Description

This allows DOCS_DIR to be mounted from a different path, outside of DATA_DIR, or falls back to the previous behaviour if DOCS_DIR is not in the environment.

A simple use case: the WebUI data is in a volume, but all docs are in a shared network volume, used by both Ollama and a file navigator to upload documents.

Alternatives explored:

link the data folder to a shared mount: network mounts won't follow links
hard links: not possible for a directory
link a shared mount into /data/docs: Path.mkdir fails if called on a path to a symlink, even if exists_ok=True.
Subfolders inside /data/docs are ignored

Changelog Entry

Added

New environment variable DOCS_DIR to specify the full path for RAG documents.
