Persistent Disk

The default filesystem for services running on Render is ephemeral. aimicromind data isn’t persisted across deploys and restarts. To solve this issue, we can use Render Disk.

1. On the left hand side bar, click Disks
2. Name your disk, and specify the Mount Path to /opt/render/.aimicromind

3. Click the Environment section, and add these new environment variables:

• DATABASE_PATH - /opt/render/.aimicromind
• APIKEY_PATH - /opt/render/.aimicromind
• LOG_PATH - /opt/render/.aimicromind/logs
• SECRETKEY_PATH - /opt/render/.aimicromind
• BLOB_STORAGE_PATH - /opt/render/.aimicromind/storage

4. Click Manual Deploy then select Clear build cache & deploy

5. Now try creating a flow and save it in AiMicromind. Then try restarting service or redeploy, you should still be able to see the flow you have saved previously.
