Mounting a volume

Hi! is there a way to upload files to a volume or mount it on my local mahcine?

Not mounting it, but you can use this template to mount the volume and manipulate the data.

N/A
You will have to unmount your volume from your current service and mount it to the template

it cant access the files for some reason

is it a permission issue?

@Brody you made this template

ah

its trying to use /data/storage

Then that is where you need to mount your volume

welp ill mount it there then
yeh

just mount it to /data

oh now its using data/storage/storage
did that but it didnt work

well it was only a matter of time before someone broke it

By default, the storage location is set to the storage subdirectory in the root of the volume, but by setting a service variable USE_VOLUME_ROOT to 1 you can opt to use the root of the volume as the storage location instead

ah
thats probably the problem

From the overview of the template

i see stuff now but its not my volume

the template comes with a volume

i should use that?

its up to you
you can always unmount it and mount your volume

but will it like save the stuff i make in here?
to the root of the volume

thats what USE_VOLUME_ROOT is for
so when you went to deploy the template, did you change the volume mount point or something?

no i took the docker thing and made it in my project myself
cause it didnt seem like i could transfer it to another project

did it not come with a volume when you deployed it like that?

nop

that's not good

hmm it didnt work

and when you mounted a volume to it, what was the first mount point that you did?

/data

okay and what isn't working now

oh i see the problem :P
pocketbase is running in /pb
and i mounted it to another thing
hey it worked

it found my backup!

it restored successfully, thanks for your help!

can't you upload and download backups from pocketbase itself?

you can download but not upload
kinda stupid

I see
agree
