Cloud not start with Volume Mapping

[mac-linux-free]

Hello,

I could not start the container with volume mapping. If I leave out "-v /var/piler-data...." it is working.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

@mac-linux-free can you please post the full docker command

[mac-linux-free]

docker run -d --name piler -p 25:25 -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /root/piler-data:/var/piler -e PILER_HOST=archive.tld.de woa7/piler

[mac-linux-free]

if I start the container without the volume mapping and stop it and rsync the /var/lib/docker/volumes/... to /root/piler-data the volume mapping is working

[woa7]

its sounds like a ID problem.
can you please start it with the right IDs?
like with
-e PUID=$(id -u) -e PGID=$(id -g)

more info is also in the readme https://github.com/woa7/docker-piler/blob/master/README.md

On a Synology I have a similar issue. Though started with:

sudo docker create \ --name=piler \ -e PUID=$(id -u) \ -e PGID=$(id -g) \

I see the following:

Suggestions? : )

[q20]

I managed to resolve this by using Portainer to create NFS volumes for the piler container. Like this:

This allowed for easy RW access to the correct directory.

One important discovery I made after this success: when recreating/updating the container, all config info is lost, along with the mySQL database.
I therefore created in total 3x volumes for this container:

This has allowed the database and configuration to be preserved across updates.
