Docker. Best way to save config?

Help and Support
1

I'm successfully connecting to the web server in the rclone docker container. I'd like to keep the config file outside of the container. I'd also like to set a login and password for the web server, so that I don't have to paste the password from the log file each time.

Here's the relevant section of my YML file.

  rclone_rclone:
    image: rclone/rclone
    container_name: rclone_rclone
    restart: always
    command: rcd --rc-web-gui --rc-addr :5572
    ports:
      - "5572:5572"
    volumes:
      - /home/jsmith/synology:/synology
      - ~/.config/rclone:/config/rclone
      - ~/data:/data:shared
    environment:
      - PHP_TZ=Europe/London
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000

I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the volumes, but I can't figure it out. I suspect the answer lies in the Installation for Docker section.

I have very limite docker/YML experience, but I can at least tell you that the user/pass for the webserver can be easily set via the following switches:

--rc-user test
--rc-pass test

Ah thank you. That worked.

And I've reassigned the config folder with this in the YML.

volumes:
  - /home/jsmith/docker/rclone_rclone:/config/rclone

That looks correct for saving the config - it matches the recommendation in the install doc

You might consider grabbing the log file as well. You don't need them -- until you do. :slight_smile:

  • './logs/:/logs/'

Thank you. I wrote a How To in case it's useful for anyone.
