Grocy only works if not using "volume"

[prankousky]

Hi everybody,

below is my docker-compose.yaml I use for grocy. This version works… however, previously I had tried to mount the /config folder, which would always result in the service starting, but when I opened the URL I’d get some error I can currently not reproduce, but it looked like something was wrong with the web server, as there was no grocy login page or anything like that, just a plain error page.

I’d like to have all relevant data in a volume so that I don’t have to start over if I need to re-install/move to another machine/etc.; is there something I need to consider when mounting a volume?

I thought of using docker cp grocy:/config <dir>/config via cron, but if there is a way to just mount that volume, I’d prefer that.

Or is there another path other than /config that I’d need to save?

I just checked to make sure I hard the correct PUID/PGID - and I do.

Thank you in advance for your ideas

sounds like there is an issue with the folder you’re trying to mount. First of all, you really should use an absolute path for the path rather than a relative one, and make sure that it is dedicated to this container and not shared with any others

Thank you!

This worked:

• copy /config from existing grocy
• recreate docker-compose.yaml (using a different folder, but still using the relative path, just to see whether that was what caused the issue, but it still worked)
• deleting grocy container
• recreating it via docker-compose up -d

Awesome
