Can't Save images locally

[ItsNik-yaml]

Hey Guys I am trying to upload some pdfs/images to my self hosted outline instance...

I always get this error:

This is my docker compose and the docker.env file.

Docker Compose:

So as you can see I am using local storage instead of an AWS Bucket.

Additional Info:

• Running behind NGINX Proxy Manager (Websockets enabled and all that)
• Running through Cloudflare (unproxied)
• Iframely on the same host

(why is it so painful to setup... I miss simple docker deployments)

What request is the error coming from?
Look at the request being made to the server, is a value for acl being passed – if so, what is it?

[Its4Nik]

What request is the error coming from?
POST request

BadRequestError: Validation isIn on acl failed (acl)
at ApiClient.fetch (https://outline.XXX.de/static/assets/index-n2a2VIsz.js:40:290211)
at async uploadFile (https://outline.XXX.de/static/assets/index-n2a2VIsz.js:49:251531)
at async https://outline.XXX.de/static/assets/Section-TYkv_nnP.js:1:1345745

[tommoor]

You didn't provide the request body, but the only real explanation is that AWS_S3_ACL is set to value other than "private" or "public-read" in your environment.

[Its4Nik]

AWS_S3_ACL is set to value other than "private" or "public-read" in your environment.

well I ain't using AWS...
I read somewhere this can all be hosted locally or am i wrong?
Because saving text data isnt really different from saving pictures imo.

[tommoor]

I can't really say, but you'll get a lot more useful information in the network tab of the browser developer tools including probably an error message.

[Its4Nik]

well thats where to output is from

okay this line is interesting:

but its inside the docker container...

[Darkdragon84]

did you mount this path in a docker volume? I had this problem when I mounted a folder on the host machine and someone else wanted to upload a file. It works fine if you use a named docker volume. If you don't mount anything, this doesn't make sense

[Its4Nik]

yes i did, but since the permissions outside the container weren't right it didn't have the right access to save files. Kinda stupid ik, butt hey I learn from my mistakes :)

but its inside the docker container...

to dont have a really long reply chain

[Its4Nik]

permissions inside docker

[tommoor]

This is covered in the documentation here:
https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/file-storage-N4M0T6Ypu7#h-file-system-folder

[Its4Nik]

Yeah now it works...

Idea: You could add that to the docker install documentation since it isnt mentioned there anywhere.

But thank you very much!
