Frequently asked questions

1

How do I authenticate with Azure ADLS2?

Provide your storage account name and optionally an account key via environment variables `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME` and `AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY`. If the key is not set, the server attempts authentication using Azure CLI credentials.

2

Can I run the server in read-only mode?

Yes. Set the environment variable `READ_ONLY_MODE` to `true` (default) to prevent write operations. Set to `false` to enable full read/write access.

3

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.13 or higher and the `uv` package manager. The server also requires an Azure storage account and, optionally, the Azure CLI for credential-based authentication.

4

Is this an official Microsoft product?

No. The README explicitly states this is not an official Microsoft product.

5

How do I configure local file storage for uploads and downloads?

Set `UPLOAD_ROOT` and `DOWNLOAD_ROOT` environment variables to local directory paths. Defaults are `./uploads` and `./downloads` respectively.
