settings.yml doesn't work

[sun2ot]

system:
  defaultLocale: 'zh-CN'

I made a settings.yml in /deploy/stirling-pdf/configs/, and the above is the content of it. The docker-compose.yaml like this:

version: '3.3'
services:
  stirling-pdf:
    image: frooodle/s-pdf:latest
    ports:
      - '8080:8080'
    volumes:
      - /location/of/trainingData:/deploy/stirling-pdf/tessdata #Required for extra OCR languages
      - /location/of/extraConfigs:/deploy/stirling-pdf/configs
      - /location/of/logs:/deploy/stirling-pdf/logs
    environment:
      - DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY=false
      - INSTALL_BOOK_AND_ADVANCED_HTML_OPS=false

Everything is ok with running docker compose up -d but the default language showed is not zh-CN.

And I tried to set the configuation in the docker-compose.yaml like this:

    environment:
      - DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY=false
      - INSTALL_BOOK_AND_ADVANCED_HTML_OPS=false
      # this is from the wiki: https://stirlingtools.com/docs/Advanced%20Configuration/Other%20Customisations#defaulting-language
      - APP_LOCALE=zh-CN

Unfortunately, it still did not work as expected.

I hope these above can help you understand my doubts. Looking forward to your reply.

You are changing the wrong path in your compose

The container path should remain same and you should change your systems to whatever you want in the above example you changed the containers path

[Frooodle]

Also please follow GitHub not website (for app locale side) Website is out of date at moment sorry

[Frooodle]

version: '3.3'
services:
  stirling-pdf:
    image: frooodle/s-pdf:latest
    ports:
      - '8080:8080'
    volumes:
      - /location/of/trainingData:/usr/share/tessdata #Required for extra OCR languages
      - /location/of/extraConfigs:/configs

in this example /configs has to remain same and cant be changed, this is the hard coded path inside the docker that app is looking at /location/of/extraConfigs: is custom to your location, i presume /deploy/stirling-pdf/configs

Thank you very much for your help! My problem has been solved.
