Description

I have a rocket chat instance deploy on server using docker-compose.yml method

I did not edit anything other than change ROOT_URL to my server IP

Now I must move the instance to a new server (old one has some disk problem )

I know that I could docker exec -it {mongo container ID} /bin/bash to backup my db and brind to new location.

But when I try to find attachment data, I see nothing in ./uploads folder

So, where is my uploaded attachments and how could I bring it to new server?

Hi! Welcome to our forums!

Please, consider upgrading your server to latest version, 4.3.2 as I write

It will depend on what Storage Type you have chosen:

If it’s GridFS, it will be stored inside Mongo, if it’s File System, it will be at the path you have configured.

thanks for your reply,
I’ve deployed without any custom config, seem it was GridFS,

Thanks, I will check changelog and upgrade it ASAP
