Watchtower reset - bongo - 2024-06-25

Morning all, 
New to JF and loving it but I have an issue. 

I use Watch Tower to manage my updates in docker. 
How ever, every time it updates JF it completely resets my 'server' . 

Apart from manual updates is there aware to ensure my configuration remains in place 
upon an update? 
this is all running on a 'synology' based device. 

Thank you

Are you providing a host volume to mount /config? If not, all of your user data is in a temporary VFS instead of a permanent host volume.


RE: Watchtower reset - bongo - 2024-06-25

I will say yes (?), based on the youtube setup I followed.

My Volume settings are:
/docker/Configs/jellyfin /Config (Read/Write)
/docker/Configs/jellyfin /cache (Read/Write)
/Media /Media (Read/Write)

Is Watch Tower clearing it out or something? Docker shouldn't be clearing it out on its own.

It has to be something with watch tower.... and its only with JF.
Everytime an update happens its basically fresh install

Did you map “/Config” or “/config”?

Case matters
