May 26, 20224 yr Hi beautiful community, I'm trying to deploy a couple projects on unraid with docker but having a hard time figure out how to persist my apps content to the appdata folder. When & How do you copy the config, db, files/folder to the appdata folder? My understanding is that i need an entrypoint script to copy the files onto the container at startup. Can this be accomplished with an already built image from dockerhub? or do i need to create my own Dockerfile? How do my source files find their way to the bound appdata folder? When i bind my working directory in the unraid UI, I end up with no files at all on the docker container like other users have experienced. I've been trying to accomplish this for a while with no success, ive found a few threads with people asking about the same thing but no clear answer on how to get it done. I'm looking into deploying a shinobi container and an express app to build and deploy websites. Having persisting data go to my array instead of the unraid docker FS would be peachy. I can get everything to work but on container restart loosing everything that was done, i understand that this is what is supposed to happen. Basically how do you create a docker image like the ones available on the community apps page where they copy the persisting data to the bound appdata folder? Does anyone have any more information on how to accomplish that? A good thread, youtube video? Spaceinvader hint hint... ❤️
