Where do your games go? #63

Closed NovumGain closed 4 months ago

NovumGain commented 4 months ago

So, for example, for retroarch -- where do you put your games? I'm using docker-compose, and.. I've attempted to set up my games folder like so /server/games/:/home/retro/ and yet, it doesn't show games in there -- but I suspect this is because of how complex GOW/Wolf is -- I'm still getting used to even docker, lol.

By default, Wolf mounts your host /etc/wolf/<MOONLIGHT_CLIENT_ID>/<APP_NAME> into /home/retro unless you manually tweak stuff. You have two options here:

You can copy the files down that default path, this will be visible only by one client; so for example connecting from the phone will see different files than connecting from a laptop
You can add a path in the mounts = [] option in the config.toml file, this will be shared by all clients. Example:
```
mounts = [
"/mnt/ROMS/:/ROMS:rw" # will mount /mnt/ROMS from the host into /ROMS in the running app
]
```

Alright sweet -- many thanks! I also do have a bug, but I'll make a separate thread about that -- I still need to probe deeper on it and give the debug logs on it.

Whoop, forgot to close. My bad. Here you go

Thanks, I'm testing out all the latest changes before making a release; please make sure to pull the latest :stable and check the latest quickstart guide. There's only one big change required compared to how it used to work: you have to mount /etc/wolf:/etc/wolf:rw (or whichever path the host app folder env variable is pointing to, if changing changing default).

Let me know if anything is broken!
