Ignition's data folder structure can lead to long file paths that may require special consideration when working with tags, Perspective view layouts, and external resources to manipulate files. These long files paths can cause problems especially for Windows user workflows, such as when backing up directories and not all files being copied over completely since Windows API has a filepath limit of 255 characters. Additional issues may also occur with other applications that do not accommodate for long filepaths.

📄️ Accessing Projects Remotely

This page provides an overview of different methods to access your Ignition Vision and Perspective projects from a remote location. Once created, Perspective and Vision projects can be opened without additional configuration by using the Gateway's IP address. If you want more secure options, you can connect to your Gateway’s local network using a VPN, expose specific ports to the internet via port forwarding, or use a reverse proxy for an additional layer of security.

📄️ Migrating Servers

This page outlines the steps to migrate an Ignition Gateway from one server to another. A common use case for this would be if you are upgrading server hardware running Ignition in order to increase performance of the Ignition Gateway by providing additional server hardware resources.
