Overview:

The Falcon Player (FPP) is a lightweight, optimized, feature-rich sequence player designed to run on low-cost Single Board Computers (SBC). It was originally created to run on the $35 Raspberry Pi, hence the middle 'P' in the short name but now the FPP supports many more systems. It is still mostly commonly used on a Raspberry Pi (Zero, 2, 3, 4) or a Beagle Bone (Black, Green, Pocket). The FPP shorthand is still used but it is now just called Falcon Player.

 

FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DDP, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors. Using various capes, FPP can also be a controller on P5 and P10 Matrixes, or strings of ws2811 pixels.

Been trying to use this but the config path eg /home/fpp does not seem to be getting written to appdata as its meant to meaning each time the docker is updated etc the configs are getting nuked, anyone else? any ideas?

Try changing the host part of the path to /mnt/user/appdata/fpp, removing the "config" part

 

 

IIRC Docker will make the folder if not present but only one level deep, i.e. if you don't have a "config" folder in your appdata this would fail, and it wouldn't be usual to have one.
