Hi, I have a pioneer edition fb running mediawiki. I installed the mediawiki app via plinth and that’s great but I noticed everything is being stored on the inbuilt storage and not on my ssd connected by sata (its all mounted and everything).
Everything is being stored in /var/lib/ (both media wiki folder and the mediawiki-db folder).
I would prefer to save everything in a folder mounted to my ssd which is /media
is it possible to do this? i.e. can the app access this location?
@finlay Ability to store and use data on an external disk is coming in a few months.
Currently, you will need to set this up manually. I haven’t tried this myself but please try the following:
Move the directory /var/lib/mediawiki to external drive. The file system on the external drive’s partition must support proper unix ownership and permission. So, use a filesystem like btrfs, ext4, xfs, etc. While copying ensure that permissions and ownership are preserved.
Link /var/lib/mediawiki to the new path of the folder.
Thanks, I got it to work now - the main thing was getting the mounts and symlink right but i’ve tested it and it’s all working nicely. Thanks for the help.
