I am using s3 for app storage but is it possible to keep the build function stuff to local storage?

_APP_STORAGE_DEVICE=s3 puts everything to the s3 storage but i need to be able to keep the function builds and site in the local and not waste the cloud storage for it

If I set this OPR_EXECUTOR_STORAGE_DEVICE=local does it work?

we recommend not using OPR_* env now and kind of deprecated them from executor depending on which version of executor is being used

any reason why you want builds to be local only?

If i deploy functions multiple times wont it add up space on the cloud?

I intended cloud to be only for the user uploads

to appwrite storage buckets

you can use deploymentRetention

uh wait no available on self hosted yet

so ig a manual cron job to delete the older builds?

generally its better practice to use s3 for builds etc. local storage was just in case you didnt have s3 set

it is, i'm using it (1.9.0) 🙂
for some reason it's not visible in the UI but configurable with the config.json of the function

Do u know how to do it

How do i do it

my appwrite.json / appwrite.config.json (iirc the second name is the newest)

{
    "projectId": "XXX",
    "functions": [
        {
            "$id": "YYY",
            "name": "Template",
            "runtime": "node-22",
            "buildSpecification": "s-1vcpu-512mb",
            "runtimeSpecification": "s-0.5vcpu-512mb",
            "deploymentRetention": 7,
            "execute": [],
            "events": [],
            "scopes": [
                "databases.read"
            ],
            "schedule": "",
            "timeout": 15,
            "enabled": true,
            "logging": true,
            "entrypoint": "lib/main.js",
            "commands": "npm ci --omit=dev",
            "path": ".",
            "ignore": [
                "node_modules",
                ".git",
                ".gitignore",
                "tsconfig.json",
                "tsconfig.build.json",
                "README.md",
                ".gitlab-ci.yml",
                ".gitlab",
                "src"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

it's "deploymentRetention": 7, to keep them for 7 days before removing the deployment

then you just push the function from the CLI and it will ask to push the properties as well

also if you run from a CI i would recommend using the --activate true to activate the deployment

Okyyy

Thanks
