Linode

Connect to Linode

1. In the Big Data Tools window, click and select Linode.

2. In the Big Data Tools dialog that opens, specify the connection parameters:

   

   • Name: the name of the connection to distinguish it between the other connections.

   • Region: select a region to get buckets from.

   • Choose the way to get buckets:

     • Select Custom roots and, in the Roots field, specify the name of the bucket or the path to a directory in the bucket. You can specify multiple names or paths by separating them with a comma.

     • Select All buckets in the account. You can then use the bucket filter to show only buckets with particular names.

   • Enter access credentials: Access Key and Secret Key.

   Optionally, you can set up:

   • Per project: select to enable these connection settings only for the current project. Deselect it if you want this connection to be visible in other projects.

   • Enable connection: deselect if you want to restrict using this connection. By default, the newly created connections are enabled.

   • HTTP Proxy: select if you want to use IDE proxy settings or if you want to specify custom proxy settings.

   You can also set up Extended Connection Settings:

   • Operation timeout (s): enter a timeout (in seconds) for operations performed on the remote storage, such as getting file info, listing or deleting objects. The default value is 15 seconds.

   • Trust all SSL certificates: select it if you trust the SSL certificate used for this connection and do not want to verify it. This can be useful if, for development purposes, you have a host with a self-signed certificate – verifying it could result in an error.

3. Once you fill in the settings, click Test connection to ensure that all configuration parameters are correct. Then click OK.
