How to Set a Custom Location to Deploy Cado Host From

You can configure a custom location for deploying Cado Host, whether using the Import > Cado Host option or during container acquisitions that utilize Cado Host.

This configuration can be set under Settings > Advanced:

Custom Cado Host Settings

This feature is helpful if you want to:

  • Deploy Cado Host from your own environment.
  • Allow a specific IP that hosts the binaries through your firewall.
  • Perform static analysis of the binaries before they are deployed.

Important Notes:​

  • Ensure that the Cado Host binary is the latest version to maintain compatibility with the platform.

For example: If the latest official URL for the Cado Host Linux binary is:

https://official-cado-bucket.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/cado-host/v1.5.4/linux/cado-host

And you are hosting the binaries at:

http://example.com/my-folder/

Then:

  • Enter http://example.com/my-folder/ as the custom URL.
  • Ensure the following structure exists: http://example.com/my-folder/cado-host/v1.5.4/linux/cado-host.

Ensure Binary Availability:​

To ensure collections succeed across all environments, binaries for all operating systems must be available:

  • /linux/cado-host
  • /windows/cado-host.exe
  • /osx/cado-host
  • /osx/cado-host-x86

Cado Host binaries are typically updated 1-2 times per quarter.

warning

For compatibility, the download uses HTTPS and does not leverage AWS IAM. Therefore, non-public S3 buckets cannot be used to host the binaries. The binaries must be accessible via an HTTPS download link, such as:

curl https://bucket/cado-host
