Storage System#

Basics#

To store files like the garden images, logs or plant pointclouds we use the storage folder. Images is a common folder, which allows to store files that are not accessible through an url. The logs folder uses the django logging system. It is configured to contain two logs. debug.log, which shows all logs but can get kind of messy. For a cleaner logging experience we added the second log info.log, which shows everything except the logs defined as debug. As a third option for storage we added the media folder. everything inside this folder can be accessed through an url. For this we implemented the django storage system. There is currently no system implemented to restrict the access to the data inside of the media folder.

Folder Structure#

Files inside the media folder can be accessed by http://localhost:8000/media/. An example GET request to the pointcloud of plant1 would look like this http://localhost:8000/media/pointclouds/ply/05717c979b0d4bd790d31ce218cd58ee/06694a57e7cf4ee1acce970ab9d9d67a.ply.
