persistent storage for Docker build

[scheckley]

Hi,

I am attempting to deploy Kotaemon on OpenShift using the Docker deployment. I create a symbolic link to a persistent storage volume in the docker file:

  ln -s /storage/ktem_app_data /tmp/build/app/ktem_app_data && \
    chown -h 1001:0 /tmp/build/app/ktem_app_data

This does persist the settings however, document upload creates errors like this:

File "/tmp/build/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gradio/processing_utils.py", line 456, in _move_to_cache
raise ValueError(
ValueError: File /storage/ktem_app_data/gradio_tmp/cccafee7adb0cd7a1b6cd0817c05a474dee6dcd9/my_book.pdf is not in the upload folder and cannot be accessed.

Has anybody else encountered issues when moving the ktem_app_data folder somewhere else? I'm not sure why there would be an issue writing the gradio_tmp. I can access the pod via terminal and create files in that folder, and documents can be deleted from the UI so it can access other folders in ktem_app_data, just not wherever the upload folder is.

Thanks for any help.
