[Feature Request] Symlink support or the ability to change where roms are stored #56

Closed notmayo closed 2 years ago

Heyo! I currently archive all of my backups on another machine (NAS) and have a separate server that serves my docker containers. Would it be possible to allow symlink support or the ability to change where game backups are loaded from?

This can be closed, but I would recommend placing some info in the readme.

This was accomplished by mounting my backups in the container. Excerpt from my docker composefile: volumes:

/opt/emulatorjs/config:/config
/opt/emulatorjs/data:/data
/media/roms:/roms

I then placed (incorrect to the host) symlinks inside of /opt/emulatorjs/data/snes/roms/ that linked to /roms/backupnamehere.zip instead of (correct to the host) /media/roms/snes/backupnamehere.zip
