I notice that you do not have a cache drive.  Check all of your path mappings in the various docker containers, and ensure that none of them reference /mnt/cache/...

 

I noticed yesterday that pretty much all of @binhex's apps have references for the /data mapping directly referencing /mnt/cache instead of /mnt/user which when installing if the user doesn't notice causes havoc on the system.

 

 

i see what you are saying, obviously /mnt/user is the only path i can consistently target in this case, so the user will need to do more work to either switch to /mnt/cache/appdata/etc or /mnt/user/cache/appdata or if no cache then /mnt/user/<some share on the array>/, this is the deal right? @Squid if so can do a quick mass edit on the templates to target /mnt/user for /data

In a nutshell, yes.  Any mapping for /config doesn't matter as its overwritten anyways by the user's Docker Settings.  But the /data isn't and will cause issues if it doesn't get noticed

no probs i will get on it, i think the reason it was set like that was due to my nasty experiences with /mnt/user and docker causing instability, but that generally only occurs for configuration files (as in /config) and only affects certain applications.

[scubieman]

So move everything from /mnt/cache to /mnt/user/ ?

my nasty experiences with /mnt/user

I would LOVE if someone could ever point out exactly why that happens for some users and not others.  LT can't fix what can't be replicate

All I know is that most have no trouble.  Some do.  Last time someone actually found (6.2?) a flaw / unsupported function with /mnt/user vs /mnt/cache LT fixed it the next release.

Had a look at them, and I have another concern.  (I know I'm a PITA).  You've switched them from /mnt/cache/appdata/data to now be /mnt/user.  So now the unsuspecting / new user without a cache drive isn't going to have their ram filled up, but now they're (and the ones with a cache drive) are going to get a bunch of shares created as the containers run.  Personally, I'd really prefer if you switched it to /mnt/user/appdata/data.

I don't pre configure any apps to use /data so the user would have to manually do that via the web UI for the app, and I would hope select an existing share.

Having said that I like your suggestion and I will make the change.

I guess that it shows that while I recommend your apps, I don't personally use them. 

 

Thanks for putting up with me

tbh i appreciate you double checking what im doing is sane, it sometimes takes an extra pair of eyes to see the madness :-), and lets not forget the @dockerPolice, love that guy, even if he does whoop my ass.

Squid, would you be able to help with why my VPN worked? I added the 3 VPN files to the openvpn folder.
