storage of photos of experiments on system and in directories ?

[RICFE]

Hi,

when you upload photos to the experiences where the photos are stored on the OS ?

and on the host sytem and into /var/lib/docker/overlay2/b7e................................../merged/elabftw/uploads and /diff/elabftw/uploads ?

Thanks for advance.

Uploaded files are stored in /elabftw/uploads in the container, which is generally mapped to /var/elabftw/web or any other directory on the host. It is defined in this part: https://github.com/elabftw/elabimg/blob/5e44a25ef6b4e496f67273fbe50ee98100d41bbb/src/docker-compose.yml-EXAMPLE#L292-L297

And if you want more information, the official documentation is here: https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/

Hi

to the other question,

yes I recovered the images in the directory /var/elabftw/web of my old installation

but can I copy in bulk in my current installation ? because users no longer seem to be able to access their photos!

Thanks.

Yes, you can copy these files, but make sure to fix the permissions!

chown -R 101:101 /var/elabftw/web

as described here: https://doc.elabftw.net/backup.html#how-to-restore-a-backup

Hello,

thanks !
as I copied the images/pictures after importing the database,

maybe that’s why I only see green squares on experience !

Shouldn't we also copy the contents of the /var/lib/docker/image/overlay2/overlay2/layerdb/sha256/......... directory?

Sorry !

finally, it's ok because I hadn't chosen the right perimeter !
and the experiences have their images very well.

Bye
