I switched out of digital ocean because their docker apps don’t allow persistent access to the disk and don’t allow you to add any disk.

This eliminated a whole bunch of apps. I real head scratcher.

Render.com works a lot better for me. The disk is symlinked in automatically to ‘/var/data’ and I can add it in with an environmental variable set in the dashboard.

I have no idea why digital ocean cripples its app offerings like this. If anyone works there see this please add disks to docker apps.
