Host static files on an intranet

This guide explains how to run Casdoor in a network without internet access, where the default CDN for static files is unreachable.

Learning outcomes​

  • Serve the Casdoor static files from your own web server.
  • Point Casdoor at that server.

What you need​

  • A web server that the users of your intranet can reach
  • Access to conf/app.conf of your Casdoor instance

About static files​

Casdoor loads default images, such as logos, avatars, and provider icons, from https://cdn.casbin.org. The files are in the casbin/static repository. Without access to that CDN, the images don't load.

Serve the static files​

  1. On a machine with internet access, clone casbin/static.
  2. Copy the files to a web server inside your intranet and serve them over HTTP or HTTPS.

Point Casdoor at your server​

  1. In conf/app.conf, replace the default value of staticBaseUrl with the base URL of your web server:

    staticBaseUrl = "https://cdn.casbin.org"

  2. Restart Casdoor.
