Can someone tell me if this will work or not, trying to create a persistant docker from a docker that does not use appdata, why I dont know. But I tried mapping the folder that needs to be persistant to an appdata folder, but then the docker does not populate it with files, I tried adding files on my own which worked for a day, but now does not.

 

The developer is saying I should run this command,

docker volume create llc-unraid

and using that for the persistant storage but that does not seem correct either.

 

Any help is appreciated

I have made this work, but I use docker-compose, so my process may be different.

This could be a permissions issue.  Make sure to check your logs for permission errors.
You can try chmod 777 the folder and see if it works then.  Do this for testing only and change it back when done.   If it works with 777, you know it's probably permissions.

I'd then look at the UID & GID settings, make sure they match what your docker is using.  Uraid likes UID 99 and GID 100.  This means User "nobody" and Group "nogroup".  If your docker is using something else, it likely won't have permissions to write/read to that folder you made, especially if the user for that is root.
