MUP (meteor) deploy deletes files

Question

Sadly although mup deploy works perfectly, I have a folder called ".uploads", which users can upload files into.

Each deploy deletes the files in the directory. I would like to exclude or protect the file from the deploy deleting the files, any ideas?

Currently I filed an issue: https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up/issues/1022

Not sure if its an issue with mup or my system setup. I use tomitrescak:meteor-uploads and also cfs:file-collection. They both have the same issue.

But from what I see it shall be easy to do, you need to modify the script at https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up/blob/mupx/templates/linux/start.sh#L26

And add a new mapping. You can map multiple volumes such as following: Mounting multiple volumes on a docker container?

So your script would look like (mounting the folder on the host machine /opt/uploads/myapp to the folder /opt/uploads in the container):

docker run \
    -d \
    --restart=always \
    --publish=$PORT:80 \
    --volume=$BUNDLE_PATH:/bundle \
    --volume=/opt/uploads/myapp:/opt/uploads/ \      .... this is the new line
    --env-file=$ENV_FILE \
    --link=mongodb:mongodb \
    --hostname="$HOSTNAME-$APPNAME" \
    --env=MONGO_URL=mongodb://mongodb:27017/$APPNAME \
    --name=$APPNAME \
    meteorhacks/meteord:base

This can be found in "start.sh" in MUP until this issue is resolved and you can mount volumes via the options.
