Symlink backup folder to mounted volume

support
1

Hey there,

I’m trying to use a mounted volume for my backups but I can’t seem to get it right. I tried mounting the volume into place (/var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default) and tried symlinking the default folder to a different mount folder. I copied the ownership of files and folder over as much as I could see but all I get is a server error in the admin backup section. It can’t seem to read the existing backup files that I copied over and also can’t create new ones there.

Any idea what may go wrong here?

thanks,
Helmi

You need to set this up in the volumes section of your app.yml. Here’s my configuration:

## The Docker container is stateless; all data is stored in /shared
volumes:
  - volume:
      host: /var/discourse/shared/standalone
      guest: /shared
  - volume:
      host: /var/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log
      guest: /var/log
  - volume:
      host: /mnt/discourse-data/tombstone
      guest: /shared/uploads/tombstone
  - volume:
      host: /mnt/discourse-data/optimized
      guest: /shared/uploads/default/optimized
  - volume:
      host: /mnt/discourse-data/backups
      guest: /shared/backups
