Saving config file between docker installs

[ColoradoMark]

I am stuck with the instructions for the docker setup on my Truenas Scale server. I am trying to keep the config and database files persistent between docker installs. The sample docker file has comments in it about how to do that, but I must be confused. It seems to say to do it in the config file itself. Does anyone have a docker compose file that works and keeps those files persistent? Here is what the sample says: # optional if you want db to persist - configure a path under "database" dir in config file.

I just recently updated the getting started page to direct you to create folder and mount that.

Can you take another look and let me know if that helps?

I have modified my compose file earlier when I noticed the change but have my db I
- './data:/home/filebrowser/data' # mount the data folder you created with the config file. as I didn't want the db in the mounted folder that I would see within filebrowser as I have several mounted drives

Re: bearded-papa
Is your working? If so are you running Truenas? I noticed the change too, but just tried it again and the container stops immediately after I create it. The error is it is trying to create what I replaced /path/to/folder with and the file system is read only. I think this has something to do with the way TrueNas handles containers.

I got it running on Truenas! Here is are the config and docker-compose files. . On Truenas you enter the docker-compose YAML under custom apps.

Thank you!

On a similar note, @gtsteffaniak is there any plan to provide directly a TrueNas app?
The current app “FileBrowser” links to the old project:

https://apps.truenas.com/catalog/filebrowser/

Apart from automating the installation, it provides also a UI to configure things

This would be very nice to add if possible. Would make it easy as well to deploy.
