Ombi with a mounted config directory

LSIO Discussion Container Support
1

Hi

I tried to move my Ombi container from one machine to another today. To simplify the setups, I started to keep all configuration files of my containers in a single place. So I shutdown my container first, moved the files from the local directory to the network drive and then mounted the directory as a NFS mount. The files on the network directory are owned by the UID 1026 and has a GID of 100.

I then tried to start the container again with the following command:

docker run -d \
  --name=Ombi \
  -e PUID=1026 \
  -e PGID=100 \
  -e TZ=Asia/Hong_Kong \
  -e BASE_URL=/ombi \
  -p 3579:3579 \
  -v /mnt/settings/docker/ombi:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/ombi:latest

However, after starting the container I can’t access it. And the log files show an issue with changing ownership and it seems it fails because of this.

s6-rc: warning: unable to start service init-ombi: command exited 1

Is there any way I can get that to work?

yes, but not that we will help with. We do not offer support to users with fixing host, network, or remote mount issues.
I will say that databases do not typically work well on file-based remote mounts so we specifically recommend against using those types of mounts for our /config path, generally speaking.
You likely need to look into mounting your share as the user/group you need, specifically.
