How can I confirm if I have things stored outside the image properly? For some reason, my SWAG docker container wasn't listed in the user templates, even though everything else was. As a result, all my reverse proxy stuff is broken even though it seems my actual containers are working. I wonder if it's all related to the missing custom network.

I made the mistake of following these instructions thinking it would restore my containers after they somehow disappeared. Sure, they are back, but if you are reading this thinking these instructions will put things back to where they were, I think you might be dissapointed. Custom variables, specific settings in the container, custom networks etc. It all seems to be back to defaults forcing me to have to remember how I had previously setup my reverse proxy, SWAG settings etc. Sigh....

Makes sense, so is it fair to assume that "prefer cache" is 100% unprotected? Is there any way to "prefer" the cache, but still have protection?

That's the part I don't understand. I didn't reformat anything. I think what may have happened, is the drive ran into some sort of error immediately after the power loss. Then as I was trying to figure out what was wrong, the docker images recreated new configs in appdata since the old ones were missing. I guess the part I don't understand is why parity didn't protect me in this case? Is there a scenario where "prefer cache" will enable unprotected files?

Yes, I removed the cache drive because I was afraid of making things worse. Now I've disabled docker, re-added the cache drive but my HomeAssistant appdata folder does not appear to be on my cache drive anymore. Since starting docker with the cache removed it looks to have created a blank set of configs on one of my other drives. I've attached my latest diags after re-adding my cache.

I should add one detail. I did remove my cache drive from the pool thinking I might be able to manually access the data. I'm not sure if it's safe to add it back or if I should leave it disconnected for now.

I'm not entirely sure what happened. I think I had my appdata setup to prefer cache, and after a power failure when things came back online I noticed my containers weren't working. Upon closer inspection, appdata data was all gone. I didn't notice right away however so as I was working to start my HomeAssistant docker container etc, it started filling out their folders with the base/default configs etc and now I'm in a situation where everything appears to be healthy, but I still don't have my old configs. Is there any hope of finding/recovering this data at this point? I've attached my diagnostics file, but I'm really just not sure where to start at this point.

Hi, I'm just trying to follow your instructions but I'm a bit confused. Did you abandon the Azure container registry? Or are your instructions above using that?
