Using Different Remotes

You can sync your collection of documents to a remote backend to make them available across different devices/workstations.

Two remotes are possible: Web and AWS S3 storage. You can add your own remote backend, see remote directory for the source code.

For S3, you need an AWS account and access credentials. In the ~/.yew.d/settings.json you configure access to the remote.

{
    "location": {
        "default": {
            "remote_type": "RemoteS3",
            "aws_access_key_id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
            "aws_secret_access_key": "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY",
            "s3_bucket": "my-personal-bucket"
        }
    }
}

The remote REST backend is configured something like this:

{
    "location": {
        "default": {
            "remote_type": "RemoteREST",
            "url": "https://doc.yew.io",
            "email": "paul.wolf@ripeco.com",
            "username": "paul",
            "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
            "first_name": "Blah",
            "last_name": "Wolf",
            "token": "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
        }
    }
}
