Cannot export or backup task - shared_path in Windows

[arman258]

My actions before raising this issue

• Read/searched the docs
• Searched past issues

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Mount the shared path using how to mount a share path for the big dataset in windows os. #1472 (comment)
   docker volume create --name cvat_cvat_share --opt type=none --opt device=C:\Users\Arman\Downloads\Compressed --opt o=bind
2. Import the images, create a task, and start annotating
3. Export or backup task with images included gives the error:
   Error: Request failed with status code 500. "datumaro.components.errors.ItemExportError: Failed to export item ('spk_airport/RW12/221020_134008_012_FH_frame_2361', 'default')\n".

Expected Behaviour

Although the images are loaded correctly, when exporting, CVAT is looking in '/home/django/share/[image_path]'\n". which is not the correct directory C:\Users\Arman\Downloads\Compressed[image_path]

Your Environment

• Git hash commit (git log -1): 29be40d
• Docker version docker version (e.g. Docker 17.0.05): 20.10.22, build 3a2c30b
• Operating System and version (e.g. Linux, Windows, MacOS): Windows WSL2 backend
• Other diagnostic information / logs: https://gist.github.com/arman258/ba4ab56f2bf672e98260528ccbec79d5

Okay, I figured it out.

For anyone on Windows, use #1472 and make sure to use PowerShell when entering the windows path, e.g.,
docker volume create --name cvat_cvat_share --opt type=none --opt device=dir_path --opt o=bind

Create your docker-compose.override.yml as:

services:
  cvat_server:
    volumes:
      - cvat_share:/home/django/share:ro
  cvat_worker_import:
    volumes:
      - cvat_share:/home/django/share:ro
  cvat_worker_export:
    volumes:
      - cvat_share:/home/django/share:ro

volumes:
  cvat_share:

Adding the cvat_worker_export did the trick.
