Configuring a custom storage location for Add-ons

By default, Tridion Docs stores Add-on packages (ZIP files) in folder: \Infoshare\App<project-suffix>\Addons\Repository\. You can change this location by editing addonsSettings.json file.

Procedure

  1. Go to the following folder on the Content Manager server:
    <drive>\Infoshare\App<project-suffix>\Addons\Repository\
  2. Go to the bin\ subfolder of the root folder where the Add-ons Service service is installed.
  3. Open addonsSettings.json for editing.
  4. Find the parameters section in this file.
  5. Change the value of repositoryFolder to the path of your preferred location for storing Add-ons
    The following example shows the configuration file with the default folder location:
    
    {
      "addonsSettings": {
        "cacheFolder": "C:\\InfoShare\\DataSQL2019\\Addons\\RepositoryCache", // path to cache folder
        "repositoryType": "Trisoft.InfoShare.WebExtensions.Repositories.TrisoftWebExtensionsRepository, 
        Trisoft.InfoShare.WebExtensions, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null",
        "parameters": {
           "repositoryFolder": "C:\\InfoShare\\DataSQL2019Instance1\\Addons\\Repository", // path to folder with addons 
           "pollingInterval": "1" }
      }
    }
    
  6. Save and close addonsSettings.json.
