Logo, avatars, and post images all disappeared.
I checked the uploads folder for one of the images - they are not there.
What might have happened, and any chance to recover?
I tried:
./launcher enter app
rake uploads:recover
rake posts:rebake
as well as rebuilding Docker image with ./launcher rebuild app.
Also, tried rake posts:missing_uploads and it output 0 post uploads are missing..
Did you migrate from Discourse.org hosting without downloading your images? Where do the broken images point to?
No migration. Images just disappeared one day.
One thing is that might or might not be important is that I attached a block storage when setting up Discourse, and mapped directories in app.yml like this:
- volume:
host: /mnt/blockstorage/shared/standalone
guest: /shared
Then it worked just fine for ~2-3 months or so. Then one day images just disappeared without me doing anything (except maybe rebuilding in order to update Discourse to the latest version).
Sounds like you lost your block storage somehow.
Does the block storage still exist? Do you see files in /mnt/blockstorage/shared/standalone?
The block storage does exist, and I can find NEW images in there — the ones I uploaded recently.
but the old ones are missing?
And there is nothing in tombstone?
Yes
Not sure what is tombstone and how/where I check it?
It’s under uploads somewhere. You might try
find /path/to/images -name filename-of-some-image.jpg
to look for a missing image.
There is also a
rake uploads:recover_from_tombstone
(If I remember and type correctly)
