database does not keep all files

[mictadlo]

Hi @erasche and @nathandunn , I uploaded yeast example to Apollo by using create organism. Next, I deleted the yeast folder from data folder and I got the following error:

Could not load the reference sequence definitions. RequestError: Unable to load data/refSeqs.json status: 404.

Is there a way to store all data inside the database in order to save space?

Thank you in advance,

Mic

So, the way it works we only store the scaffold data (reference sequences in refSeqs.json) for reference. The track information is stored in the directory using regular JBrowse mechanisms and can be updated using trackList.json. Some of the data can be loaded via REST, as well (and so not stored in the directory) and configured in the trackList.json

You should be able to configure additional room or use a symlink.
