Hey guys, so I'm having a bit of an issue here.

Made a discord bot in python, creates file in location where script is, a simple .csv file.

But, here's the issue and I can't quite figure out a fix for it.

 

In summary - my bot creates a file but I've no idea where the flip it's being created  

 

This is the docker info.

 

This is the unraid directory 

 

and 

 

this is what the console for the docker shows me.

but the problem is... erhm, well yas you can see. I can't see the file anywhere in the explorer... 
I need to be able to backup the file and sometimes manually edit it also need access for it so i can open it with excel. 

 

What am I doing wrong? and how can I resolve this issue?

Thanks!

I don't use that but your appdata is mapped to app in the container, which is a folder you can see in your screenshot, but you haven't created the file in that folder. Only mapped folders can be accessed outside a container 

File should be auto-created by a python script.

File creation code

 

try:
  with open('users.csv', 'r') as csvfile:
    pass
except FileNotFoundError:
  with open('users.csv', 'w', newline='') as csvfile:
    writer = csv.writer(csvfile)

 

Nothing in that code to make me think file will be created in the app folder.

You're right! 

I resolved the issue at last. 
The issue was with how I had the shell script set up and how it was calling my script
