Migration from dev to prod, possible?

[Bbillyben]

Hi there,

I'm trying to move from a typical docker dev environnement to a production one (still on 'latest' tag by the way).

I've done the export from my dev env :

sudo docker-compose run inventree-dev-server invoke export-records -f expdata.json

I've set up my prod env (which works well as far as I can tell), in a brand new folder dedicated to prod, move the json

and trying to import datas :

sudo docker-compose run inventree-server invoke import-records -c -f expdata.json

but wherever I can cp the json and setting the right path, i land on

[+] Running 1/0
⠿ Container inventree-db  Running                                                                                                               0.0s
/home/inventree/data/config.yaml exists - skipping
InvenTree translation coverage: 19%
Error: File /home/inventree/expdata.json' does not exist

I've tryed to import in the dev environnement, and it works easily.
I've updated (invoke udate) on both and re-export/import, but this error still pop.

Is there anything I missed?

[Edit] I can link my docker-compose if needed or my .env.

DB user and passwords are differents from dev to prod.

You have to specify the path to the data file relative to the container environment. If you have placed the file in the external "data" volume, that command should be:

sudo docker-compose run inventree-server invoke import-records -c -f data/expdata.json

thanks @SchrodingersGat ,

And sorry I should have had a more complete description. For the records here is what I've tested before :

I've tryed to specify :

• an absolute path : /stock/ivlprod/expdata.json)
• a path relative to the current folder : ./expdata.json
• a user path : ~/expdata (moving the json of course)
• and maybe some other

and i even test to copy in the data sub folder (set as the docker volume), but my command history let me know i've miserably fail to point to the file........(many times......)

But I've just re-cp in data/ and invoke import with the right relative path, and it went to the whole process.
note

cp expdata.json data/
sudo docker-compose run inventree-server invoke import-records -c -f data/expdata.json

if I still had hair, I would rip them out

The unexplained remain to me is why the import from the current local directory has work in dev and not in prod?!
