No default `/tmp` volume/directory in docker container

[LinusCDE]

By default, /tmp is used for tmpfiles. This directory is not created by default and might break some existing deployments, since this requirement seems new.

In addition to this issue, changing the directory as a workaround doesn't do the trick anymore :

# docker run -d --restart always --publish 8080:8080 -v "/home/transfer:/transfer" dutchcoders/transfer.sh:latest --provider local --basedir=/transfer

[transfer.sh]2022/02/03 18:00:19 Transfer.sh server started.
using temp folder: /tmp/

--temp-path is the param for the temp folder

The easiest fix for docker containers likely is to create the directory in the Dockerfile. The other approach is to set the mentioned path to the current working dir. What would you prefer?

--temp-path doesn't seem to change this anyway, seems like the folder should just exist regardless?

[paolafrancesca]

the flag is --temp-path not --tmp-path

[gwigz]

typo

[paolafrancesca]

@gwigz what version are you using?

there's no explicit saving of a multipart preìfix temporary file in the code, I vaguely remember there was once, but I'm not sure

if I set --temp-path to /dir/not/exists this the output:

[transfer.sh]2022/04/20 22:50:29 Transfer.sh server started.
using temp folder: /dir/not/exists/
using storage provider: local
[transfer.sh]2022/04/20 22:50:29 listening on port: :8080
[transfer.sh]2022/04/20 22:50:29 ---------------------------
[transfer.sh]2022/04/20 22:50:38 open /dir/not/exists/transfer-292564794: no such file or directory

but that's rather expected and there is a match between tempo folder and the message on temp file creation
