File storage

If you need to download and store files, you can place them in the /tmp directory.

Writing a file to /tmp

For example, to download a file to /tmp using curl

# Download the current weather in Cleveland in PNG format
curl --silent https://wttr.in/Cleveland.png --output /tmp/weather.png

# Output the contents of /tmp to confirm the file is there
ls /tmp

/tmp limitations

The /tmp directory can store up to 2GB of storage. Also the storage may be wiped or may not exist between workflow executions.

To avoid errors, assume that the /tmp directory is empty between workflow runs. Please refer to the disk limits for details.
