[SOLVED] Self-hosted storage bucket

[copper orchid]

Is it possible to configure the storage path of a bucket if I'm running self-hosted docker and a local fs?

[tranquil magnet]

You either choose the local filesystem or a bucket. You cant use both at the same time

yea, but then on the console I need to create a new storage bucket, no?

[tranquil magnet]

not sure I get you

[copper orchid]

I'm running the default "local" configuration, I want to store files so I do need to add a bucket:

[tranquil magnet]

Sure, you can create a bucket here. The buckets here simply represent folders to group your files and are not related to buckes from cloud providers like s3 etc.

[copper orchid]

great, where can I find those files on the local fs? can I configure it?

[tranquil magnet]

they are stored in a docker volume called appwrite-uploads .

[tranquil magnet]

You can configure it to a path on your local filesystem. .You need to update that line in your docker compose to point to a folder on your local file system and restart the stack.

Hope that makes sense ?

@tranquil magnet I've tried that and it didn't work, I've updated the yml to be

    volumes:
      - appwrite-uploads:/home/ubuntu/bucket-storage:rw
      - appwrite-cache:/storage/cache:rw
      - appwrite-config:/storage/config:rw
      - appwrite-certificates:/storage/certificates:rw
      - appwrite-functions:/storage/functions:rw

and then restarted the appwrite, but when I've uploaded a file via the console ui, I don't see it on that directory

Hey you've updated the mounts on the right hand side of the declaration.. The right hand side refers to the location inside the docker conitainer and not your host machine

[copper orchid]

so should I update both sides?

      - /home/ubuntu/bucket-storage:/home/ubuntu/bucket-storage:rw
      - appwrite-uploads:/storage/uploads:rw
      - appwrite-cache:/storage/cache:rw
      - appwrite-config:/storage/config:rw
      - appwrite-certificates:/storage/certificates:rw
      - appwrite-functions:/storage/functions:rw

[tranquil magnet]

no. just the left side 👍

[copper orchid]

[tranquil magnet]
