I have created an app in Django (which runs in a Docker Container) that takes several inputs from a form. Based on the inputs a python scripts runs that creates a PDF file in a certain folder.
It works fine when I save the PDF in a folder within the app ('static/createdpdf'). However, I would like to be able to save to a directory on my local machine.
When I try this I get an Exception File Not Found.
I tried to add a function that saves it in my app first and then moves it to my local machine folder, but that doesn't work either.
Any suggestions?
import shutil
import os
def movefiles():
filename = 'Testinvoice.PDF'
src_path = 'static/images/'
dst_path = '/Users/jeandelisseen/Desktop/Testfolder/')
filestring_src = os.path.join(src_path, filename)
filestring_dst = os.path.join(dst_path, filename)
shutil.move(filestring_src, filestring_dst)
My Docker File and Docker-Compose files are still pretty basic:
# Pull base image
FROM python:3.10
# Set environment variables
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
# Set work directory
WORKDIR /code
# Install dependencies

RUN pip install pipenv && pipenv install --system
# Copy project
COPY . /code/
