Where Does Restyaboard Store Attachments?
Restyaboard card files and backend config paths for self-hosted kanban boards on Linux. And restore steps.
Last updated
Restyaboard keeps card attachments in a media folder inside the web root. Images and files land there per board. That folder is the bulk of disk growth on file heavy teams.
Settings live in server/php/config.inc.php with database passwords. The database links files to cards, so all three must match. Back up media, the config file, and a database dump together for moves. Email-to-board creates cards from inbox. LDAP sync maps directory groups to organizations. Webhooks notify external tools. Cards archive when done.
Where Restyaboard stores this, by platform
/var/www/restyaboard/media
Card attachment root with per board subfolders. Serve with web user ownership. Copy whole tree with the database for migration.
/var/www/restyaboard/server/php/config.inc.php
Database credentials for the Postgres backend. Restrict read access to the web user. Keep a copy off the server with dumps.
