======================

||||
Accessing outside data
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
To use Mayan EDMS's staging folders or watch folders from Docker, the data
|
||||
for these source must be made accessible to the container. This is done by
|
||||
mounting the folders in the host computer to folders inside the container.
|
||||
This is necessary because Docker containers do not have access to host data
|
||||
on purpose. For example, to make a folder in the host accessible as a watch
|
||||
folder, add the following to the Docker command line when starting the
|
||||
container::
|
||||
|
||||
-v /opt/scanned_files:/scanned_files
|
||||
|
||||
The command line would look like this::
|
||||
|
||||
docker run ... -v /opt/scanned_files:/scanned_files mayanedms/mayanedms:latest
|
||||
|
||||
Now create a watch folder in Mayan EDMS using the path ``/scanned_files``
|
||||
and the documents from the host folder ``/opt/scanned_files`` will be
|
||||
automatically available. Use the same procedure to mount host folders to be
|
||||
used as staging folders. In this example ``/scanned_files`` was used as the
|
||||
container directory, but any path can be used as long as:
|
||||
|
||||
- the path not an already existing path
|
||||
- the path is not used by any other program
|
||||
- the path is a single level path
