Changing path for storing the archive¶
By default the archive with cameras is saved in /opt/yucca/data/alloc/ directory, the path is defined by alloc_dir parameter.
If you want to change this behavior, create a directory in a new path and apply permissions to it for the user under which Yucca is run, the default is the user yucca for example:
The directory names and paths are for example.
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/external_drive_8TB/yucca_alloc
sudo chown yucca:yucca /mnt/external_drive_8TB/yucca_alloc
Disk mount
If you have mounted a separate disk, make sure it shows up in df -h, also don't forget to add a mount entry to /etc/fstab so that the disk is mounted when the server reboots.
Stop the Yucca server:
sudo systemctl stop yucca
Replace the parameter in alloc_dir in the configuration:
alloc_dir = "/mnt/external_drive_8TB/yucca_alloc"
YUCCA_SERVER_ALLOC_DIR=/mnt/external_drive_8TB/yucca_alloc
--alloc-dir=/mnt/external_drive_8TB/yucca_alloc
Start the Yucca server:
sudo systemctl start yucca
Verify that files are created in the new directory and the web interface shows the new path in the configuration tab.
