When running in a docker on Unraid, watch out for cross disk files as they don't show inside container

running on Slackware 15.0 x86_64 ... 5.19.17-unraid

via Portainer

Started getting instances where files I put directly on a volume drive accessed via SMB wasn't showing up in the Valheim server docker processing. Turns out that Unraid splitting the docker volume directories and files across disks in its array didn't come over cleanly into the Docker. I suppose there's some incompatibility with what the docker expects to be run on (Debian 11?) versus what Unraid sits on (Slackware 15.0)

I have this docker running successfully in Unraid, but I cannot even find where it is saving files, i.e. game saves. I want to restore a previous backup, any idea on where that would be for Unraid?

Be careful though. When you move it out of the docker.img into a static volume, if that volume location is split across drives, the container OS is unable to properly access the files as described in my OP.

So is this valheim-server-docker storing the save data in the docker image itself? i.e. not in /appdata?

I finally found the save files. Is it worth just leaving them in the docker file? I don't want to encounter the problem @Magnacoder was experiencing.

For anyone confused like I was, in Unraid, open the terminal, run docker exec -it NAME_YOU_GAVE_OF_DOCKER bash That will open the terminal of that specific docker. Saves are in /config/world_saves

@Magnacoder do you know how I would set the saves to be in /appdata?
