Persistent storage

Using Volumes

If you are using volumes for persistent storage, permissions in the mount path must be www-data:www-data to enable Chevereto to write those volumes.

Run this command in the Chevereto container to set the right permissions:

/bin/bash -c 'chown -R www-data: images/ importing/'

Permissions check

Enter to the container console /bin/bash. Once there, run ls -la to list the file system. You should see something like this:

www-data@20d1427c6727:~/html$ ls -la
total 52
drwxrwxrwx  8 www-data www-data 4096 Apr  1 18:56 .
drwxr-xr-x  1 root     root     4096 Mar 29 01:50 ..

Volume reference

Volume Mount path Purpose
Chevereto volume /var/www/html/ Chevereto application files
Storage volume /var/www/html/images/ User uploads + assets (avatars, logos, etc)

Chevereto

This volume is for storing the application files shared between containers php and http.

👉 This keep the application files shared between containers.

Storage

This volume is for storing user uploaded images and assets namely user avatars, website logos, background images, etc.

👉 This is used when you don't add any External storage provider to Chevereto.

Using external services

Chevereto supports external storage providers for user generated content and website assets. It support any mixture of configurations as you may need to customize. Refer to the following reference for more information on service providers for storage:

Troubleshoot

No persistence

The compose project name could be altered due to a change in NAMESPACE, TARGET. If this happens, do the following:

  1. Run docker volume ls and locate the volumes used by your project
  2. Run make feedback--volumes to determine the volumes in the current context
  3. For each volume, copy from the volume (1) to (2):
make volume-cp VOLUME_FROM=<from_volume> VOLUME_TO=<to_volume>

For example:

make volume-cp VOLUME_FROM=local_chevereto-build_database VOLUME_TO=chevereto_chevereto_database
make volume-cp VOLUME_FROM=local_chevereto-build_storage VOLUME_TO=chevereto_chevereto_storage

After that, restart containers:

make restart

If everything went well the system will reflect the existing persistance layer, from there you can remove the old volumes from (1):

make volume-rm local_chevereto-build_database
make volume-rm local_chevereto-build_storage
