Create empty "shared" folder for quicker setup #14

Closed jmernin closed 2 years ago

jmernin commented 2 years ago

How about creating an empty "share" folder in the AVG repo so that the step to create this (during the setup phase) is not actually needed?

For sure, people can select/use a different folder later on but for most use cases (and in the interest in increased adoption), maybe this would help?

Unfortunately, this is not possible for technical reasons. The share folder is used to share files between the container and the host system. The avg container run completely isolated from the host system for security reasons so it's not possible to alter in any way the host system. The only way is to manually create a folder and map it to the /share path of the container. This step is described in the Setup step of the README file.
