Обсуждение: User profile location redirect

All,

     I am curious if there is a way to redirect user data from being stored in 'AppData' to being stored in a different file share (i.e D:\Home\"username"\pgAdmin\

I'm using Windows Server 2019 for pgAdmin 4.

I'm looking to do this to resolve users losing data when servers are rebuilt during AWS AMI's updates.

Thanks in advance,

Where is this section does it need to be placed?  We have tried several different iterations.

# Data directory for storage of config settings etc. This shouldn't normally

# need to be changed - it's here as various other settings depend on it.

# On Windows, we always store data in %APPDATA%\pgAdmin. On other platforms,

# if we're in server mode we use /var/lib/pgadmin, otherwise ~/.pgadmin

if IS_WIN:

    # Use the short path on windows

    DATA_DIR = os.path.realpath(

        os.path.join(fs_short_path(env('APPDATA')), u"pgAdmin")

    )

else:

    if SERVER_MODE:

        DATA_DIR = '/var/lib/pgadmin'

    else:

        DATA_DIR = os.path.realpath(os.path.expanduser(u'~/.pgadmin/'))

Hi Andrew,

Yes you can. Please refer - https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/4.24/server_deployment.html#configuration. Make sure you escape the backslashes when setting the paths (eg - D:\\Home)
