I’ve uploaded my backup via SSH to the new storage drive and it isn’t showing in the admin section. My app.yml looks like this per the instructions here - Move Uploads and Backups to DigitalOcean Block Storage ## The Docker container is stateless; all data is stored in /shared volumes: - volume: host: /mnt/volume_lon1_01/shared/standalone guest: /shared - volume: host: /mnt/volume_lon1_01/shared/standalone/log/var-log guest: /var/log - volume: host: /var/postgres_data_discourse guest: /shared/postgres_data This is frying my brain…

Did you rebuild the application after changing/adding those values?

Yes I rebuilt the application after making changes

What is the directory supposed to be? Backups or backups/default? Currently the backup is in /backups

Will try restoring it via command line today if I can’t get it to show in the UI

[image] Vaping_Community: backups/default That’s where. You can make a backup to see where they are stored. [image] Vaping_Community: Will try restoring it via command line today if I can’t get it to show in the UI It’s the same code so that won’t change anything

I just made a backup but can’t find it anywhere, logs show.. [2022-03-01 10:05:53] Making sure '/var/www/discourse/public/backups/default' exists... But it doesn’t exist! Where could the backup be? I thought the backup would be on the new storage drive, what am I missing here? Should ./launcher rebuild app reset the forum everytime? I cannot upload anything, images etc either, I hate that this always breaks my build when I follow what I feel should be decent guides on doing things, I just wanted to add some storage to my existing hosting, now I’m without a website, so frustrating :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Started again using the “official guide” will create a snapshot when it’s installed so I can revert if needed

[image] Vaping_Community: But it doesn’t exist! Where could the backup be? That’s the path inside the container. I think the backup should be in /mnt/volume_lon1_01/shared/standalone/backups/default outside the container.

That’s what I thought but it wasn’t there either I also couldn’t upload anything to posts, images etc just got an error, I don’t think that guide for storage works

Did you move all of that stuff to the new location? What do you see in /mnt/volume_lon1_01/shared/standalone and/or /mnt/volume_lon1_01/shared/

DO Storage and uploaded backups not showing
