Rocket chat file storage ?

[KenN7]

Hi,

I used your image to install my rocket.chat instance, it works fine but i cannot manage to find
where the uploaded files and avatars are stored ?
I think there is a volume missing so that they would get saved if the image is restarted ?
Thanks,
Regards,

Yes. @KenN7 Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

In the latest builds, both uploaded files and avatars are stored into MongoDB via GridFS by default. So any problem will go away.

You can change the storage target settings in the administration panel; or you can try the rocketchat/Rocket.Chat image (updated frequently) if you need a fix quick.

I am also running into a similar problem with version 0.58.3 using gridFS

error logs I receive are

[Error: FileNotFound: no file with id vCDpXfD42Q4c2nRp4 found]

every time I try to upload a file from web or desktop app. Everything else seems to be working so I am confused what is causing this issue. I followed the instructions verbatim.

EDIT:
FIXED THIS ISSSUE by changing the domain url from the correct outside proxy access point. My apologies. but want to leave this here for anyone else that comes along the same issue, check your ROOT_URL and make sure it is proper to how you are accessing rocket.chat.

Closing this. Please see docs for file storage methods.

@kev2316 Yes, changing the Site Url to it's correct value in Settings > General fixed the issue for me.
