Click the  button to create a new Endpoint, or edit an existing LocalHost Endpoint by clicking on the desired row. Update the required fields as defined in the table below

A localhost endpoint is included with FlexDeploy, and it is very unlikely that you will need to create another localhost endpoint.

Predefined Localhost Endpoint uses variables for BaseDirectory and JDK Home to take advantage of FlexDeploy server's working directory setup and use of same Java respectively.

Localhost endpoint can be useful to run execution on the FlexDeploy server efficiently without any SSH communication.

Field Name

Required

Description

Endpoint Name

Yes

The name of the Endpoint. @since 5.5.0.1 Upon save leading and trailing whitespace is removed.

Description

No

An optional description for the Endpoint. @since 5.5.0.1 Upon save leading and trailing whitespace is removed.

Active

Yes

Whether or not the endpoint is active in the system. Defaults to "Yes".

Connection Type

localhost


Endpoint Details

Endpoint AddresslocalhostThe host address of this server.  Fixed value of localhost. @since 5.5.0.1 Upon save leading and trailing whitespace is removed.

Base Directory

Yes

A working directory on the Endpoint used by FlexDeploy. ~ is not supported here.

Working directory under /var/tmp or /tmp folder is not recommended as administrators generally have cron jobs to purge files based on age and that will cause issues when plugin files are deleted. For example, Error: Could not find or load main class flexagon.fd.core.plugin.ExternalPluginServer will be encountered when plugin lib files are deleted.

@since 5.5.0.1 Upon save leading and trailing whitespace is removed.

JDK HomeYesThe JDK Home directory on the Endpoint. Not required if an endpoint is a Docker Host. @since 5.5.0.1 Upon save leading and trailing whitespace is removed.
Container Details

Docker HostNoWhether or not the endpoint is capable of running Docker containers
K8s ClusterNoWhether or not the endpoint can run Docker containers on a K8s cluster
K8s ContextNoName of the configured K8s context



GroupNoAn optional group identifier which can be useful when searching for Endpoints. @since 5.5.0.1 Upon save leading and trailing whitespace is removed.
SubgroupNoAn optional subgroup identifier which can be useful when searching for Endpoints. @since 5.5.0.1 Upon save leading and trailing whitespace is removed.

Optionally, click the Test Connection button to validate that the FlexDeploy server can connect to itself properly. This will verify the Base Directory and JDK Home settings.

Click the Save button to save the changes to the Endpoint. Optionally click the Apply button to save the changes, but remain on the current screen until the Cancel button is clicked.
