uploaded plugins gone if docker container recreated

[theggs]

LRR Version and OS Docker LANraragi v0.9.0

Bug Details Uploaded plugins are store in home/koyomi/lanraragi/lib/LANraragi/Plugin along with the default plugins. This directory is come from the image. As a result, when docker container recreate(e.g. for version upgrading, env vars updating), the directory will be restored, the uploaded plugins would gone. I have to upload the plugins, and configurate them again.

Expected: user uploaded plugins are put in an independent directory, so we can mount a local path to it.

I feel like this is a non-issue.

You should be able to make a volume map between the plugin folder in LANraragi to a system folder. It will keep any new/updated plugins and the database file will keep the settings.

Here is the command I ran to map the two folders.

@Nixis198 I thought the local emty directory will overwrite the one in container when first running. Let me try it and feedback. Thanks.

@Nixis198 It does as I expected: mounting an empty directory would overwrite the oraginal path. All plugins are gone after startup. So it is not a solution.

I made a pull request that adds the plugins folder to the dockerfile. So it should be easier to add when making your container. You will still have to reupload your plugins when/if this is accepted, but once you do it once you should be good. All your plugins will be stored not in the container, but in a local folder, and the database file should store your plugin settings.

it is a good idea to use VOLUME! Thank you!

Another workaround is to directly mount the .pm file to the plugin dir

-v /path/to/your/fantasticPlugin.pm:/home/koyomi/lanraragi/lib/LANraragi/Plugin/<type>/fantasticPlugin.pm

Edit: I just relized that LRR just checks all subdirs under Plugin, so if you have a lot of plugins to manage, you can also mount a custom subdir

-v /path/to/your/plugins/:/home/koyomi/lanraragi/lib/LANraragi/Plugin/User

@chierinyan the uploaded plugins are put direct in Plugin. So even it checks all subdirs, the plugins wouldn't be in any subdirs.

[shinji257]

You can mount a subdir and just put the plugin in that subdir yourself rather than uploading via LANraragi.

@shinji257 I understand what you mean. It can be treated as a workaround, rather than be a end user-oriented resolution.
