Fix docker volume persistent for directory of custom org images

[garrit-schroeder]

I have adjusted the pull request and created a new one.

Hi,
Why you copy the orgs.dist images in the dockerfile build process and in the entrypoint is that not the double work?
If the orgs images are only coming from misp and should not be user changeable than it makes it no sense to add a local file path to it.
If it is user customized than it makes no sense to delete all the user changes in your rsync command or?

what should it be?

Kind regards

The docker file will copy the files to a orgs.dist directory to keep a distribution level copy of the images. The entrypoint (should) then syncs this distribution copy to make sure it's in sync with the real directory. This is because users of MISP has the ability to upload Org images when creating Orgs in MISP.

I think the --delete here will delete any org images uploaded by the user - can you verify that?

[garrit-schroeder]

I verified and of course the --delte flag was wrong. Fixed it.

But for that I understand is the second “custom” path there?

[garrit-schroeder]

We are talking about the manage file tab in Server settings.

The Top upload directory contains default images of misp but the user has also the possibility to upload images there. That's why we need this workaround of syncing the default files. A docker volume will otherwise overwrite this directory.

The second location of custom images is empty by default so we can just use a normal docker volume. No workaround required.

@garrit-schroeder ,
Thanks for clarification. That was not clear enough for me.

So if I read this correctly, during image build you stash a copy of the distributed images; and at container start you ensure that all the distributed images are present in the mounted volume. If that's right, then +1 from me 👍

My only substantive comment: please add instructions to the README about making a volume with local org images, and mention the distributed images are put there automagically.

I see this has PR been open a few months, is something blocking merge here?

[garrit-schroeder]

You are a 100% correct.

There is nothing blocking this PR as far as I can tell. Just some additional notes in the README file maybe.
