If you have added the volume on the current instance and restart => files uploaded before that already gone => no image appear
All the files you upload AFTER will work. If not, check the CHMOD of the folder you have created and mapped

Would be very helpful to share either the docker run command or the compose file. But as @meager robin mentioned, it sounds the the volume (which persists any "custom" data) was not set up correctly.

Hello, here is my configuration.. i don't have explicitly set a volume mapping "see on top of image"... It's important to notice that the deployment is done of front of plesk, i didn't use command line...
on top of this image i can set up a volume mapping. I've tried to add this but didn't seems to work (i could come from my settings)
Do you have an example of volume mapping for directus ? What i tried didn't worked 😦
@vital fox @meager robin
meager robin
On your image, I do not think that's the volume mapping there.
Lemme help you
Please DM me your Teamviewer/Anydesk, I will help you to config.
vital fox
still an issue? Would be helpful to share the solution to help others as well 🙂
meager robin
Yeah, still having issue, need to help her first, then update here.
You see the image? there's no volume mapping, screenshot was env values
vital fox
yes, I'm not sure if cut of OR if there is any mapped volume above the screenshot 😄
pretty sure the volume was missing – ran into this issue several times when I had started using Docker
empty wraith
what is certain : my configuration doesnt explecitly map a volume
as said on top of the image : mappage de volume is volume mapping is not set up. Do you have a common setting for that ?
vital fox
do you setup the container in this tool (what is it?) or by just running a command?
vital fox
you have to map some folder from the Host into the container:
e.g. (path/on/host:path/in/container)
./uploads:/directus/uploads
So you have to create a mapping there, some folder on the host to this within the container
so my local host has after the start a new directory called "uploads" which contain everything thats inside the container at "directus/uploads", after restarting the container, all the data is still on the host system and therefore within your container as well
vital fox
depending on the GUI your are using this might work, but I don't know which gui this is, and how it is managing the volumes
empty wraith
do you have an idea the path to use : left is container, right is host (i definitely dont understand waht it correspond to)
vital fox
could also be needed to create the volume manually within the gui and refer an ID to the mapping, as it is done by my GUI:
empty wraith
oh i see
vital fox
it "sync" all the data (files) between the host system and the container
empty wraith
i'll try to find the id of the volume
vital fox
so the files actually exist only once, but are reachable (like an USB stick) within the container
it really depends on the GUI - as mentioned there is no need for an ID but there could be an ID
I would also recommend to store the data not on /uploads within the host, as this is the the first level of the root system.. something like "/myuser/my-app/data/uploads/" would be better. But it might be helpful to read though the docker basics before for a better understanding how it is working. Basically it's not related to Directus it self, it just a Docker thing 😄
vital fox
e.g. if using the managed volumes from the GUI, the ID it self will be replaced with the actual path:
empty wraith
i do some test and share the solution 😉
vital fox
but keep in mind the data is dropped if you delete the folder, but feel free to move it around and place it "wherever" you want
empty wraith
i'm so angry, it doesnt work 😦 every time docker restart, the image links are broken ....
vital fox
as @meager robin mentioned, it's kind of hard to assist in those cases w/o access, especially if you're new to Docker
what is this application gui called, you're using?
meager robin
what is this application gui called, you're using?
She's using Plesk panel come with OVH VPS
Problem solved, usually we do mapping is: host-path:container-path
but on Plesk, it's opposite, should input container-path:host-path
guided her to create a folder, set permission then input the right place, worked
