Unable to mount /etc/apcupsd/ as a volume

[AndreaPro]

Hello, I wanted to mount /etc/apcupsd as a volume.
This is the docker-compose that I am using:

services:
  apcupsd:
    container_name: apcupsd
    devices:
    - /dev/bus/usb/001/006
    environment:
      TZ: Europe/Rome
    image: gregewing/apcupsd:latest
    ports:
    - published: 3551
      target: 3551
    privileged: true
    volumes:
    - /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket:/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket:rw
    - /apps/apcupsd/config:/etc/apcupsd:rw
version: '3.3'

This is the error that I see if I run docker-compose logs -f

Attaching to apcupsd
apcupsd    | 0.005 apcupsd: drivers.c:182 Warning: no UPS driver found (ups->mode.type=0).
apcupsd    | apcupsd FATAL ERROR in apcupsd.c at line 196
apcupsd    | Apcupsd cannot continue without a valid driver.
apcupsd exited with code 1

If I remove - /apps/apcupsd/config:/etc/apcupsd:rw from the compose file I have a working container without errors but I have to reconfigure it every time and is not very pratical to use it in this way

Hi, thanks for trying out my container.

Removing the ‘confit’ volume will mean that you don’t get persistent configuration. What I’d recommend here is to run it once without the volume, configure it and then copy the resultant config file out from the running container. Then put that config file in the folder on the host and re-add the volume list e to your compose. This should mean that you get your customised config file each time the container starts.

Yes, I know that without mounting the volume the configuration won't survive a container recreation, I've created the issue because on other containers I am able to mount the directory on the host from the first start and I am able to manage all the configurations from there without getting errors. I will try your suggestion and let you know.
Nice work with this container btw, I was exactly looking at something like this
