Learn how to configure JFrog Artifactory for use with Filebase.

What is JFrog Artifactory?
JFrog Artifactory is a DevOps platform that can be deployed as a Docker container or on Linux machines that provides automation and binary management through an application delivery process. JFrog can be configured to automatically backup local filestores to S3-compatible storage solutions.
Read below to learn how to use JFrog Artifactory with Filebase.
Prerequisites:
​Download and install JFrog Artifactory - Self Hosted version.
​Sign up for a free Filebase account. 
Have your Filebase Access and Secret Keys. Learn how to view your access keys here.
Create a Filebase Bucket. Learn how to create a bucket here.
This guide was tested and written using Ubuntu 20.04.
1. Once installed do not start the JFrog service.
First, navigate to the $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory/artifactory.lic file and input your JFrog Artifactory license key.
2. Then, navigate to the directory $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory.
Create or open the binarystore.xml file. Input the following content into the binarystore.xml file:
<config version="2">
<chain template="s3-storage-v3-direct"/>
	<provider id="s3-storage-v3" type="s3-storage-v3">
	<endpoint>s3.filebase.com</endpoint>
	<bucketName>filebase-sample-bucket</bucketName>
	<path>/path/to/filestore</path>
	<region>us-east-1</region>
	<identity>filebase-access-key</identity>
	<credential>filebase-secret-key</credential>
</provider> 
</config>
Replace the following values to match your configuration:
BucketName: Filebase bucket name
Path: Path to your JFrog Filestore
Identity: Filebase Access Key
Credential: Filebase Secret Key
3. Next, navigate to the directory $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/data/artifactory and create a subdirectory called eventual.
cd $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/data/artifactory
mkdir eventual
4. Create a symlink link with the name _add that points to the $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/data/artifactory/filestore directory.
ln -s $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/data/artifactory/filestore _add
5. Create another symlink with the name _pre that points to the $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/data/artifactory/filestore/_pre directory.
ln -s $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/data/artifactory/filestore/_pre _pre
Now, as soon as Artifactory starts up, it will automatically move your complete filestore over to your Filebase bucket.
6. Start the JFrog Artifactory service.
