Regarding Companion, did you follow the instructions at https://uppy.io/docs/companion/? What specific problems are you facing?

I'm Gettting an Error Like this while running the server
uppy: 2019-01-28T10:32:58.284Z [warn] startup.secret auto-generating server secret because none was specified
Please specify the following options to run companion as Standalone:
"filePath",
"server.host"

[NithinYM]

After creating start.cmd file and running that file getting error
F:\uppy\packages@uppy\companion\src\standalone>node ./start.cmd
F:\uppy\packages@uppy\companion\src\standalone\start.cmd:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { set UPPYSERVER_SECRET = “THisisSSs!Secret”

start.cmd is not a JavaScript file, so you can't run it with node. Run it without anything:

.\start.cmd

[NithinYM]

Getting an Error Like This

F:\uppy\packages@uppy\companion\src\standalone>.\start.cmd

F:\uppy\packages@uppy\companion\src\standalone>SET UPPYSERVER_SECRET = ΓÇ£SecretΓÇ¥

F:\uppy\packages@uppy\companion\src\standalone>SET UPPYSERVER_DOMAIN= ΓÇ£localhost:3020ΓÇ¥

F:\uppy\packages@uppy\companion\src\standalone>SET UPPYSERVER_DATADIR = "F:\uppy\Uploaded files"

F:\uppy\packages@uppy\companion\src\standalone>SET filePath = F:\uppy\Uploaded files

F:\uppy\packages@uppy\companion\src\standalone>node F:\uppy\packages@uppy\companion\standalone\start-server.js
module.js:549
throw err;

I would not recommend cloning the repository to get Companion. Instead, use npm in a directory for your project (not in the cloned repository).

cd my-project-directory
npm install @uppy/companion

Put start.cmd in the same directory.

Then in your start.cmd, instead of doing something like node .\standalone\start-server.js, do node .\node_modules\.bin\companion.

[NithinYM]

Again This Error

F:\Repository>start.cmd
F:\Repository>SET UPPYSERVER_SECRET = ΓÇ£SecretΓÇ¥
F:\Repository>SET UPPYSERVER_DOMAIN= ΓÇ£localhost:3020ΓÇ¥
F:\Repository>SET UPPYSERVER_DATADIR = "F:\uppy\Uploaded files"
F:\Repository>SET filePath = "F:\uppy\Uploaded files"
F:\Repository>node .\node_modules.bin\companion

1. start.cmd - contains

SET UPPYSERVER_SECRET = "Secret"
SET UPPYSERVER_DOMAIN= "http://localhost:3020"
SET UPPYSERVER_DATADIR = "F:\Repository\UppyFiles"
SET filePath = "F:\Repository\UppyFiles"
node .\node_modules\.bin\companion

2. Do i need to add any other variables. when i run start.cmd i'm getting the above error.
   Does anyone know why i'm getting the above error???
   if possible please explain me how to run companion server...?

Hi there, sorry for the long wait. Since you've asked your question we've had to make a few changes to how we operate support, as our small team was spending a lot of time on integration help, directly cutting into Uppy development time. Among the changes that we made:

• Windows is not officially a supported platform to run Companion
• We don't provide support to help people run our server software on their own infra (free of charge, that is. more info on https://uppy.io/support/)

As you see that also means we can't be more helpful in this thread. I am very sorry about that.
