Application does not use S3 storage defined through compose environment

[Stefan Exner]

Hey 👋

I've set up monica with an external database server and an S3 bucket (hosted by wasabi) through the following compose file:

version: "3.7"

services:
  app:
    image: monica:3.7.0-apache
    ports:
      - "9876:80"
    environment:
      - APP_DEBUG=true
      - APP_ENV=production
      - APP_KEY=REDACTED
      - APP_URL=REDACTED

      - DB_HOST=REDACTED
      - DB_USERNAME=REDACTED
      - DB_PASSWORD=REDACTED

      - MAIL_MAILER=smtp
      - MAIL_HOST=REDACTED
      - MAIL_PORT=REDACTED
      - MAIL_USERNAME=REDACTED
      - MAIL_PASSWORD=REDACTED
      - MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=REDACTED
      - MAIL_FROM_NAME=Monica

      - FILESYSTEM_DISK=s3

      - AWS_KEY=REDACTED
      - AWS_SECRET=REDACTED
      - AWS_REGION=eu-central-2
      - AWS_BUCKET=REDACTED
      - AWS_SERVER=s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com
      - S3_PATH_STYLE=true

      - ENABLE_GEOLOCATION=true
      - LOCATION_IQ_API_KEY=REDACTED
    volumes:
      - ./data:/var/www/html/storage
    restart: unless-stopped

The database is picked up fine, but monica is still using the local storage. Neither the server nor the laravel log file contains any error messages.

I think I followed the documentation pretty closely, is there something I'm missing or is this an actual bug?

Thanks in advance!

You've set FILESYSTEM_DISK=s3
FILESYSTEM_DISK is the name of the variable starting version 4.0.0. The previous variable name was DEFAULT_FILESYSTEM. See monicahq/monica#6098

So if you use the new 4.0.0 version, it should work now - or you can rename your variable.
