fix: persist Langflow database across container restarts#1167
Conversation
Fixes #1127 - Langflow flow edits no longer lost after restart ## Problem Flow edits made in Langflow UI were being lost after container restart. The langflow service only mounted /app/flows but Langflow stores its SQLite database at /root/.langflow/ by default, which was ephemeral. ## Solution 1. Add persistent volume for Langflow data directory: - Mount ${LANGFLOW_DATA_PATH:-./langflow-data} to /root/.langflow 2. Explicitly set LANGFLOW_DATABASE_URL to ensure database location 3. Document the new LANGFLOW_DATA_PATH in .env.example ## Testing - Verified volume mount configuration - Database URL format: sqlite:////root/.langflow/langflow.db Closes #1127
Issue - #1127 Summary - Fixed Langflow data path and added LANGFLOW_CONFIG_DIR environment variable to ensure flow edits persist across container restarts. Docker Compose Configuration - Updated the Langflow container volume mount target from /root/.langflow to /app/data/.langflow to match the correct working directory for the containerized process - Added LANGFLOW_CONFIG_DIR=/app/data/.langflow environment variable so Langflow uses the correct directory for all configuration artifacts - Updated LANGFLOW_DATABASE_URL to reference the corrected path /app/data/.langflow/langflow.db Makefile - Added langflow-data directory cleanup to the factory-reset target, including a status message in the pre-reset summary and removal logic matching the existing opensearch-data cleanup pattern Builds on #1129
