Configuring Local Persistence?

Hello :wave:! What’s the general approach to persistence?

Specifically if I want to run a local database like mongodb is that a possibility such that it won’t be blown away the next day when the workspace is refreshed?

And similarly, what if I want to save things directly to disk like a user uploaded video or profile picture? Is this a possibility or is this a limitation with an idx environment?

Thanks!

You have a VM with a local home directory that stays with your account. We haven’t heard of any cases where your local data was not persisted when you come back the next day. I will caveat this by saying that you probably want to ensure mission critical files and so are committed to a Git repo or some other backup source :slight_smile:
