How to add files to translate in a new project ?

[NotSqrt]

Hi !

Your recipe helped me a lot, after some fixes to use Pootle<2.8 instead of the latest release candidate.

I just can't figure out how to easily add new project folders in the POOTLE_TRANSLATION_DIRECTORY.
Add a new volume with - ./translations/my-project:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pootle/translations/my-project ?
But I don't know how to set up properly the permissions .. The folder will be mounted with my UID, while pootle runs as root ..

Thanks !

Hi! To properly set the permissions we need to change the Dockerfile to run Pootle with it's own user.

@NotSqrt I updated Dockerfile to not use root for running Pootle wsgi app. There's translations directory in the root of the repo mounted as a volume which you can use to hold your projects. Please let me know if my update worked for you. Thanks!

I've encountered permissions problems on /var/www/pootle/assets at the collectstatic step.

    mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/pootle/assets/js'

I managed to fix this with docker-compose run --user 0 pootle chown -R pootle:pootle /var/www/pootle

And finally, I changed in pootle.conf POOTLE_TRANSLATION_DIRECTORY = '/home/pootle/translations' and I'm good to go !

@NotSqrt The permissions problems you had, was it on new installation or you had assets and media volumes already created?

[NotSqrt]

Both !

When the Dockerfile runs, I think the volumes under /var/www/poottle are not mounted, so the chown does not change anything.
