Which Docker container has saved drafts, projects?

Hello. I’m looking to script exporting Penpot drafts from the Docker container they live in. Here are the running containers:

~ $ sudo docker ps | awk 'NR > 1 { print $NF }'
penpot-penpot-frontend-1
penpot-penpot-backend-1
penpot-penpot-exporter-1
penpot-penpot-redis-1
penpot-penpot-postgres-1
penpot-penpot-mailcatch-1

I hopped onto frontend, backend, and exporter, but I’m unsure where to find the .penpot draft files. Which Docker container has the draft files and under which directory?

Thanks in advance :grin:

Hello. Penpot files are not stored as operating system files. They reside in the database (inside penpot-postgres container) as rows of a table. And the .penpot or .zip files are generated on the fly when a user exports them.

What is your use case? Perhaps you can simply connect to the database and extract rows from it.

This would be my solution then! Are you familiar with Postgres login credentials?

E: I have tried signing into Postgres with default user (postgres) but I’m unable to.

You can check Penpot configuration by looking at the docker compose file: penpot/docker-compose.yaml at main · penpot/penpot · GitHub

The default database credentials are user penpot and password penpot.

We haven’t a database model document yet, but can look at the general data model document here:
