Dear Julio,

Is "cloud storage" a requirement? By default DSpace stores its files on the disk where the server runs (for example /dspace/assetstore). It's much more simple in my opinion anyways.

Hi,

Thank Alan, to take the moment to answer 🙌

It's not a mandatory requirement, it's a own project, can change. But the way i would like to do it is separeted the storage from the app, i think is more secure for the data and i'm thinking to run the container directly using Azure container instances. I was testing with some Dspace image and when you restart the container the app reset, it's running in a sandbox and that worry me. Maybe i'm making wrong.

By the way, i am open to suggestions   :D

Thanks,

Regards,

PD: Sorry by my bad english

Dear Julio,

I have been running a large DSpace instance since 2010 and my advice would be to avoid deploying DSpace in a container. I avoid containers in general, but more specifically: the DSpace 6.x software is basically technology from the early 2000s and is not well suited for container deployment. The newer as-of-yet-unreleased version (7.0) seems to be designed with containers in mind because it uses some newer components. Even so, it is very common for database administrators to recommend against deploying relational databases in containers.

Others on this mailing list might be more willing to help you with the container thing, but not me!
