NodePit Space
NodePit Space is storage for your KNIME workflows, available to every registered NodePit user. Save a workflow once, and open it from any machine, keep it as a backup, or share it with colleagues or with everyone. It appears next to your local workspace (in the Modern UI’s space explorer, or in the KNIME Explorer of the classic user interface), so using it feels like using another folder.
Setting it up
Space needs NodePit for KNIME and a NodePit account. An account is free, and you can create one on nodepit.com.
- Install the latest version of NodePit for KNIME.
- Click Preferences in the top right corner (in the classic user interface, File → Preferences). Go to KNIME → NodePit and enter the username and password of your NodePit account.
- In the same dialog, go to KNIME → KNIME Explorer and add a new mount point of the type NodePit.
- Close the preferences. NodePit Space now shows up as NodePit: in the Modern UI among the spaces of the space explorer, and in the classic user interface as a new entry in the KNIME Explorer.
Your Space lives at https://nodepit.com/space/<username>, and it is the same storage whichever way you reach it.
Using it
In the Modern UI, upload workflows from your local space to NodePit, or create, move, and rename them right in your Space. In the classic user interface, drag and drop workflows into your Space in the KNIME Explorer. Either way, KNIME uploads them. To open a workflow on another machine, set up Space there in the same way. A workflow in your Space behaves like any other remote workflow: open it, edit it, and save it back.
Private and public
A Space has two areas. Everything you put into the public folder is shared: NodePit indexes it right away, and it shows up on the website under Workflows → NodePit Space → your username → public. Browse there, copy the link of a workflow, and send it to anyone who should have it. They can download the workflow from NodePit.
Everything you put anywhere else is private, for your use only.
WARNING
Check what you put into the public folder before you do. Everything in it is public, including the data a workflow contains. Reset a workflow to remove its data before you share it.
Size limit
A single workflow can be up to 20 megabytes. If an upload fails with “Unexpected response (413 Payload Too Large)”, the workflow is above the limit. Reset the workflow before you upload it, or remove large files from the workflow folder.
When NodePit Space does not show up
If NodePit Space does not appear in the space explorer or the KNIME Explorer, go through the setup again. The usual cause is a missing mount point of the type NodePit, or missing credentials in the NodePit preferences. Check both, close the preferences, and look again.
