Jellyseerr doesn't retain config

[bosci9]

Description

I set up my instance of Jellyseer and all was working until I restarted the Docker container. After that I'm prompted with the "setup" screen that asks me to insert my Jellyfin info. I checked in the volume containing the config file and there is the right file (the one with all my information), only Jellyseerr seems not to be able to read it.

Version

Version 1.02

Steps to Reproduce

1. Setup Jellyseerr
2. Run docker-compose restart jellyseerr

Expected Behavior

I expect to open the web interface and find all the data I set up earlier

Additional Context

Here is my docker-compose file:

`version: '3.7' services:

jellyseerr: image: fallenbagel/jellyseerr:latest container_name: jellyseerr network_mode: "bridge" environment:

• LOG_LEVEL=debug
• TZ=Europe/Rome ports:
• 5055:5055 volumes:
• /home/username/media/jellyseerr/config:/app/config`

That is probably because permission issue. Jellyseerr is unable to write the configs to the folder that is mapped so it is unable to retain the config.

Please ensure the config folder has the right permissions.

Also side note: for restarts it's better to use docker restart jellyseerr

I don't think that's the problem because if I open the file settings.json inside the config folder, I can see that Jellyseerr wrote into it before. The config folder belongs to root and has rw permission.

Thanks for the advice btw.

Is there anything in the logs? Also to test could you try mapping the config folder to a docker volume? You can do this by

docker create volume config

And in docker-compose - config:/app/config

Also you just said the config folder belongs to root and not username. Could you clown it to username? Because to my understanding of how docker works, when you don't specify the docker user, it will automatically use the user that created the container so if username created it, but the config folder is owned by root it will not be able to read a second time.

I did that, but now when I open the webpage I get this warning : The /app/config volume mount was not configured properly. All data will be cleared when the container is stopped or restarted. This doesn't appear when I create the container with the docker-compose file that I posted above

Ok, I have no idea why, but reloading the original docker-compose file now works fine. I have not changed anything yet now if I restart the container it retains the config.

For future reference, though that appears as long as the volume is retained in your device the configs would remain. I use volumes for when testing though I do not recommend that to run as production

Anyways, glad you solved it!
