Complete NOOB, need help finalizing setup

[peak meadow]

Please go slow, i'm old and frail.. First time using Docker. I have followed instructions and got overseerr running, but I have this /app/config error, message. I saw the note in the installation guide about it, but don't know what to do about it. @radiant coyote

I assume something about this? No idea what to do. 🙂

[peak meadow]

Other than that the entire system is up and running smoothly! happy about that anyway

How did you set it up? Could be interesting to look at the volume part in your compose config

[peak meadow]

No one has any idea how to fix this?

[jolly flower]

How did you create this container?

Not familiar with the view you are using

[peak meadow]

docker desktop

[jolly flower]

Never used so unless you want to provide more details im out

You dont use a compose yml for that?

[peak meadow]

no

[jolly flower]

Only suggestion i have considering the details added is that you are on windows using linux paths

And that will only save details inside the container, not locally thus not saving anything, really.

[peak meadow]

not a strong tech expert, so added the desktop version of docker since I can actually understand the web GUI, but all i did was create a volume, downloaded the container and ran it. was pretty straightforward to get running not much code to change

[jolly flower]

Windows or linux

[peak meadow]

Windows PC, no VM. Everything is running, but i haven't shut down the instance because i'm worried about losing all my config info as the error stated.

[jolly flower]

So your pathing on volumes is wrong

[peak meadow]

\wsl.localhost\docker-desktop-data\data\docker\volumes

this is where they live

[jolly flower]

You want config saved locally outside of container

[peak meadow]

apperently the other files live here? lol. i don't know what i'm doing.. the info come from this post about locations: https://www.josephguadagno.net/2024/07/13/docker-volume-location-on-windows

[jolly flower]

/var/lib/docker/volumes hardly sounds like a windows path to me

But never used docker on windows myself

[peak meadow]

Thanks for trying. maybe the Dev can jump in and do a test instance

Its too bad because I have everything working, Overseerr, cloudflare tunnel to access externally, but just worried about losing everything if it restarts! lol. maybe I have to re-start and see what happens.. and pray..
