Question: Does FT create some sort of local cache? #2

Closed sgofferj closed 3 years ago

Does FT create some kind of local cache? I did a make rebuild on the docker setup and the thumbnails are gone and I cannot access any workouts any more. The workout list is fine and I checked with pgadmin - the database seem fine too.

Uploaded files and generated static maps are stored in upload directory (see environment variable UPLOAD_FOLDER), which is in fittrackee container. rebuild command recreates fittrackee container. I will look how to create and use external volume to avoid losing data (I'll move this issue in docker-fittrackee repo).

I'm not sure if this is a good practice, but make update upgrades FitTrackee to the latest version from PyPI (and make migrate updates database, if needed) without rebuilding container.

Persistant volumes would be the way to go for persistant data. If I understand it right, the docker philosophy says that a container should always be disposable and all data that need to be persistant should be on persistant volumes. Having the UPLOAD_FOLDER envvar should be fine. I probably should have read the whole docs before installing.

Here is my fix:

changed .env: export UPLOAD_FOLDER=/uploads

added to docker-compose.yml:

    volumes:
      - fittrackee_upload:/uploads:rw

Thanks, I updated docker-compse.yml and .env.example file.
