thought I had to use https://firefly-importer.{my-domain.tld} but it actually is https://{my-lamp-subdomain}.{my-domain.tld} my bad

so it's actually working just fine thx

[JLX89]

@cylon Great to hear!

hey - i tried to build this a couple of times. i keep getting a 403 apache error. any thoughts?

[robi]

@dadams-AU fix your apache config?

[JLX89]

@dadams-AU More than likely along the lines of what @robi said.

You'll need to retrace your steps and ensure you completed the configuration change in the public routes in /app/data/apache/app.conf and ensure that you set the permissions correctly using:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /app/data/data-importer
sudo chmod -R 775 /app/data/data-importer/storage

If you haven't restarted the LAMP app, you'll need to do that before all of the previous settings work correctly.

Hello all!
I am following this tutorial but apparently, recent versions of the data importer tool require PHP 8.3 which isn't supported by the LAMP app. Any workarounds?

Thank you

@jadsmrizk The latest lamp app has 8.3 now

[jadsmrizk]

@girish thank you. Will give it a try
