sql database env for doccano

[robertosussex]

Dear Sir or Madam,

We have created a Module on our HPC that loads doccano that has been installed with "pip install" using one of the Python versions available.

It works fine, however, I wonder:

1. If a user (standard, Linux wise, but admin Doccano wise) starts the doccano webserver and runs some admin, the updated data will be
   saved to the ~/doccano/db.sqlite3 file.

2. The position and permissions of this DB is obviously user dependent as far as Linux is concerned.

3. When another user accesses the portal with http://IP:8000 he/she will not be able to access the database. Is that correct?

4. Is there and Environment variable that can be specified to put the DataBase in a shared directory that can be accessed/able by every Doccano user?

I apologize if some of the questions is repetitive and/or if I may have missed something from the Documentation.

With kind regards

...also how do:

1. List users in doccano

2. Change passwords

3. Remove users

I imagine I will have to use the proper interface for that rather than the command line interface?

Please advice
Kind regards
Roberto

I have the same need. I would like to collaborate between several users and annotate texts.
I have installed the default configuration with the database Sqlite 3 (through pip install, python 3.10 and Windows). The db.sqlite3 file is located to my %HOME%/doccano folder created during doccano init. This is the case for each user. So, we work separately and the results are not shared between us.
I am wondering if it is possible to redirect the location of the file db.sqlite3 to a shared environment during init for all the users and if it will solve the issue?
