Accessing files/artifacts via path

[tushar-kloud]

I am searching for the location where the flow artifacts and database files are created and stored in memory, specifically through the path (directory location). My goal is to make a copy of the necessary artifacts so that I can reuse them when creating a duplicate of the service. I will be using Docker to set up the LangFlow service.

Hey @tushar-kloud! 👋 I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have. Let's tackle this together!

Langflow stores flow artifacts and database files in the following default locations:

• Linux/WSL2: home/<username>/.cache/langflow/
• MacOS: /Users/<username>/Library/Caches/langflow/

You can access these directories to copy the files for duplicating the LangFlow service using Docker. Additionally, you can customize the storage location by setting the LANGFLOW_CONFIG_DIR environment variable. In a Docker setup, you can specify this environment variable in your docker-compose.yml file, as shown below:

version: "3.8"

services:
  langflow:
    image: langflowai/langflow:latest
    ports:
      - "7860:7860"
    depends_on:
      - postgres
    environment:
      - LANGFLOW_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://langflow:langflow@postgres:5432/langflow
      - LANGFLOW_CONFIG_DIR=/var/lib/langflow
    volumes:
      - langflow-data:/var/lib/langflow

  postgres:
    image: postgres:16
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: langflow
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: langflow
      POSTGRES_DB: langflow
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - langflow-postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data

volumes:
  langflow-postgres:
  langflow-data:

This configuration will store the logs, file storage, monitor data, and secret keys in the /var/lib/langflow directory within the Docker container, which is mapped to the langflow-data volume. You can copy this volume to duplicate the LangFlow service ^[1][2].

I utilized the path provided above for Linux environment : /root/.cache/langflow for replicating the assets. Stored the same in a volume mount and then used the same volume mount in the new langflow instance. I can see that the volume get successfully mounted but the artifacts/flows are not getting reflected in the new service. @dosu
