an existing user `someuser` that is used to run this service. The url
`http://localhost:7880/api/v1/open/upload/...` is an anonymous upload
url as described [here](../uploading#anonymous-upload).
## Docker
The provided docker image runs this script to watch a directory for
new files. If a new file is detected, it is pushed to docspell.
For this to work, the container must know about a valid upload url.
Therefore, you must first signup and create such an upload url, as
described [here](doc/uploading#anonymous-upload). Get only the id
(something like `AvR6sA8GKFm-hgYDgZfwzXa-Tqnu8yqyz6X-KzuefvEvrRf`) and
define an environment variable `SOURCE_ID` with that value before
running `docker-compose up` a second time.
```
export SOURCE_ID="AvR6sA8GKFm-hgYDgZfwzXa-Tqnu8yqyz6X-KzuefvEvrRf"
docker-compose up
```
Now you can create a folder `./docs` and place all files in there that
you want to import. Once dropped in this folder the `consumedir`
container will push it to docspell.

The directory contains a file `docspell.conf` that you can
[modify](doc/configure) as needed.
### Watching files in a directory
This setup starts a container running the
[`consumedir.sh`](doc/tools/consumedir) script. It is configured to
watch one directory and upload files arriving in there to docspell.
Please see the [`consumedir.sh`](doc/tools/consumedir#docker) docs for
additional steps.
