I have the similar issue in Docker when is use ftp server https://hub.docker.com/r/delfer/alpine-ftp-server:

HTTP 500 GET  102.5ms /api/files/cat?path=%2Fftp%2Fusername%2F3GP%2FFILE001.3GP&transcode=hls

{"message": "Unexpected LIST response: []"}

Here is my compose file:

services:
  app:
    container_name: filestash
    image: machines/filestash
    restart: always
    environment:
    - APPLICATION_URL=

    - ONLYOFFICE_URL=http://onlyoffice
    ports:
    - "8334:8334"
    volumes:

My issue only occurs when I try to mount a btrfs drive running containers from Windows. And btrfs itself works in Windows under the control of this driver https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs .
