What were you trying to do?
Run red through an archlinux container on windows 10 host using JSON as a backend using existing data from a previous installation
What were you expecting to happen?
It to work
What actually happened?
It crashed and burned with a cryptic error
How can we reproduce this issue?
Run the bot under archlinux/base on a windows host using a volume connected to Windows FS as the bot data path
Additional info
So after talking with @mikeshardmind i tried using a second docker-specific volume as the bot data path to work around Windows being Windows.
Basically the install process looked like this then:
docker volume create
the actual volume i'll be usingdocker run
connecting both newely created volume and a path to a host machine (i used-v <localPath>:<containerPath>
to mount)Hope this info helps, sharing since Sinbad asked me to, would love to see some warning about windows issues in the docs or instead of that crashlog
