is /data/docs the right path ?

[JOduMonT]

I beleive the path should be: /app/data/docs instead of /data/docs

• Scan for documents from DOCS_DIR (/data/docs)
  

otherwise;

• I don't understand why I can't upload documents in my instance.

Looking at the app source code this seems to just be a display issue: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aopen-webui%2Fopen-webui DOCS_DIR&type=code

The actual path is built via DOCS_DIR = os.getenv("DOCS_DIR", f"{DATA_DIR}/docs") and DATA_DIR on Cloudron is set to /app/data

yes; at the end; the lack of User Interface FeedBack from OpenWebUI and the poor ressource of my server made me wondering if my 600mb of files where being uploading in /data/docs

I guess it was mostly due to the treatments and OCR of PDFs
since it took a while

now I have, almost in triple my files and mostly in /data/docs and /data/uploads
@nebulon do you know which of these directory is the permanent one ?
how should I simply leave those alone ...

[nebulon]

To be clear /data/.. should not actually exist and is not writeable. I guess you mean /app/data/data/...?

Please forgive my ignorance, but I am a beginner.

I'm using Open webui in docker on a Macbook and I'm wondering how and where I can get to the /data/docs directory to store documents there and update them for my RAG via scan...

thx

@Jack-613 this is a Cloudron related forum, so if you are not using OpenWebUI on Cloudron, then you should probably ask in the upstream project instead.
