Configure Storage Directories#

Configure the Assets Directory#

ASSET_STORAGE_DIR is the host path used to store uploaded files to. If not specified, container local storage is used.

To configure, add ASSET_STORAGE_DIR=<ASSET_DIR_ON_HOST> to the .env file before deploying.

Note

Make sure the directory ASSET_DIR_ON_HOST is writable by non root users. You can try running: chmod -R 777 <ASSET_DIR_ON_HOST> to make it writable.

Configure the Input Video Streams Directory#

You might want to skip uploading files using Gradio and instead add them from a local path.

To do this, use EXAMPLE_STREAMS_DIR environment config, which allows you to specify a directory containing sample streams for Gradio UI to load.

For each video file, create a poster image file with name <video.mp4>.poster.jpg. Example command to generate a poster image:

ffmpeg -i <video.mp4> -vframes 1 <video.mp4>.poster.jpg

The SAMPLE_STREAMS_DIR_ON_HOST contents should look like this:

ls <SAMPLE_STREAMS_DIR_ON_HOST>/
video1.mp4 video1.mp4.poster.jpg video2.mp4 video2.mp4.poster.jpg image1.jpg image2.jpg

To configure, add EXAMPLE_STREAMS_DIR=<SAMPLE_STREAMS_DIR_ON_HOST> to the .env file before deploying.
