I have about 20gb of space left and rather than upgrading my AWS Lightsail instance to the next level up I would rather just add an attached drive. I have done this and mounted it but I am unsure of what I need to do for Discourse to use it for either future uploads (hey wouldn’t that be nice) or mo…

Well, the same syntax that they use to have /var/discourse/shared/standalone map to /shared. But I think you want a bit more than the syntax. I think you’re more interested in the astral semantics, and I can’t remember exactly all the pieces, especially on my phone.

In broad strokes, you can rsync /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads to the new drive and then add another line in the app.yml to direct /shared/uploads to the new path.

Thanks Jay, very helpful! What syntax should one use in app.yml to achieve that?

@Jim_Starkweather were you able to resolve your issue? If @pfaffman ’s post helped, please give him a pat on the back for it by marking it as the solution. (look for the box with the checkmark in it on the post menu)

是否有将 `/uploads` 移动到新附加磁盘驱动器的指南？

谢谢 Jay，非常有帮助！在 app.yml 中应该使用什么语法来实现这一点？
