I am having issues with the config file with the docker, basically is not reading a config file that I made.

My main question is that do you need a specific name for the config file? or you need to update it with a command like "copyparty-sfx.py -c XXX.conf"? but I kind of think that the command is to install the python. So, is there a way to confirm the config file or it can have any name as long as is in the share folder?

Thanks for the help.

You have to place the .conf file in /mnt/user/appdata/copyparty like this


The whole program is extensive and i only dabbled with it a tiny bit

[global]

p: 3923 # listen on ports 8086 and 3939

e2dsa # enable file indexing and filesystem scanning

e2ts # and enable multimedia indexing

z, qr # and zeroconf and qrcode (you can comma-separate arguments)

# create users:

[accounts]

test: 123 # username: password

# create volumes:

[/w] # create a volume at "/" (the webroot), which will

. # share the contents of "." (the current directory)

accs:

r: * # everyone gets read-access, but

rw: test # the user "ed" gets read-write

Thats a very basic config as example

Thanks for the reply, I have a config with more folders but still, it is not starting copyparty at all if I put the config.conf file in that location.

I also tried with a config as basic as that, but to no avail.

I will try to check the internet for more information, and if I find something I will update here. Thanks

EDIT: apparently if you follow the examples of the copyparty page, you get an example for the

# create volumes:

with either . or /

In this case the solution was to put the [/w] as the first volume, then you can add the other folders.

Right now I have another issue, but it is for the unraid server not allowing to access the server, I don't think is the copyparty app. Will update if I found a solution, with also the explanation of the problem.
