I am trying to install appwrite locally for dev and I want to store all the files on an external drive so I can move from computer to computer and dev. Is there a way to change the cmd you run to make it change to a diffrent install location?
You will need to bind all the volumes into a local folder. Then you can just move the folder
Check this message https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1113305575019774013/1113310556540112907 For the right wat to bind docker-compose volume to a folder
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
--mount type=bind,source=/Volumes/Work/appwrite,target=/usr/src/code/appwrite \
--entrypoint="install" \
appwrite/appwrite:1.3.7```
I ran that and it worked but where did the .env go?
This is automatic way, you'll need to go the manual way.
The .env file if exist is an hidden file in unix, so run
ls -lah
In the Appwrite filder to see if it is there
ahh it is hidden!
I see it now!
So I got it working on unix I just need to do it on windows and not overwrite the drive
If you using the same file system, Then yes
