MinimServer 2 in Docker - best approach for persistent config?

[simoncn]

If you follow the recommended procedure (no shared data folder), stopping and restarting the container should not cause the contents of /opt/minimserver/data to be lost. If you destroy the container and recreate it, this would cause the settings in /opt/minimserver/data to be lost.

I think your solution would work for preserving the MinimServer settings when the container is destroyed and recreated. This is not a supported and tested configuration and I cannot guarantee that it will work correctly in all cases.

You might find that a full license activation created with the original container no longer works if you destroy and recreate the container. Have you tried this?

You are likely to have problems if the data directory is used by more than one container at the same time. If you don't do this, the presence of log and pid files should not be a problem.

Please use the contact form on this page to request a license reset. Please provide your license code in the Message field.

Edit: Please see this thread for discussion of a problem that might possibly be related to sharing the data folder.
