These are technical instructions for users who use Docker to deploy Specify 7
Mount the directory as a volume in the asset server container/home/specify/attachments/ - into this directory inside the container
In that directory, web asset server expects the following two directories -
The all-in-one has this config for asset server:
asset-server:
restart: unless-stopped
image: specifyconsortium/specify-asset-service
init: true
volumes:
- "attachments:/home/specify/attachments"
environment:
- SERVER_NAME=host.docker.internal
- SERVER_PORT=80
- ATTACHMENT_KEY=your asset server access key
- DEBUG_MODE=false
Where attachments: in - "attachments:/home/specify/attachments" is a docker volume
Defined at line 10 in the docker-compose.yml:
volumes:
attachments: # the asset-servers attachment files
instead, can replace - "attachments:/home/specify/attachments" with i.e - "/some/dir/on/my/system:/home/specify/attachments"
and then remove the attachments: # the asset-servers attachment files line
