Where can assets exposed through docker container be found?

[c0smicdev]

I am running glance on a docker container, where I have exposed a volume, which inside the container is available /app/assets/. The directory contains an image service.png. I am trying to have a monitor widget as follows:

- type: monitor
  cache: 1m
  title: Services
  sites:
    - title: Service
      url: localhost:xxx
      icon: /assets/service.png

However, when I launch glance, the image can't be found.

I have tried various locations like /static/ without success. Where could the asset be found?

Hey,

Assets get served under the /assets/ path on your Glance instance, so like this:

https://glance.your-domain.com/assets/service.png

Just to confirm that they are being served, you can have a look at the logs via docker logs <CONTAINER NAME OR ID>. You should see:

INFO Serving assets path=/app/assets

If that's the case then it might be worth double checking what's mounted under that directory:

docker exec <CONTAINER NAME OR ID> ls /app/assets

You should see service.png listed.

If everything looks fine one last thing you could check is if you've manually set the assets-path property in your glance.yml and whether it ends with a /, if that's the case try removing it.

Thank you, I've managed to solve the issue.

In the end, the error was that I mounted a volume at /app/assets but forgot to add this line to my config:

server:
  assets-path: /app/assets
