Here we will explore how Orchestrator can interact with the filesystem of its operating system. We will also take a look at how to access a network share and execute local files.
Orchestrator needs to be able to access a directory on the local filesystem. To configure this access and set the access rights, take a look at the Configuring access to the local filesystem recipe in Chapter 2, Optimizing Orchestrator Configuration.
In my example, I will simply use the default Orchestrator file location that is set to rwx
the directory /var/run/vco/
.
In addition to this, you should have administrative (root) access to Orchestrator's operating system.
We have a bit of ground to cover, so let's start!
