I need to pay $10,000 for any amount of extra storage?!

I was told I could request storage using a pro account but not this amount of money for such a small amount of storage. Is there anything I can do?

how much storage did you need, and who told you that?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

The [email protected] email and I only needed 100gb of extra storage

Brody•10mo ago

who specifically did you talk to?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Jake

Brody•10mo ago

jake cooper?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

No idea

Brody•10mo ago

~~well there you have it~~

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

That just seems extremely outrageous as I’m not some enterprise company needing terabytes and stuff but alright.

Brody•10mo ago

https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/developer-platform/r2/ is an option? but may i ask what you would like 100gb for?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Extra file storage for my signing api Hmm I see I’ll definitely check that out

JustJake•10mo ago

Oh I must have entirely misread you I read something about shared storage and hit a macro in the email response. Do you just need your database bumped up storage wise?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Yup just by 100gb to store my api files if that’s possible please

JustJake•10mo ago

Oh. EasyPeasy sorry about that 😵‍💫 Which service?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

lol no worries is it possible I can get it for the whole team for other projects? If not I’ll do my SamSign Main service

JustJake•10mo ago

api.samhubsign.xyz?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Yup

JustJake•10mo ago

You don't seem to have a volume attached to it. You'll have to create one for me to bump it

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

How would I do that might I ask?

JustJake•10mo ago

CMD + K -> Volume

Brody•10mo ago

what storage have you been using up until now?

JustJake•10mo ago

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Not much yet but my team has files that won’t expire and the api will be public to a few thousand people Which signing apps of around 3gb each

Brody•10mo ago

think you misinterpreted my question, if you dont already have a volume, where have you been storing your files

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Just in the same directory area where my project files get copied to Which is the /app folder I think

Brody•10mo ago

thats ephemeral storage, please create a volume on your service

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Oh ok I will What should be the mount path of my volume? Just / ?

JustJake•10mo ago

Wherever you're writing your stuff

Brody•10mo ago

what folder do you save the certs to?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

I’ll just do it in the /app folder which all my project files are stored Alright the volume is setup

Brody•10mo ago

you can't mount a volume there, so for now, mount the volume to /app/data just so cooper has a volume to grow, we can change the mount point later without effecting the size

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Oh ok Done

JustJake•10mo ago

Resized ✅ Sorry for the heart attack

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

No worries I got scarred for a second lol but thank you so much. And this would just be the same process for any other projects/services I would have? Later on

JustJake•10mo ago

Yup just flag us

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Amazing thanks Also how can I store my whole projects files in that volume instead of the /app folder now?

Brody•10mo ago

alright I'm tagging out cooper you wouldn't want store store the entire project in the volume, only the files that need to persist

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

I see but when storing what should I be doing?

Brody•10mo ago

so let's work on that, please show me some code thats responsible for saving the files to disk

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Sure one second

const htmlDirectory = path.join(__dirname, 'storage', 'html');

const htmlDirectory = path.join(__dirname, 'storage', 'html');

const storage = multer.diskStorage({
    destination: function (req, file, cb) {
        if (file.fieldname === 'p12' || file.fieldname === 'mobileprovision') {
            cb(null, 'storage/certs');
        }
        else if (file.fieldname === 'ipa') {
            cb(null, 'storage/temp');
        }
    },
    filename: function (req, file, cb) {
        let ext = path.extname(file.originalname);
        let randomName = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex');
        cb(null, `${randomName}${ext}`);
    }
});

const storage = multer.diskStorage({
    destination: function (req, file, cb) {
        if (file.fieldname === 'p12' || file.fieldname === 'mobileprovision') {
            cb(null, 'storage/certs');
        }
        else if (file.fieldname === 'ipa') {
            cb(null, 'storage/temp');
        }
    },
    filename: function (req, file, cb) {
        let ext = path.extname(file.originalname);
        let randomName = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex');
        cb(null, `${randomName}${ext}`);
    }
});

im basically just using dirname right now for the starting point of where my script is stored

Brody•10mo ago

yeah that's fine are you using nixpacks?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

currently dockerfile but im free to switch over if needed

Brody•10mo ago

no need just gathering information to give you the best answer, what does the last workdir read?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app

WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app

Brody•10mo ago

alright, what's the current mount point

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

no idea i would have never changed it though heres my whole file if needed:

FROM node:latest

# Install unzip, zip, and any other dependencies you might need
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y unzip zip

# Copy your application source
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app

# Install Node.js dependencies
RUN npm install

# Expose port and start application
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "app.js"]

FROM node:latest

# Install unzip, zip, and any other dependencies you might need
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y unzip zip

# Copy your application source
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app

# Install Node.js dependencies
RUN npm install

# Expose port and start application
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "app.js"]

Brody•10mo ago

no idea? you just set the volumes mount point 5 minutes ago

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

oh woops /app/data

Brody•10mo ago

change to /app/storage/certs

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

done

Brody•10mo ago

okay you should be good to go, but to check, upload something that would end up in storage/certs and then redeploy, once that's done, check if the file is still there

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

alrighty ill have to check tomorrow but thank you for everything

Brody•10mo ago

no problem @loyah just wanna check back in, has that mount path worked for you?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

yup its worked great and the storage is working correctly thank you for the concern

Brody•10mo ago

you have confirmed this by uploading something, redeploying, then checking if the file is still there?

loyahdevOP•10mo ago

Yup I have it works

Brody•10mo ago

great!
