bizmodeller

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 11:29 pm**

I use My Media for Alexa in docker (https://www.mymediaalexa.com/home/docker) using bizmodeller/mymediaforalexa:latest.

Unfortunately, every time I pull an updated image, my Preferences.xml is overwritten and lost. (I automatically pull new images using centurylink/watchtower)

I am certain that I have mapped a directory MyMediaForAlexa to /datadir in docker. Unfortunately, it seems new images do not respect that the server is already set up and it just overwrites the existing data.

Here is my exact docker runtime information. I would appreciate any help!

Sorry missed this one (and realize it's over a year), however, for other users who come across it:

We provide a volume mapping for /datadir which is used to store both preferences, watch folder metadata and the library database. This should be mapped to a volume outside the container if you are using Docker. So in your config:

"Volumes": {
"/datadir": {},
"/medialibrary": {}
},

is the problem - map /datadir to a real directory and everything will be persisted across image updates.
