Hello. Is it possible to change location of “tmp” dir and how? For example now my tmp dir is in /var/discourse/tmp and i want temp files to be created in /tmp/discourse-tmp

the problem is because i mounted discourse from host to docker, so folder /var/discourse in shared directory between host (which is on windows) and client os (which is on linux). And because of that, there are some problems. One of the problem i described today: Problem with development on Windows…

I’d just move all of Discourse to a non-stupid file system (Actually, I quit using Windows around Win98). Failing that, you can add a volume for just /tmp.

What problem are you trying to solve?

One solution might be do create a docker volume for /tmp that points to wherever you want on the host file system.
