Review Board diff file storage

[Justin L]

I am running Review Board version 3.0.14 through the ikatson docker image, and I was wondering where my uploaded diff files are being stored? My file storage setting is set to "Host file system" right now, but I am not sure where they are on my file system.

I know that uploaded files (attached media, other files) are in this path (./var/www/reviewboard/htdocs/media/uploaded/files) on my docker container. However, I don't see the diff files that are created when I start a review request.

Justin,

The diffs are stored inside the database, not on the filesystem.

They're not really at a "path". The diffs are exploded into an entry per file, deduplicated, and then compressed and stored as rows in a table. If you need the diffs as files, the best way to get them is through the API: https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/3.0/webapi/2.0/resources/diff/

David,

Thank you for the reply. Is there any way to find the path or where exactly these diffs may be?

Thanks

They're all going to be in the diffviewer_rawfilediffdata table, but as I said, the contents there really aren't diff files in a way that can be consumed. What are you trying to do?

David,

Thank you for the quick reply, is there any way of finding the path or where exactly they are located in the database?

The docker image pulls from the postgres:alpine docker image, which is running in the same network as my Review Board container.

Thanks

So, in the Review Board admin, for "File Storage Settings", the files that these refer to are only files that are attached to reviews, and not diffs, correct?

[David Trowbridge]

That's correct.

I see, I just wanted to know, then, where these tables are stored, and not necessarily what they look like or what content they have?

I'm not sure what you mean by "where these tables are stored". That's completely up to the database.

I see, thank you so much! (I was able to explore the diffviewer_rawfilediffdata table by linking to a PostgreSQL client) Again, thanks!
