Storage

The following filesystems are provisioned per environment:

  • Public = Files which can be accessed by anonymous users. (Nginx / PHP)
  • Private = Files which have to be accessed with authentication. (PHP)
  • Temporary = Used when performing operations on files. (PHP)

The mount paths are passed to the application as config.

skpr config list dev | grep mount

mount.public          	/data/app/sites/default/files                     
mount.temporary       	/mnt/temporary                                    
mount.private         	/mnt/private

Drupal 10 and 11​

$settings['file_public_path'] = 'sites/default/files';
$config['system.file']['path']['temporary'] = $skpr_config->get('mount.temporary') ?: '/tmp';
$settings['file_private_path'] = $skpr_config->get('mount.private') ?: '/private';
note

Drupal requires $settings['file_public_path'] to be a relative path.

Drupal 8 and 9 (Legacy)​

The configuration is identical to Drupal 10+:

$settings['file_public_path'] = 'sites/default/files';
$config['system.file']['path']['temporary'] = $skpr_config->get('mount.temporary') ?: '/tmp';
$settings['file_private_path'] = $skpr_config->get('mount.private') ?: '/private';

Drupal 7 (End of Life)​

warning

Drupal 7 reached end of life in January 2025. These instructions are provided for reference only.

$conf['file_public_path'] = 'sites/default/files';

$conf['file_private_path'] = $skpr_config->get('mount.private') ?: '/private';
