Concerns regading uploads

The entire espocrm/data directory is mounted to a docker volume.

version: '3.3'
services:
  webserver:
    volumes:
      - database-configurations:/crm/espocrm/data
    command: "nginx -g 'daemon off;'"
volumes:
  database-configurations:

This issue is not just for uploads. Too or more containers cannot have different config.php and connect to same database because their key to decrypt passwords will change and the initial container will not be able to connect to database. This was the first issue I had to resolve while dockerising espocrm.

Different issues will occur and logs will be generated. Needed to aggregate logs into one place. So, mounted data/logs.

We cannot clear_cache in each container every time we make changes to Resources/metadata. Hence clearing cache in one container should clear file cache in all containers. Two or more containers cannot have different versions of cache files. Will cause problems for users when using espocrm. Hence data/cache was mounted.

Finally, data/upload is needed of course and data/backup. Hence we mount the entire data directory to persistent volume. You can make S3 as a place to store there folders also, but I am not sure how it's done. I am sure ECS will have something in their configurations to do that.

So, it's persistent across containers. Just like the database. Does that clear your concern? Let me know if you need something else and let's take this conversation
