How to follow along with the walk-through when running as a docker container?

[STRAYKR]

So I have a docker compose stack running, but I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to running commands in docker containers.

I've figured out enough to get into the container docker exec -it bf7722fe7dcd sh but when I run ytdl-sub --dry-run --config config.yaml sub subscriptions.yaml it errors, presumably because my config.yaml is in the Linux home dir, not inside docker?

docker exec -it bf7722fe7dcd sh
root@bf7722fe7dcd:/# ytdl-sub --dry-run --config config.yaml sub subscriptions.yaml
[ytdl-sub] The file 'config.yaml' does not exist.

Not sure where to go from here?

docker compose section:

  ytdl-sub:
    image: ghcr.io/jmbannon/ytdl-sub:latest
    container_name: ytdl-sub
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:universal-cron
    volumes:
      # ensure directories have user permissions
      - ./docker/ytdl-sub:/config
      - ./data/media/tv:/tv_shows  # optional
      - ./data/media/movies:/movies  # optional
      # - <path/to/music_videos>:/music_videos  # optional
      # - <path/to/music>:/music  # optional
    restart: always

You are correct, you need to cd config/

Also add '-u abc' to the docker command so you don't run as root

Thanks Jesse, I'll try that tomorrow.

Perfect, that's another Docker concept I understand now. Thanks again.
