Picture folder location

[jerryhager]

I use the docker versio of pigallery
I want to change the picture folder to a external location, to accomplish this i created a bind volume which directs to a external loaction as a path (/data/pictures).

In the container the path exists and i can get to it in the container console.

I can not edit the folder location in the UI, is keeps turning back to the default location. editiing in de config.json file does not do te trick either.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

With docker tmp, images and these settings are fixed:

pigallery2/docker/debian-stretch/Dockerfile.build

Lines 21 to 24 in b68d5d1

	"--config-path=/app/data/config/config.json", \
	"--Server-Database-dbFolder=/app/data/db", \
	"--Server-Media-folder=/app/data/images", \
	"--Server-Media-tempFolder=/app/data/tmp"]

They should not be changed within the container, rather you should point your volumes to the right folder on your host.

Edit docker-compose.yml here (change ./pigallery2/images to your images folder):

pigallery2/docker/docker-compose/default/docker-compose.yml

Lines 22 to 25 in b68d5d1

	- "./pigallery2/config:/app/data/config"
	- "db-data:/app/data/db"
	- "./pigallery2/images:/app/data/images"
	- "./pigallery2/tmp:/app/data/tmp"

Or set up the path correctly if you are running directly:

  -v <path to your config file folder>/config.json:/app/data/config/config.json \
   -v <path to your db file folder>:/app/data/db \
   -v <path to your images folder>:/app/data/images \
   -v <path to your temp folder>:/app/data/tmp \

If you really want to override these settings within docker, you can try setting them as environmental variables :

 environment:
 - Server-Media-folder=<your path>

Also this is related: #114

thanks for the quick reply, I tried the ENV variant but in capitals ;-(
Using them in normal letters did the trick!

Now experimenting with Pigallery, so far is looks very nice en exactly what I searched for!
